Good evening,

I just started a new map on default settings and noticed the following.
After about 10-15 minutes of gameplay, i just set up the first 2 steam engines, i found 2 very strong Biter outpoasts very close to the start just outside my still very early pollution zone.
One of the bases with a small and a big worm, which makes it impossible for me to attack the base this early due to the size and the big worm.
If i would just start the very first smelting the pollution would already reach the 3 bases.

Kind Regards

Seems completely fine to me.

That's not a bug. There's nothing that says big worms can't spawn near the starting area. They have a reduced chance but it's not disallowed.

Okay, maybe i then turned a little paranoid after seeing a big worm right at the beginning, can't recall seeing one this early before.
