When the player grows the intercellular matrix gets done in a very sensible way:
But when a colony spawns in fully grown it gets weird long links.
Top left is an AI colony (and a second one which makes it a bit hard to see) in which the front cell has a really long link to the behind right whereas in the player the front cell has a nice short link to the cell immediately next to it.
I'm not sure in exactly which part the problem is: either the visuals creation or even the attach to cell tree structure being wrong (which would be a more serious bug).
