PROTOWorkers(10):
+5 kg Biomass per day

We'll get lots of biomass from 210 protoworkers. I don't think insects are a threat to us right now, especially with our acid and with 50 protosoldiers running around.

No, but eventually those guys will be noticeable to things that are dangerous to us. Why be dependable on them when we can first make the hive even stronger?

We have to avoid attracting sapient attention.

Until we are certain we can take them on.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.

I vote for Photosynthetic leaves + 50 protosoldiers

Workers are good but they are vulnerable to any local predators, leaves are not.

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

I`d say we should evolve Photosynthetic leaves and a chitin carapace. It will be beneficial to us in the long run.
I vote for this

So do I. Basically we should just keep expanding the hive as much as we can, until it would even be strong enough to take on peril by itself. THEN we can go create noticeable minions.

Also, We should develop our ProtoWorkers to be able to tear apart neighbouring plants and bring Us thier DNA. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Simply first let them try the strength of the plants, or grow our roots to completely envelop the other plants. Maybe even uproot them.

Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.
