removedThis is a screenshot of the nest. It shows a small navigable area near the exit. Over time, as you level up, the nest gets bigger - this is done by removing the rocks around the border (some are highlighted here).
removedThey are set up to block navigation dynamically, so once they are disabled and disappear from the scene, the floor underneath opens up for use by the beetles and for placing objects. We adjusted things so the navigable area is a little ways from the walls and you don't see Beetles penetrating them, although very large beetles are big enough that sometimes their legs might stick through as they turn around in a corner.
addedAs the expansion rocks are removed new nest lighting is activated, so the floor beneath them looks cheerful and safe. You can also see 4 big rectangular patches of "fence" around the nest so a player cannot click outside and drive Beetles crazy trying to navigate somewhere impossible, or place a tasty snack out of reach.
