Raising Ants
Myrmecology will allow us to raise them. After finding a Queen you seed the Colony with your queen, your ants will move around if there is a queen they will not move if there is not a live queen.
Leaves
- Only 21 leaves can be added at a time
- No older leaves can be used, including the previous week. Only the current week's leaves can be added to the tank.
- Leaves will vanish from tanks as week changes
Obtaining a Queen
- Queen Ants are Obtained by examining plants.
- This option is not availible on wood bearing trees, cacti, or thorn-giving plants.
- The hotkey "E" will also accomplish this task.
Carrying an Ant
- IMPORTANT: Queen ants will die in your inventory if you do not have fresh leaves on you. This process is very fast, approx 5 minutes.
- You must have fresh leaves on you from the current week.
- Example: If you have fresh Leaves (week 34) on you and the week in game changes to (week 35) then your Queen Ant will die.
Raising Ants
Myrmecology will allow us to raise them.
