| |
| − | ==Overview==
| |
| − | An ant colony is used to raise ants. After seeding the colony with a [[Queen Ant]], the colony will grow and produce [[produces::Mandibular Glue]] and eventually another [[produces::Queen Ant]].
| |

| − | This building becomes available after the [[Myrmecology]] technology is learned at a [[University of Worship]].

| |
| − | ===Queen Ants===
| |
| − | After being built, the colony must first be seeded with a [[Queen Ant]]. If the colony currently has a live queen, you will be able to see the ants moving.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Queen ants can be obtained either by examining plants or as a byproduct of another ant colony. The option to examine a plant will not appear on wood bearing trees, cacti, or thorn-giving plants. Using the hotkey 'E' will also work.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Care and Feeding ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ants eat up to 21 [[Leaves | fresh leaves]]. Older leaves, even the previous week, are not suitable. As the week changes, if there are sufficient leaves provided, the colony's health will increase and the leaves will vanish.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There is a [[Leaves#Leaf History|Leaf History]] available that shows the types of plants needed for fresh leaves each week.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Calendar for the leaf and thistle voids change and the current week number: [http://sharpnetwork.net/atitd/calendar.asp http://sharpnetwork.net/atitd/calendar.asp]
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | A colony's health changes at the end of each week depending on how many fresh leaves are present.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * If a colony has 21 leaves, its health increases by 3 to a maximum of 21.
| |
| − | * If the colony has less than 21 leaves, its health will drop by half rounded down. For example, a colony at 15 health will drop to 7 health. A colony at 2 health will drop to 1 health.
| |
| − | * If a colony has no leaves and its health is zero, the queen dies and the colony must be reseeded.
| |
| − | * If the colony reaches 21 health. then a second queen is produced and the colony health is reduced to 1.
| |
| − | * Mandibular glue is produced based on the new health of the colony. Colonies with high health produce more glue than colonies with low health.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you want to max out glue production, only feed your colony if the health is less than 18. This will keep the health as high as possible without producing a new queen and resetting the colony to 1 health.
