[Mr. Palau]

Can we over feed the queen so she lays more eggs, when we have more food?

Nope, but she'll evolve to allow hatching of more eggs later.

[bitesh]

We must also amass DELICIOUS OIL and GREAT IRON.

Why do you keep asking for oil? Your an ant you don't use oil, and if you can't get a stone how can you get iron?

You clearly don't have enough imagination or resourcefulness. (And also YOU'RE)

How many eggs can she hatch? And at what rate?

Thanks for that ebbor

[bitesh]

Yeah, thanks for that, ebbor!

And I assume a turn is everytime you post things getting done, right?Yes.

Can I automate an action? As in: HATCH EGGS every 3 turns.

[10ebbor10]

Yeah, thanks for that, ebbor!

And I assume a turn is everytime you post things getting done, right?

Kinda. Though posts tend to be 15 or more turns long.

Yes, I had just realized this. I see now it's not that hard to skim thorugh previous posts. I'll try to do it more often, sorry.

Turn 75

Spoiler: Actions (click to show/hide)

Worker ants - harvest mushrooms, then  deposit chewed roots into farming area, then move eggs into hatchery.
Colony ants = Miner ants, then continue tunnel down.
queen - lay more eggs.

With new workers comes more work, and you soon have your ants mining both up towards the surface, and down towards the rich rock layer that your kind dread for it blocks your expansion. Other then the expansion the mining is uneventful, but your store room is quickly filled with food from the harvest of mushroom. To hold anything else you'll need to expand the room, or that delicious food may begin to rot away.

Elsewhere your soldiers carried the three larvae to there places in the hatchery, and they shall be ready for work in the next cycle.

You never did answer that question. I suppose LAY EGGS might be better syntax, though...
If I can, do it.

[adwarf]

You can automate it, but there are times when you'll want to have her stop to conserve food or stop population growth to prevent starvation.

[Mr. Palau]

Exapnd food storage and hatchery area.

I thought so, but now is not one of those times. Unless... What's the yield rate on that mushroom tree?

[adwarf]

Around forty units of food, takes thirty turns to grow.

[bitesh]

Oh, ok. So all that would go to the Queen, if she was to mass produce ants. We'd have to feed all those ants too. Yeah, I guess it is one of those times, after all. We need to expand our farming/food gathering operation.

Dig UP. Try to reach the surface. There's gotta be more food in the surface.

[adwarf]

Finally your doing what I've been waiting for you to do digging up
