Version 0.36.0: events all year, farms, genetics and a guide
Published Major release
Meet Alan Wahants, farm aphids, edit your colony's genes, clear a much bigger base, and take Story Quests from the famous ants who stroll through it.
Version 0.36.0 is our biggest update yet. Alan Wahants, a calm old ant with a walking stick, now guides new colonies through a short tutorial you can skip or replay, and leaves 86 Field tips to find across the ten ages. Everything the colony has heard, from age-up scenes to the Great Ant and Satant's bickering, is kept in the new Lore tab to read again.
Your base is much bigger, with wild ground to clear one plot at a time and up to three layout templates that carry through a Nuptial Flight. Farms arrive too: weed the fungus garden, and after the Great Escape herd aphids for honeydew. From the Steam Age you can tune your brood, and from the Atomic Age edit the colony genome with ten traits inspired by real ants.
Famous ants and visiting guests now hand out Story Quests with errands, favours and live fights, and events run all year with a calendar. We also reworked population and the economy, so every building level houses ants and late ages have more to spend on. The full lists are in the patch notes.
