Random Sink Holes

[SunnyGirl]

I have a world that I've been surviving in for 350 days. Now that this new update came out, suddenly, these random sink holes just appeared in our camp and destroyed parts of it. They spawn at random sometimes and form a pit/crater thing with cracks in it. Any time I walk through it, it makes me walk slow. I'm playing the beta version, but with no mods at all. Can anyone help?
Here's a screen shot of it: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/209012195504160770/278695525526798346/Dont_Starve_Together_2_7_2017_8_15_23_PM.png

In the last screenshot, it apparently respawned after I used a command to get rid of the holes.

The Antlion is not pleased! woe to those who do not offer a shiny sacrifice to him in the Desert by the oasis.

it is sort of bad planing on Klei's part that you HAVE to go there in the summer and participate or he destroys your base. A lot of people are busy not starving and dont feel like braving the sands, possible hound attacks and other travel woe's just to prevent base annihiliation.

Cool content is good, Forced content is BAD

Such a Stupid thing... There is no in game way of knowing anything about this. After suffering from this sink hole fate numerous times I finally had to look into it here, and there is no way to ever figure out why it was happening in game. no clues or anything. That is not good gameplay. there should have at least been some explanation in game...

Actually the surface non-appeased Antlion mechanic[dontstarve.wikia.com] can be easily by-passed: when specific sinkholes warning animation plays, just get far from base/any built structure. Same with caves and cave-ins (plus those even provide you with minable boulders, a plus). Yeah, kind of a bummer old worlds have automatically retrofitted said content when in new ones you can opt to off Antlion altogether.
