So... I got Fire Ants into my save

[TheRexYo]

So, everyone here remember how I made a means of hacking in other ant types into a new colony? I really like the idea, but I found something strange, and I figured I should warn the developers about it. I managed to find a way to get Fire Ants into my save, but I don't really know why it's a thing. I won't say any more because I don't want this to be common knowledge since it's not exactly my place to be causing an early fire ants release lol. Anyway, if anyone at SlugDisco wants information regarding how I did it (for patching purposes, perhaps), feel free to ask.

I am not a hacker, programmer or anything like that so this is interesting. In fact, fire ants aren't even built in and are still in the Engine (not packaged) I recon to not share the information and just report it.

does that mean you... you... Uh i probably shouldn't be asking questions but i'm just so curious. I... Will uhhhh....Try to hold my.....self from asking.....questions.

Are you on 'crashtestants'? Perhaps it is more updated not just in the Engine.

I'm running the extra levels beta, actually.

I don't want this to be known to the public, I hope RexYo feels the same way.

Yeah, you're right. I said in this post I won't say anything unless SlugDisco asks me to. That's because it's their game, not mine. Sorry, CoolAnt. I'm here to warn the developers, not cause an early release. If you guys want to know what the Fire Ants are capable of, I might be able to run some combat tests and tell you. But I can't do anything more than that.

Questions are fine if they relate to the ants themselves, but I will not reveal the methods I used to get them. So ask away, if you're still interested.

We still want to keep the hype up, I won't ask even anything. Not sure still when the Fire Ants will be added, hopefully in a few months? Anyways, thank you RexYo for not being a jerk and sharing this the steps.

How big are they compared to an Ereptor Worker? Any level would be fine.

Does that mean that you got fire ants, you got to play as them in freeplay, you got their missions, you got to test them out? Were they available as an AI colony? Did You enjoy it? Did you uhhhh.... Did you play an entire freeplay with them? Did you report this warning the devs to remove the file that allows you to play as them but you secretly thought "i'm gonna miss playing as them now". Did you do all of these? DID YOU? ADSHUAOIJASIUGWAOEDSFOIAUKDZSBOIFhdsyigvewaodsgyGYUIDSYIOZGFWOADS

beta

If its a beta your running it on, then maybe the fire ants are spawn able in the game.

TheRexYo... Uhhh will you answer my questions? Wait maybe he just wants us to ask questions and then he never answers them to keep the viewers of this discussion wondering what the fire ants can do. ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!! ANSWER! ANSWER! ANSWER!

Larger. Which is odd considering that Fire ants are supposed to be "small" according to the devs (or was it the queens?).

All I did was add them to one of my Formicarium saves, so that I could use them in new Freeplay saves. I didn't think it would work, but somehow... it did.

You're joking? I am surprised you get all of these in.
