[Bug?] 0.211 ants waiting at the nest exit

[HofNerd]

I have posted about this one quite some time ago I think? It seems sometimes the throughput of the nest exit (underground) gets very low, causing ants to go out only a few at a time:

Yet some other times it lets an entire swarm walk out as one big group.

Liam made some big changes to the throughput as you put it in 0.2111. Let us know if this is still an issue after that update!

It unfortunately still is an issue, even with small groups some ants look like they can't get out of the nest.

The nest is gated (ants will form a trail) so if what you are seeing is ants waiting to jump on to the trail it in intentional. Once you have one set up the calculation should be such that eventually there should be very few ants in the nest, a lot at the end and several going to and from (a long train with a lot of ants you will be talking quite a while before it reaches this state, think the amount if time it would take an ant to walk from the start of the trail to the end and back again)
