Ants: A beginner's guide

Ants is a collection game in Roblox, where players aim to build their ant colony. At the start, players are given just enough seeds to buy a single basic ant, which gathers more seeds on their behalf. As the colony expands, players earn more seeds, allowing them to unlock faster and stronger ants that can generate more revenue.

Gameplay mechanics

These mechanics play a pivotal role in Ants:

• Seed: Seeds are the in-game currency, used for buying ant eggs. When an ant is deployed, it finds food and brings it back to its nest to generate seeds. Often, seeds appear around the map, and you can pick them up.
• Ants: Ants are workers of your colony, tasked with generating seeds. There are different species of ants with different base stats, which are improved as they level up.
• Ant Colony: You can enter the Ant Colony by tapping the E button near it, and there are two rooms in this structure: the Ant Queen's room and the Colony Tunnel. There is also a dustbin in the colony, where you can discard unhatched eggs.
• Ant Queen: The Queen is unlocked at Level 10, and she assigns you tasks that reward resources upon completion.
• Colony Tunnel: The Colony Tunnel is inside the Ant Colony, and it displays all the ants you currently have. Here you can view the stats of these ants or remove them from the colony.
