Playing 2.1.9 I came across a nest outside of my base that is literally all worms. This may be normal behaviour but I thought it was very odd so I figured I would make a post just in case.

I have attached an image of it and my save. The base is to the west of my character.

Ref. 134446

This is not easy to reverse, I suppose you don't have a save game from a few hours earlier?

What I suspect, it may be a little bit funny, that there is this 1 chunk with just spitter spawners:
And with 2.1 I made it more 'naturalistic' with the base spawning, that:

• Biters -> Spawner
• Spitters -> Worms

And by chance it seems that only spitters reacted to the call to expand, which naturally means that only worms were created.

Until I can reproduce anything during the build process, I will chalk this up as a funny RNG emergent outlier, but that there is no underlying issue with the base building code that needs to be fixes

(Also, I could also change it so both biters and spitters become bother spawners and worms with a random chance, but that is a question for a different day.)
