Hi. When i play (on 1.1.33) with rampant, expansion dont work. Enemies dont move and not create new hives.
And another problem, they wont attack me (my pollution dont touch they) (enemies attack only when pollution triggered they?)

Rampant isn't enabled on your save...

I enabled Rampant on your save and both attacks and expansions worked for me.

Make sure in Startup settings that "World: Enable new enemies" is enabled.

Then in Map settings you can enable "AI: Print Point Spending to Chat" which will let you know when and where Rampant spends points.


If stuff still doesn't work, make a save and then set the following map settings, https://i.imgur.com/BFEdJe2.png, then crank the game speed to maximum in /editor. Use the following commands:

To test attacks:
/rampantSetAIState 7 (Ends up looking like this after a bit: https://i.imgur.com/pVIY80F.png)

To test expansions:
/rampantSetAIState 5

The bugs will only expand in two AI states, _MIGRATION and _SIEGE. So if your biters aren't in one of those states they will not build expansions. Rampant changes AI state approximately every 10-25 minutes. There is a map setting you can enable and it will print these state changes to your chat.

To test, you can force the _MIGRATION state by typing /rampantSetAIState 5. You can verify that they are expanding by enabling "AI: Print Point Spending to Chat". I recommend going into /editor, setting the game to max speed and watching them build the nests. If it starts building nests then your expansion will work fine. I was able to validate functional expansion on your first save (I enabled Rampant on it).

e: I forgot. You may have to give Rampant a few minutes to index the map's chunks before entering /editor.
