You build another water extractor to get even more biomatter from the ocean. You allow 200 biomatter to level up level 1 to 2, 151.3 biomatter used to level up 1513 level 1 soldiers to level 2. You use bodies to tier up soldiers, 16 tier 3 soldiers go to tier 4, making them twice as powerful as before, unfortunately they alone use 2.6 biomatter. 1400 soldiers are sent to attack the fort. They have much better troops there, you have a K:D ratio of 0.9:1, inflicting 1031 casualties to the locals and receiving 1239 casualties. Your soldiers retreated before either side could wipe the other, estimates show that they could have wiped out the rest of your troops. Bodies coming back(cut by 50% do to retreating): 1139(all of which are your soldiers). You allocate 3 swarmlings to breeders and the rest equally among the rest. You contemplate a better way to store biomatter. You come up with a bio-vat: provides storage for 10,000 biomatter; 25 BP. Your harvesters inform you that next turn is the last turn to get the max amount of biomatter from this area.

The Swarm:
Pop: 11,598 total (12.5% soldiers, 24.2% harvesters, 10.3% breeders, 26.5% thinkers, 26.5% tinkers)
1444 soldiers: 16:lvl2; tier4(11:76.5%>lvl3, 73%>lvl3), 38:lvl2; tier3(2:71%>lvl3, 5:21%>lvl3, 31:4%>lvl3), 107:lvl2; tier2(53:2%>lvl3, 54:1%>lvl3), 683:lvl2;tier1, 844:lvl1;tier1
2800 harvesters(bringing in 280460(water extractors) biomass)
1200 breeders(growing 2400 pop)
3077 thinkers(getting 30.7 60.7(lab doubling)121.4(bigger brains doubling) UP)
3077 tinkers(getting 30.7 BP)
Buildings: 3 Nests(11,598/30,000(soft max)), 3 Labs(3000/3000(hard max)), 2 Water Extractors(200/200)
Upgrades: Bigger Brains(double thinker output, smarter soldiers, more accurate estimates)
Resources:
Biomatter: 169.6(137.3 being eaten)(300 soft max)
UP: 158.5
BP: 42
Bodies: 1139(11.39 biomatter)
That was your worst battle to date, your soldiers went up against a lot of veteran troops(equivalent of level 4 soldiers).
