Has the player starting area algorithm been altered recently?
Just did 3 starts in a row with bugs too close to base.
Like in one case I had a seed with my starter resources very closely packed and had a nest so close i could not stand on the my stone resources without a 3-5 thick nest attacking me.
I did a lot of start generations(Like 100) 5 months ago and never had issues with bugs inside my starter area.

There was a change to the starting area back in 0.17.something? 0.18.something pre-1.0? I forget exactly when it was.

Ever since then I always enlarge the starting area to at least 200%. Usually I go bigger than that.
