Insect hives spawn in rivers

I did a search for this, and I saw that a developer said "I think it's okay as long as it's in shallow water"

I really think this should be revisited for the following reasons:

1. It just looks like a bug:

2. I feel like the mechanic was intended to cause danger for people who dig into huge mountain fortresses that are unassailable, but instead allowing them to spawn in water causes them to spawn on a map with few mountains and possibly only cause damage to reputation as the bugs attack travelers who happen to decide to walk through the river.

3. If they are tunneling in, wouldn't the water drain down the holes? Do bugs really like hanging out in a river rather than an actual deep dark cave?

4. There were other places the hive could have spawned that would have actually caused a threat for me, as I am currently digging into a mountain, but instead they spawned in a river that runs under a mountain halfway across the map, that has been there since I started the game.


Thank you for your time  :)

Im not sure if this is a bug but I see it very weird. Insect hives can spawn in rivers (under overhead mountain) and I suppose that they can in any kind of other walkable water too.
