Will the ants ever get fixed?

[DanOramA]

I have read a few times that the ants won't steal your food through walls and stuff but it still keep happening x) I didn't try to have a chest next to a wall but the cooking fire had some meat on it and they ate it all through the wall. At one point near the pond the ant even managed to eat from a bow shot away.

Also related to the ants; I made a second floor to store my food since they can't reach but they have started to flood my home for some reason. At one point I had to kill around 10 ants just to get some peace and quiet. I have now made a 3rd floor and I THINK that solved the problem. Also they keep spawning under my house so I think I have to switch from scaffolding to clay foundation instead...

Anyone else notice these things?

The last "hot fix" for over 3 gb didnt solve my problem with ants - they are TOO MANY and keep breeding, killing everything moving in vicinity and making it aalmost impossible to run near ant nest because of lags. Anyone experiencing something alike ?

Oh my FPS plummeted inside the ant nest x) And I had to walk on ants to get somewhere :P

The 3GB download is because they changed everything, and they haven't upgraded their patching solution. One retired SW engineer suspects they have many objects strung together (as they were taught to do) and some minor changes actually touches most of the data structures. Thus, small fix = big patch.

Crazy stuff, hope they get around to fix THAT on some point x)

the amount of red ants is insane, in and outside of the nests. We have weevil pets and they kept in the middle of the camp far away from the walls and the ants pile up at our walls trying to get to them. plus there is a steady 2 line steam of them marching to our camp now. There are just so many ants.. and we kill a mass amount and within 3 seconds, the number is back, sometimes bigger.
