Elysium Ant Simulator

Description
Original mod: https://steamcommunity.com/app/403950/discussions/1/451848855001578593/

I very heavily modified the original mod and made it into an actual "Elysium" ant simulator (mostly). I recommend playing if you want a more pure "ant" sim experience with mostly ant AI (bystander is fine if want a sandbox game). And if you have other insect (or spider) mods then those would work as well.

You can dig underground and make tunnels/caverns (though it is slow). You can grow fungus underground (I more based them off fungus growing ants, by default they harvested sacrifices), and for a heavy cost you can go to the Primal planes (be careful returning back to Elysium, it costs as well). Both going to the primal planes and back to elysium requires being on a fungus forest (this is to symbolize a fungus "garden" and seems best terrain for it).

You can also create ant nests which act as a citadel. This is so you can make a "permanent" colony underground because the startplane command doesn't seem to work and not sure how to start in actual Argatha...so...there you go. The ant nests I don't think do anything and if they do, they spawn random ants because I used the "giant ant hill" as the terrain for that. You can't recruit from them so if they don't spawn random ants, they are just there so you can have a base underground.

Outside of that, I've had a ton of fun making this and spent all day working on it. Actually put effort into this. Hope you all enjoy the ant simulator experience. :)

great mod, but it's incomplete, would play it in a long game though

I think mostly been commented on, but this mod is not particularly complete. I'll just point out gaps I think. The ant hills don't do anything and thus are straight downgrades from fungal forests. You can "port" to the elemental plane, but there isn't any reason to, as none of the primal rituals work there, and you can't get back. I could never find anywhere to use the primal growth ritual. All the rituals are missing descriptions as well.

I'm probably not going to use this mod (sorry) but I'm favorite-ing and thumbs-upping it anyway solely because of the cover art. I had forgotten all about SimAnt, but the memories all came flooding back as soon as I saw that picture and for just a second it was 1990-something again and I was young and excited and glad to be alive. Then the moment was past and I felt more ancient and bitter than ever, but the nostalgia trip was worth it. Thanks for that.

(I'm in my 30's, so I'll be dropping dead of old age any day now.)

The anthills dont have a citadel tag. So I dont think they can act as the base. Luckily I spawned on a dark citadel. can you add the scourge feature into them? so they can spawn their own ants that fight for you?

I hope you add troop producing effects to the ant hills like the druid that would be so awesome especially if the queen is required

I love the stupid ants taking over the world. Seems like the mod is a bit overpowered though.
What does "a new nest" do? Seems like its making a new ant hill that does nothing.

Are you still working on this mod? Seems like the ant hills aren't spawning ants.

This is awesome. CoE is a sandbox for all sorts of creative and engaging stuff. Great job and hope you keep making cool stuff. :D

If the flying princess transformed into the new immobile queens to form new colonies its name would fit, and you then could leave the yellow ant to focus on leading antkind to victory.

I really like the idea that different kinds of ants would come from having queens in different places, with rarer places creating the more powerful ants you would want in the late-game.

Yeah it's hard to come up with another tier above Queen. Matriarch is about the only thing I can think of off the top of my head besides maybe Empress.

Good luck to you in working on this mod, though. I've been enjoying it quite a bit so far.
