Army ants targeting the nest get stuck when picking up food.

I assume this is because they don't have the same return points as other army ants, so they just sort of stand there when they find food. They probably shouldn't pick up food at all, since they need to attack the nest.

And I think it's because when the army ant collects food it needs to go back to the swarm which is moving it.
BUT they have to attack the nest, so maybe they are confused.

(That's my guess)
I suspect they hardcoded the army ants to carry food back to specified points and leave the area, but forgot to set up this spawner in particular.

Fantastic! I was looking for this issues ages ago but could not find it! Your suggestion makes total sense. We simply need to remove food gathering from the attack army ants and this should be fixed. Thanks for the report!
