I have had it, in my grasslands base no less. I took the fight to them, and it was REALLY hard, but because my base was a cluster of small buildings, they ignored the structures and came at me.

If I was in the back end of a longhouse or a castle? I would have been rebuilding for hours because of how fast they chew through terrain.

Oh, and a side note, seekers can now (as of the public test patch) change direction with their fly attack, and stay airborne much longer, so earth walls and moats will do nothing at all to stop them.
