Core colony loop
- Learn controls — WASD move, Space jump, E interact (keyboard); follow on-screen prompts on mobile/console.
- Visit the Ant Queen — roll or buy ants/eggs with your current currency.
- Place ants — put workers into free colony slots so they can produce.
- Collect Food — pick up the Food boxes your colony generates.
- Sell Food for Cash — use the sell / merchant station; Cash funds the next upgrades.
- Reinvest — early upgrades players commonly compare: Egg Luck, Egg Rolls, Food Value, Ant Speed, and colony expansion (more slots). Choose based on the bottleneck you see (no space vs weak rolls vs slow production).
Exact shop prices, egg tiers, and mutation multipliers change in patches — treat in-game UI as authoritative.
