[2.1.11] Biter expansions still sometimes generate worms only

Post by Gameboyaac »

I vaguely remember seeing this as patched, but apparently not. Biters still sometimes generate worm only bases on expanding. Suggested fix: walk without rhythm as to not attract the worms.

Hello, thanks for the report,

Can you provide a save game?
Ideally one with the base and one before the expansion happened?

I can provide 2 saves, my most recent and one on the day it occurred, although the nest is already cleared unfortunately. I've marked where the base was in the attached screenshot:
