You have a lab built and it gets filled up pretty quickly by the thinkers. You realize that your soldiers are lacking and have all of them eat more biomatter and watch as all your current soldiers get twice as bigger. The upside to this is that they are harder to kill, and by proxy are able to kill more, however they eat 4 times as much biomatter; only 46.9 biomatter was used due to the fact that you can only go up 1 tier or level a turn. You send 200 of your newly christened tier 2 soldiers to the village that was seen to the north. Your swarm has seen its first losses, 24 tier 2 soldiers fell to the village military, the rest of the soldiers wipe out the village military and leave 5 villagers behind(the village has been reduced to a hamlet). Bodies coming back: 113(89 villagers + 24 soldiers). You then divide the new swarmlings evenly between everyone except harvesters. Your harvesters inform you that there is maybe 1 or 2 more turns of biomatter in the surroundings before having to move farther away for biomatter. You will have to decide by than if you will want to expand east or south.
How do you wish to proceed?
The Swarm:
Pop: 3876 total (18.8% soldiers, 14.9% harvesters, 22.1% breeders, 22.1% thinkers, 22.1% tinkers)
731 soldiers(1:8%>lvl2;tier2)(26:3%>lvl2;tier2)(14:2%>lvl2;tier2)(43:1%>lvl2;tier2)(362:lvl1;tier2)(285:lvl1;tier1)
580 harvesters(bringing in 58 biomass)
855 breeders(growing 1710 pop)
855 thinkers(getting 8.517(lab doubling) UP)
855 tinkers(getting 8.5 BP)
Buildings: 1 Nest(3876/10,000(soft max)), 1 Lab(855/1000(hard max))
Upgrades: n/a
Resources:
Biomatter: 75.5(52 being eaten)(100 soft max)
UP: 12.5
BP: 7.5
Bodies: 113(1.13 biomatter)
I have added some more details to the Swarm area, let me know if it is too much. Soft max can be passed, will give penalties to growth in that area. Hard max can not be passed. Bodies will become biomatter if not enough biomatter to sustain the swarm. Also please remember to allocate your swarmlings each turn otherwise they will be auto allocated based on percentages.
