The ants shouldn't be able to hoard food anymore, as there was a fix implemented to clear their hills on save/load. However, if you do find that they are still hoarding food, please send us a support request and we'll look into this.

I recommend submitting a support ticket, so we can properly investigate this issue. The team has made improvements to the networking of the game over several updates since Early Access.

I am sorry that you've run into this and hopefully we'll be able to get it sorted out.

We are aware of an issue that resets players' progress when they load a backup Shared World save on Steam. Until this is resolved, please do not attempt to load a backup Shared World save if you are playing on Steam. The team is currently working on a hotfix, and we will update everyone once it becomes available.

Thank you, and we apologize if you have been affected by this bug.
