Lets get higher.
Were to flat.

how many Cms? consider that if you are 321 cm width, you'd need 321 cm to be 1 in height. obviously you can just be 1 cm in height and 161 in width. or 2 in height and 81 in width or 3 and 41, or 4 and 21. 4 cm in height and 21 in width. (this is not "spending filaments" it's just changing how they are stored they are still available) and then you factorize the height by 2 at the N height to get back. so 2 at the fourth is 16 and 16*20+1 is 321. (obviously the 1's and the 3's and such get placed apart for calculations and added back)

I'm not entirely sure what you said, how wide would a 5cm tall thing be?

Would it be 64cm wide?

[The Fool]

It would be about 2.3 cm high to be 64 cm wide. Also we need more mental. The overseer already went over our heads once already.

[BunnyBob77]

Improve stomach and roots.  We have a huge number of filaments, might as well use them.

[RathofSTS]

Increase Mental using 25 filaments.

> dig downwards and move your mass around so that you are a rough sphere about 20m underground.

> try another specialization off the plant spawn that does not have the insect capturing ability, and is much lesser both physically and mentally, but bigger, creeping along the ground and with much bigger photosynthetic area.

> create a root spawn. Basically just roots, taking food from the soil like you, but with a slight independent intelligence and with the ability to creep veeeerrryy slowly through the ground without needing tunnels. like, 1m/day.

> increase mental using like 100 filaments. 

> send out spawn with the specific mission to try to catch new species to base designs of, rather than just food.

[The Scout]

Absorb one of the giant slaves and use him to raise your mental stats. Produce another slave (The acid spitting kind) and get him to get bigger. (Height, length, and height.)

[micelus]

Send scout to look for ant colonies. Get scouts to leave a pheromone trail from the colonies to your home. Set up an ambush for the ants.

Fertilize more eggs into acid guards

I also support the move further underground, but would like to suggest thinking about some sort of artificial cavern (or bunker or something along those lines)

Yeah.
Make a 2 new castes.
One that is 1 cm high and 1 cm long and wide. It should have extremely powerful acid. When stepped on, it should shot it up at what ever it is. Which will more then likely melt itself. It should also try to blend into whatever it's layed on.
Another antlike one, that carries these 'mines' around. It should have .00001 in mentality, so it can make decent chooses where to put them. It should also dig a hole if needed to lay the mine in.

Combine that with a 'stalker' caste to eat/carry what is left behind while staying hidden until the food is down. Can't do much when you have to melt yourself to attack and you don't want to be seen until the mine is triggered.

Even better, give it eyes of some sort, and a "launcher" on its back adapted from legs.

[NRDL]

We really need to make a list or something of all the castes in OP. 

[kaian-a-coel]

Yeah. with names.
Also, "overseer primant" was not our name, but the first overseer's name. Second overseer will be nicknamed "Zweiant". Their place in the chain of command deserve proper names.

And a picture of what our minions look like (more or less):

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yeah, ant-like.

[NRDL]

So...what does the Overmind look like?
