Glad I'm not the only one! Maybe it has to do with the obscene amount of pollution my factory is producing? Also, I had previously gone through and cleared those areas out. Maybe they do that now instead of form new villages?

Those are attack groups.

When they decide to attack, they form a group like that and the group recruits nearby biters for some amount of time. When the time's up, the entire group selects a target and starts moving toward it.

So yes, death circles indeed. Death delivery circles.

You spotted the delivery boy.

Those large groups will either go offensive if a pollution source is nearby, or will travel across the land to spawn new biter nests.

I hadn't seen any so big until now. And they just sat there for hours. They never actually attacked. They just sat around peacefully until I came through to clear them out. And no, I'm not playing on peaceful mode!
