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

|Go down. Up is dangerous. The outside world is a myth. (It's a trap)

[adwarf]

D: Its not a trap I swear! ... I just really want to do some of the over world part of the map

I can apply that same logic to down.

I can apply that same logic to down.

But the Gm is trying to get us to move up, since when is following the plot a good thing.

[adwarf]

There is no plot :3 Or is there? If I had a plot it'd be a never ending war between the ants, and the termite colonies

[bitesh]

But the Gm is trying to get us to move up, since when is following the plot a good thing.

Precisely, he has the power to steer us into dead-end after dead-end 'til we do what he wants.

Honestly, if it was me, I'd have let them dig for that stupid DELICIOUS OIL, even if only to have it fail, just for the sheer hilarity of it. I'm still kind of hoping it can be done, in the long run.

[Mr. Palau]

Have the workers expand food storage and the miners dig up.

NVM lets do the following next turn.

In that please can we please have the two workers dig a tunnel under the food area with a lump of dirt in the front. Make the lump large enough so that after the tunnel is connected to the farm area the water will not flood the rest of the nest.

That'll effectively expand our farm area because the currently submerged land will be freed for growing mushrooms.

Your ants can walk on the ceiling

Yeah, and shake that mushroom or something. Spread those spores around, we need moar food to sustain moar ants!

Turn 90

Spoiler: Actions (click to show/hide)

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

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.

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

|Go down. Up is dangerous. The outside world is a myth. (It's a trap)

Work continues as usual, and your tunnels are expanded even further, the upward tunnel was slowed as one of the workers was forced to turn back, and return to expand the storage room for later capacity, but over all the mining continues unimpeded. Elsewhere your larvae have grown into full fledged colony ants waiting for assignment into the work force.

Spoiler: Gm Note (click to show/hide)

The Mushrooms need water to grow so you'll need more of that to expand your farm (Water has two be same height as a worker ant to count)

[bitesh]

Occupants:
3 Colony Ants

Wait, I thought she could only lay 2 eggs at a time.Boon

Have those new recruits join the other miners.

[ComradeGafarov]

That's enough going up. The surface is far too dangerous for us right now. We must dig DOWN FOR DELICIOUS OIL, and maybe some talc.

[Mr. Palau]

Thats good so now can we

have the two workers dig a tunnel under the food area with a lump of dirt in the front. Make the lump large enough so that after the tunnel is connected to the farm area the water will not flood the rest of the nest.
That'll effectively expand our farm area because the currently submerged land will be freed for growing mushrooms.

And have the miners conntinue digging up. Have 2 colony ants expand the hatchery, and 1 help with the tunnel.

Also what are worker ants better at than the other ants? Every non-mining, non-guarding job?

[adwarf]

Worker Ants - Good for all basic Jobs
Mining Ants - Excel at mining
Soldier Ants - Excel at fighting

[Mr. Palau]

Ok then since we are still motly digging stuff out 3 colony ants = 3 miner ants
