We can't have leaves and a carapace... This plan needs 17.5 kg of biomass we have only 15.

And anyway leaves + soldiers is a better way. Soldiers will defend us and bring more biomass\DNA

yes to this

This.

Right.
If we can spend all our biomass without dying (eg biomass is biomass in storage not the biomass of the hivemind itself) we should go with this:
Leaves (relatively secure source of biomass-good for rainy days) at 7.5kg
70 ProtoWorkers (totalling 80 ProtoWorkers for a whopping 40kg of biomass per day)
and 40 ProtoWarriors (equalling the biomass of the workers) who are to defend the workers from harm.

Else, just buy the leaves.

Also, can we just call the 'unknown insects' Scarabs?

I too noticed it.
I have a comment for you, if you want:
No shit, Captain Obvious.

Believe me, we will do it. But it will have to wait...

BTW we need to to find a way to kill other triffids in the area. They eat our food

Or infect them.

We don't really need the chitin on Ourselves, as it only protects against insects, which our acid also does.

OOC: remember guys you could also spend time on further research of DNA maybe you will find the one or other interesting thing....
oh ans sorry if it wasn't obvious the Biomass mentioned in the Hive Mind Section is the storaged one. currently you can't go over 20 kg because you lack proper storaging containers...
Also Some other Info:
You can't currently raid farther then 10 meters from your current position and if that biomass is converted you will have nothing more.
Concerning your minions:
your brain currently controls every single minion,the digestion,makes thinking and contains your mind. You will get severe penalties for that, as such a mult-multi tasking is hard to do....Consider increasing your brain or the breeding of control-creatures whcih will do the further thinking...
Also Consider the possiblity of creating a mind network between you and your minions so that you can use them as eyes and ears, and that you can (if need be) surpress their basic instincts. Because currently they will only follow you when it doesn't interferes with thei basic instincts. Meaning: If they are ordered to attack something larger they will flee...


Day 2 Nightfall
Assembling the biomass you begin to grow giant fish like leaves, looking like giant solar sails. Additionally your roots grow deeper into the earth to gain more minerals for biomass production and to prevent that you just fall sideways. Suddenly you hear rainfall but no drop reaches you, which is really unfortunate and highly disturbing. You can't manage to figure out where the rain is going but you don't get one single drop...

Day 3 Morning
After having grown your new Appendages, you decide that you should raid your surroundings and create new minions. It nearly costs you all stored biomass, your whole strength of mind and another day but now you have over one hundred small minions raiding the surroundings for you.

Day 4 Nightfall
You find it increasingly hard to control your new "appendages" and notice that if you don't give them direct orders they jut cease to do anything, they simply stop on the spot and do nothing. Additional to that annoyance you can't be everywhere and your other actions also slowly cease. You think that it is now of vital importance to create some thinking control minions and a mind network elsewise you will be completely overstrained...

Let's get some brain growth, and take a look over our DNA and see what we can do about control organisms.
