Ants not spawning on custom design paths?

[visibleghost]

Okay so I know this is not a huge deal or anything but I have noticed that ants do not seem to spawn from spoiled turnips if the turnip/hole/something is on custom paths. Has anyone else noticed this? I mean, it makes sense because if you have a custom brick design or something it would be weird if the ants dug a hole in them but I still think it's a little sad that they don't spawn there, in my opinion if you don't want unnatural holes in your paths just don't put spoiled turnips on them...

I thought it would be super cute to have ants walk over my forest path but they just never spawned even though I had it there for well over a month. Sad ): Guess that idea has to be saved to somewhere where I would use in game dirt paths.

I haven't tried this extensively but I would assume ants spawn on natural paths such as the dirt paths and sand, but not on stone, terracotta, brick or wood or custom design paths. Please let me know if you have any experience with this!

Yeah, I kept my spoiled turnip on the terracotta path in front of my house forever with no ants until I thought of dropping it on the grass instead. Bam, ants every 2-3 times I walked past it.

Haven't tried it, but I can imagine them working on sand and dirt paths since those are already treated differently due to digging.

This is very helpful as I often get annoyed whenever I left candy or rotten turnips out and ants kept spanning every 5 seconds.
