Love the new update, a little bummed to find the magnifying glass is no longer by the oak tree but whatever.

 

This game always ran great for me, even through the public test, until the 20th. 2 new major problems came with this update though, both red ant related:

1. too many red ants and they respawn too fast. I cleared the western hill of every ant I could find, the next day there were dozens running around again.  They’re causing lots of lag and lead to issue #2.

 

I built my primary base on the baseball for the obvious reason: bugs can’t get too it. However, a multitude of red ants find themselves at the baseball every day, squeaking and chirping their asses off, killing every weevil they can find, and sometimes clustering in a tight group where the ball meets the ground. The noise alone is infuriating, but occasionally one teleports to the top of the ball, right in the middle of my base. I’ve seen it happen twice, and I’ve lost countless of pieces of food in the middle of the night, even from chests that are off the floor. I’ve even lost food from my backpack while sleeping in my bed. 
 

you guys already put a mosquito on my second favorite place to build, Rash Island. Please fix the baseball, I can’t live without it.

I have to agree.  It is an amazing update, but the red worker ants I notice have an insane spawn rate.  There are so many that it lags and is extremely framey when I get within 50-75 cm of the red ant hill.  The poor weevils don’t stand a chance now.  Poor little guys…

Keep up the good work!  Few issues that I know will be fixed by the team 😀 This game is really turning out to be great!  Enjoying what the Grounded team is putting out there 😀
