Burrowing worms are the worst creatures in the game.

[Man of the People]

That is my opinion. Not only that they're probably the most annoying ones already, they have an inconsistency that killed a lot of my dwarfs in unfair way. They have the power to destroy anything I've built on their way, but somehow destroy the earth inconsistently. They just go through the earth and blocks reappears behind them. That blocks dwarfs into the pocket that they can't run away to heal, and end up dying.

There are more powerful creatures in the game and I have no complaints about them because it's consistent and fair. I'd just think it was fair game when dwarfs die. But this worm, I have seen it destroy earth and minerals along with ladders or lamps. And then all the sudden, it doesn't destroy some earth, lock my dwarfs in until they die. It's the unfair inconsistency that really bothers me.

Yet they dont spawn indoors.

There's a mod in the workshop to turn them off, but i agree, MOTP, Burrowing Worms are a royal PITA. I switch them off.

Maybe what I said was a bit too vague, put up a totem in the area you dont want them spawning and they wont spawn there.

This worm has one peculiarity. For some reason he remembers the place where he first spawned and then appears almost always in the same place.
I use this feature and first dig a tunnel to the edge of the world and then dig down to +/- the second layer of dirt, the worm spawns there and never bothers me again.
This is almost the same as disabling a worm in the game files, but this way you always have the opportunity to kill it)
