Hello! I'm TheRexYo, a new member of this form (though I've been pretty active lately). I'd like to ask a few questions of the dev's regarding what content is most likely to be implemented soon. I know that fire ants are next, so I'd like to ask a few questions regarding them too. However, most are about what comes after / before that. Finally, I might have a few suggestions for how things could be implemented, which will be listed after their respective questions. As for formatting, Main Questions are bolded, suggestions italicized, and follow-up questions left in default format).
Also, fellow players, I encourage you to ask more questions in the comments! Perhaps we can make this into a Q&A thread.
- (Yes, I've already asked this. I'm just asking again for further clarification.) Are Trap-Jaw ants going to see Formicarium use? If not a definitive yes, how likely do you think it would be?
- Suggestion: To simplify things (and allow for more ant species to exist than would be displayable in the nursery tile tab), there should be a limit to how many ants species are displayed for construction at once. Players should be able assign/swap different species to/from the construction hotkeys using the "Ant Browser", a scrolling list which would theoretically allow for as many ant species to be playable as you (the developers) wish.
- Will AI colonies be released this year? If you're not sure, can you tell us about when you think they might be ready?
- Will Fire-Ants deal venom damage? This one's not as important. Just wanted to know, since most ants don't actually deal venom damage, making the "Weakening" upgrade for F. rufa irrelevant. It would be nice to have some other venomous ants to make this upgrade more viable without spamming upgraded Wood Ants.
- Are any other improvements coming to Freeplay? Not now, obviously, because there was just a reworking of it, but in the future.
- What's your favorite ant species, currently? This one's just for fun. I know you guys are people, so you obviously have opinions. I'd like to know what strategy fascinates you guys the most.
