this is a fun mod. i recommend not making all resource nodes automatically plants. but have a bug build the plant instead. so we can fight them with other mods. starwars vs big bugs is an example of this.

w mod man it reminds me of pikmin and i love that series! lowk someone should make that a real mod...

Love it man lots of potential

Always.

is mod still alive

I had similar issue, tried custom ant and couldn't collect the Aphid

Well, might be a bug, I must check it.

it was the custom ant queen I chose then picked the upgrade for Aphid room

Maybe you do not have a harvester ant type. If you did chose it, then that is a bug.

when I do so it just drops the aphid as it enters

Get it with a worker and send the worker inside the colony.

hey sorry for asking how would I Get a aphid into the colony?

Alright.

Structures suffer attrition over time and need maintenance, you have to build Construction Chambers to repair them.

Who do structures lose health at random?

@essential strategy can you expand this mod so theres more factions like termites and stuff like that

Empires of the undergrowth at home:

Nig0r

they're called a laza WHAT

Food spawns near plants.

I think I was playing on too large of a map, that's why it was crashing. Is food supposed to spawn all over the map, or only around the colony?

This mod makes my game crash after 20-30 minutes of playing. I get an error reading, "java heap space error".

Very cool addon for new game experience!

Wait until it choses faction

Anyway to play vs AI?

Steam censsored it

"Laza ♥♥♥♥♥"

Laza what?

Glad to hear that. Yeah, all my mods are tested in multiplayer for competitive purposes.

Reminds me of Empires of the Undergrowth, amazing mod keep it up!

Also has this been tested in multiplayer?

Cool update. Really like the new building system.

gracias!!.espero futuras actualizaciones :)

La esclavista genera una Obrera por cada hormiga enemiga eliminada. Gracias por las sugerencias, las tendré en cuenta.

te dejo unas ideas para una futura actualizacion..dos nuevas facciones hormigas de fuego y hormigas locas (busca en google para informarte mas). agregarle mas termitas al termitero por ejemplo termitas voladoras y obreras (busca imagenes en google) mas bichos por ejemplo mantis y escorpion (el escorpion puede ser tipo un boss) yo diria que agregaras mas hormigas pero no tengo ideas jaja solo tengo esta hormiga kamika c que ese tipo de hormigas es real..bueno eso es todo espero que tomes algunas de estas ideas jaja.

oye essential tengo una pregunta.como funciona la hormiga esclavista como esclavizo a otras hormigas porque nose probe de todo pero no se me puedes decir que tengo que hacer con esa hormiga para que esclavice a otras hormigas?

Thanks for clearing that stuff out! Awesome mod by the way!

You can have ants inside the colony (as resource), or on the surface (as units). Breeders improve reproduction efficiency when in the colony, so it's beeter to have them as resource. Also Breeders can heal ally ants when on the surface, but considering all ants have a passive regen rate, Breeders are only really useful on the surface when having a special ability, like Self Defense or Stealth.

-Normal ant reproduction is 1 ant each 10 seconds. This consumes 1 food.

-With 8 Breeders in colony, time is reduced to 8 seconds, and food consumption is increased to 2.

-With 15 Breeders in colony, time is reduced to 6 seconds, and food consumption is increased to 4.

Anyway with 15 Breeders you can breed a new Queen, so you have to decide what to do depending on your food level (Breeding a new Queen is always more advisable). Also some factions has some buff for ant reproduction like the Nomadic.

I don't get how breeders work. Do they need to be in an anthill?

i need this i love bugs make more of these

Of course, I'll update it, I plan to add more factions and game modes. This mod is more based on the Simant game, an old strategy game about ants.

Nice! Mod reminds me of "Empires of the Undergrowth." Hope to see more updates soon.

Love this mod!

Thanks boe, I plan to do some interesting updates.

This mod is good, it deserves a prize~

Of course, is one of the most recent projects I've.
