it seems that after your hydropod tweak, the calculation on food/day (when you hover over it in the top left) is wrong (aka it is still showing the numbers from before the rebalance but u get way more food than it shows)
small bug: the point from which the "distance to closest enemy" is calculated seems to be a bit to the left of the actual tower (probably at like 7m distance if i had to guess)
i did a run buying none of the AoE, Bounce and similar effects and thanks to fortify and lifesteal i tanked quite a bit of enemys in the beginning and noticed that the tower seems to prioritize that left side for whatever reason
