Hi there, I tried to build more framer ants but I was stuck at 3/12. Everything else is maxed out but I wasn't able to spawn more farmers.

Super impressive to see a fully realized any colony simulator! Took me a bit to figure out how it worked, but the game is pretty good about telling you what to do and figured it out eventually! Really impressed with the building mechanic and how it all works together. Super great game, would just love to see little ant buddies running around if you keep adding to this! ^^
@aesaire i think you need more farms, the farmers are only good if they have farms to produce on. I fully understand if you dont want to go back and try again though. But it would be appreciated.
Impressive colony, in play testing we usually got up to around 30 ants, so its nice seeing someone liking it enough to go as far themselves :)

Even after going through the tutorial I am still semi-confused about the mechanics of the game. Still it's am impressive game for a 3 day jam, it's a colony building simulator with a decent number of mechanics. The lack of visual feedback sort of makes it confusing, I sort of know what the ants are doing but not sure how they interact with the map. I won't penalize you for it though as it's a 3 day jam, this idea is really ambitious and you got a decent amount off the ground. Kudos.
Don't seem to understand how to run the game properly? Am I missing something?
Edit: Found it, but the game is very laggy for me, would downloading it work better?
Hey hey, a small heads up: To get your minimal 20 ratings, it is highly recommended to play and rate other games so that your game will go higher on the site!
On that note, this is a pretty interesting concept, I think what would've really helped was being able to see the ants. I made a small base now, that I could with time upgrade but I really wasn't sure when I could upgrade again and if what I was doing was actually working. Really liked that it was straight in the browser like that, nicely done!
Hello! I am confused / I would be GLAD to play and rate the game, help me out: 1) in the tutorial, I don't understand what is a *chamber* and how to.. create one? I am stuck at step 4. 2) In the game itself, I get *ant production failed* constantly;
Help me out here and will check further ; )
