Fun fact, the process of "milking" aphids is entirely harmless. The ants will protect a colony of aphids from protectors and occasionally tap the aphids with their antennae to stimulate the aphids to release honeydew. This is though to be an example of co-evolution

[@fiusionmaster3241]

Cool

[@ShadowCake]

🤔

[@orion7353]

...define "stimulate" 🧐 are we talking about an on button of sorts, or... Something else?

[@LycanFerret]

@@orion7353 Honeydew comes from the anus. When an aphid and some other insects bite down on a plant they get internals signals to excrete honeydew. Ants can simulate that reaction by stroking them. It's a very sweet liquid which ants love. Like insect honey.

[@victoriazero8869]

@@orion7353 It's basically the equivalent of ass-touch.

[@ricy4059]

Hey, a few pointers for you, In the bottom right of battles u can see there are 3 buttons, 2 are flowers they are your abilities (upgraded with honey dew) and the other one spawns all your creatures at once. The attack command only affects the ants, not the creatures. You only receive pheromones from battles if you have a battle coin (you get 3 a day). And you were getting resources from battles, if you look below 0/0 you saw a +100 in blue. The 0/0 is how much you had to steal +100 is for winning.

[@ricy4059]

Also for the anniversary event, which has ended now . On the screen it had a bunch of listed activities which give you cake, e.g. +200 for defeating red ants, tho the 24hr cake is the best way of getting them as u get +1 for each bit of cake taken from it and you get unlimited supply

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

Hey RCE a few tips: First of all I’m not sure when you’ve been playing but you should try playing Saturday and Sunday, there’s something that only happens those days. You should upgrade Honeydew and Resin chambers more often to store more. Also the creature parts chamber If creature fusion fails you lose one. Better creature chambers give higher chances of successful fusions.

Be prepared to loose most of your ants…

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

You don’t lose soldiers if you’re attacked, only when you attack others. Also creatures automatically revive after battle so don’t worry about your hard won allies getting killed while you aren’t watching. You do lose resources, but not that many. Also if you don’t attack anyone except Professor Zany you don’t tend to get attacked that much and if you do get attacked the game gives you a shield to protect you from attack for 12 hours.
