Acquire the ability to "hibernate". In hibernation, we will seem lifeless and feel like rock. We will also have no body temperature or make any movement. This way we can hide ourselves when necessary.

Consume 2 filaments to improve mental capabilities, then start to think about powers you can acquire.

Improve the stomach.

you realize that you could have earned more energy by better digesting it...
and generating more heat.
you puzzle on it for a while, and after a hardened effort, serrate your stomach with valves to keep it pressurized, and start seeping inside a highly caustic natural body secretion, maybe you took it from the ants. You might never know. Yet, it seems it would work. Problem is, this time you can't control it anymore. Who said complicated organism were the best?! you still can produce heat the other way, but this one...you can't stop it.
-4 energy -12 food -1 filament=acidic stomach every day, once a day, 12 food are detracted for four energy.

> change your general top level body plan into a long chain of small segments each very similar to an entire ant. Each abaut a 1-centimetre diameter sphere. (Sort of like a centipede, but we don't know that.)

(i have no friggin idea what you just wrote. So i'll just write it works. since it does seem to be only graphical/cosmetic with little camouflage bonuses i suppose)

you wriggle as your mass begins to shift and move. and there, in the silence of the lair, your skin cracks and shifts until you obtain a new form. a strange one, indeed.
-1 energy=top level body now is a long chain of small segments similar to an entire ant.

Acquire the ability to "hibernate". In hibernation, we will seem lifeless and feel like rock. We will also have no body temperature or make any movement. This way we can hide ourselves when necessary.

-2 energy= a kill switch for every not useful is implemented, you realize that maybe, sometime, food might be a problem and you'll need to just wait. like now since there are no ants around anymore. you also realize the need to keep perfectly still while doing this.

Grow a brain

you start changing free unspecialized cellular filaments into mind filaments. the three extra filaments which are not specialized or rock-like are immediately atrophized as nerves begin stretching through them, and as they are placed inside the rock-like protection.

Consume 2 filaments to improve mental capabilities, (i'll go with the precedent "grow a brain" and add your number limitation) then start to think about powers you can acquire.

-2 filaments=+0.0002 mental points

your cellular mind nearly explodes with the possibilities, and with the amount of energy for the new day, you come to realize importants thing:
-1 energy=you could develop a secondary pouch which could fill up with the acid in the stomach, and earning yourself an acid-spitting weapon
-1 energy=you could try and expand your antennaes capacity to be able to emit a terrible or extremely suave voice, which could disperse attacking enemies or attract them

Yeah, get the acid pouch. Make the outside of us acid resistant, and constantly drool any excess acid.

Consume four filaments to increase physical. Dig through the dirt to find minerals and food.

1 energy? cosmetic? Yea, you misunderstood what I meant. I'm not sure how to explain it better thou. By top level body plan I mean the actual shape of the ENTIRE body, as opposed to specific parts or limbs.

no, i got the idea of the top part...i just don't get the general idea of what the rest is :/ i truly have no idea. can you show me a picture, of what you intend? or something similar? ... i truly can't understand.

concerning the others:
Yeah, get the acid pouch. Make the outside of us acid resistant, and constantly drool any excess acid.

the first thing is easily done through a little bit of internal rearranging.
-1 energy -2 filaments=Acid pouch to spit acid from

the other two things would require a drastic external covering in a basic substance which would be needed to be continuosly secerned so as to avoid damage from the excessive acidic drooling. and you do not have the necessary energy, (nor the required quantity of filaments) to do such a thing. at the present.

Consume four filaments to increase physical. Dig through the dirt to find minerals and food.

you consume four filaments, increasing your physical strength.
you can now dig through the earth like a mole...and you don't even have all the claws the moles have!
-4 filaments=+0.0004 physical
you scavenge around following vibrations...and find a truly hard rock you can't seem to go through, but also in fast approach...something quite bigger than you...it's digging it's way towards you though.

Stop moving. When it comes through, try to dissolve it with acid.
