Welcome to Pocket Ants: Colony Simulator walkthrough where you will build a bustling ant colony from scratch, harvest resources, and fight other insect colonies! In this game, you must strategize and manage your ant colony to ensure its survival and growth. In this guide, we will give you a detailed walkthrough on how to successfully build and manage your ant colony.
Step 1: Getting Started
When you first open the app, you will be welcomed to the game by a tutorial. The tutorial will familiarize you with the game's mechanics, such as how to move your ants, how to harvest resources, how to upgrade and expand your colony, and more. Once you have completed the tutorial, you will be ready to start playing the game.
Step 2: Setting up the Anthill
To set up your anthill, tap anywhere on the ground to have your worker ants start digging a hole in the dirt. Once your hole is dug, you can start building your first room. Click on the room icon to build a storage room. You will need to harvest 10 food and 10 water to build the storage room. To do this, send your worker ants out to gather resources.
Step 3: Harvesting Resources
There are two main resources that you will need to harvest to keep your colony running: food and water. To gather food, tap on a nearby berry bush, and your ants will start harvesting strawberries. The food resource is located on the bottom left corner of your screen, and once you reach 10, you can use it to construct your storage room. To collect water, click on a nearby water source, and your ants will start filling droplets into storage areas. Water is also shown on the bottom right corner of your screen. Once you have both resources, you can use them to build rooms in your anthill.
Step 4: Building Rooms
Rooms are the lifeblood of your colony. Without them, you cannot expand or grow your ant empire. Rooms can be built by clicking on the room tab in the bottom center of your screen. There are several types of rooms to choose from and we will look at them below.
- Storage Room: This is the first room you will build in your colony. Workers deliver food and water resources here, and you can research other rooms or make upgrades in it.
- Egg Room: Once you have a queen ant, you can build the egg laying room, and the queen will start laying eggs. Eggs can be used to grow your ant production and create more worker and soldier ants.
- Nursery: The nursery is where you will place your eggs to allow them to hatch into worker and soldier ants.
- Food Storage: Food Storage is a dedicated room for your colony's food supply.
- Water Storage: Water Storage is where your water is stored.
Step 5: The Queen
Your queen ant is the source of your colony's growth and must be kept safe. Once you have collected enough resources, you can build an egg room, which will allow the queen to start laying eggs. Eggs will take a certain amount of time to hatch, and during this time, you can place them in the nursery. Once they have hatched, you can assign them to different tasks.
Step 6: Assigning Tasks
To assign tasks to your ants, tap on the ant icon, and a menu will appear. From here, you can assign workers or soldiers to different tasks such as harvesting resources, attacking other colonies, or defending your own colony. As you progress through the game, you will need to assign your ants strategically, so they can work more efficiently.
Step 7: Attacking Other Colonies
Once your colony has grown strong enough, you can start attacking other insect colonies. To do this, tap on the ant icon, select your soldiers, and then tap on another colony's anthill. Your soldiers will automatically attack the other colony. Be sure to keep an eye on your soldier's health and assign them to defend your colony once the attack is over.
Conclusion
And that concludes the Pocket Ants: Colony Simulator walkthrough. In this game, you will build a thriving ant colony from scratch, manage your resources, assign tasks, and engage in battles with other colonies. While it may seem daunting at first, with time, skill, and the right strategy, you can own the ant kingdom!
