[0.10.1?][cube] new Biter/Nest next to my items

From what I understand biters occasionally send out "colonizers" who build new nests in suitable places. Apparently some of them thought it's a good idea to get near your base

1)"colonizers" not Macke new base next to yours
2) y are they not killing my base?

From another thread it was said that when a chunk doesn't have any player structures then it's a valid location for biters to make their base.

2) y are they not killing my base?

Does pollution reach them? If not then they have no reason to attack you.

So what exactly is the problem ? This seems to me like standard "biters colonization" base.

Is this three chunks away from a player base? The distance between the edge of the player base and the edge of the biter base appears to be a chunk at most. How is the distance checked anyway?

I like this though, it's a very interesting situation to be in! I wonder if the spawners will start sending a constant influx of biters at the base soon?

Could you provide a save please?

I like to restrict biter expansion near my base. I use walls to block expansion.
After loading a game I noticed sections of the map that I had "blocked" were listed as "enemy expansion candidates"
I tested with a newly generated map.

Chunk is a "candidate" With wall in chunk (isn't that supposed to be MY base?)
placing new wall or deleting replacing wall again clears "candidate" status.
saving/reloading resets.
Same issue

Edit: I just added a chest below wall, same result as with wall. Suspect other structures will be same.

Thank you for the report, this was indeed a problem with saving expansion candidates. It is fixed for 0.10.3.
