コロニーを改善するための助けが必要な場合は、私たちと一緒に、以下の包括的な Pocket Ants:Colony Simulator 初心者向けガイドをお読みください!私たちの戦略ガイドには、強力なアリのコロニーを構築し、すべての戦いを支配するためのヒントと戦略がたくさん含まれています!

1.リソースを継続的に収集

資源を集めることは、すべての働きアリの最も基本的な責任です。収集して管理するさまざまなリソースもあり、それぞれに独自の用途があります。葉や種などの最も基本的な材料はいつでも入手できますが、ハニーデューや昆虫の体の部分はたまにしかありません。この意味で、継続的な作業は、葉と種子を収集することを中心に展開し、前者の一部を菌類に加工することを考慮しています.

マップ上には常に 3 つの葉があり、1 つが期限切れになるとすぐに別のものに置き換わります。葉はそのまま保存することも、食品加工室で食品に加工することもできます。葉は、食品加工室のアップグレード専用の資源素材であり、同様に種子貯蔵室と体の部品室のアップグレードにも必要です。また、後でヒアリの部屋に侵入するには、大量の葉っぱが必要です。

菌類は、食品加工室で葉を加工することで得られる直接的な産物であり、アリを生産するために女王が必要とする唯一の食料源です。働きアリを産むのに必要なキノコは 1 つだけですが、兵隊アリを生み出すには 15 のキノコが必要です。あらゆる種類の戦いに従事し続けると、常に健全な菌類の供給が必要になります.これは、葉の貯蔵室、種の貯蔵室、甘露室のアップグレードにも必要です。

シードはマップ上でも常に利用できますが、一度に 1 回のみ利用できます。現在の種の供給がなくなるとすぐに、新しい種の山が出現します。種子は、女王の部屋と子供部屋をアップグレードするために必要な専用の資源素材です。ボディパーツチャンバーやハニーデューチャンバーのアップグレードにも必要な素材です。また、ヒアリの巣に入るには大量の種が必要です。

体の部分はより限られたリソースであり、タランチュラ、サソリ、カマキリなどのマップを歩き回るクリーチャーから入手できます。これらのクリーチャーは、フェロモンを使用してそれらを引き付けない限り、24 時間に 1 回しか出現せず、部分的に殺す代わりに捕獲して奴隷にするオプションがあるため、このリソースはより困難になります。体の部分は、奴隷室を構築してアップグレードするためにのみ必要です。

ハニーデューは、主にアブラムシから入手でき、アリ塚に持ち帰るのが難しいため、収集するのがさらに難しいリソースです。別のオプションは、ヒアリの巣に潜入することです。これには多くのリソースが必要であり、準備ができていない人にも大きな挑戦を提供します.

ハニーデューを報酬として提供するクエスト報酬もありますが、その必要性とは対照的に獲得できる金額は非常に貴重なリソースになります.画面の右下にあるハニーデュー ショップにアクセスして、コロニーのパフォーマンスを永続的に向上させるさまざまなバフを表示または購入できます。

2.ニーズに基づいて従業員の行動のバランスをとる

食品加工室のアップグレードを続けると、より多くの働きアリを管理できるようになります。画面の左側にある「ワーカー」アイコンの上に赤い感嘆符が表示されます。これは、指示と展開を待っているアイドル状態のアリがいることを示しています。働きアリが女王によって殺され、新しいアリと入れ替わった場合、新しいアリの群は、割り当てられた仕事で以前のアリをすぐには置き換えないことに注意してください.

まず、女王アリに餌を与えることに専念するための専用の働きアリが必要です。タスクには働きアリのみを割り当てることができます。これは継続的なタスクではありませんが、冒険の大部分にとって重要なタスクになります。昆虫の体の部分も希少な資源です。つまり、労働者を割り当てて、非常にまれに、非常に短期間だけ収集する必要があります。

働きアリの大部分または 99% は、葉と種を集めて分割されます。葉に関する限り、葉が菌類になるために、資源を単に葉の保管室に引きずり込む人もいれば、食品加工室に持ち込まなければならない人もいます.アリをこれらの収集作業に分ける際に考慮すべき 2 つの基本的な要因があります。 1 つ目は、家庭内のそれぞれのリソースの最大ストレージ容量です。2 つ目は、コロニーの生産と開発に関するニーズです。

各プレイヤーはコロニーの改善を進めるためのアプローチが異なるため、コロニーには完全な分業はありません。たとえば、私たちの場合、一般的な比率は 6:3:1 です。これは、10匹中9匹のアリが葉を集め、そのうち6匹が真菌のために処理し、3匹がそのまま保存することを意味します.働きアリの個体数の 1 または 10% が継続的に種子を収集します。

これは私たちが従う標準的な比率ですが、現在のニーズの緊急性に応じて、自然に調整を行います.チャンバーのアップグレードを開始するのに十分なリソースがほとんどない場合は、ゲームを終了する前にプッシュすることをお勧めします.そのため、不足しているリソースに焦点を当てるか、それらに向ける必要があります。

3.事前にアップグレードを計画してください

上記の議論に関連して、蟻塚、特にその中の多数の部屋の開発は、任意の順序で行うことができます.優先順位付けを区切る唯一の要因は、特定のアップグレードを実行するために必要なリソースの量が、それらのリソース用のストレージが保持できる最大量を超えている場合です。この意味で、植民地をスムーズに進行させるために必要な一連のアップグレードを計画することは実用的です.

Pocket Ants:Colony Simulator の重要な機能の 1 つは、すべての異なるチャンバーを同時にアップグレードでき、そのためのリソースのみが必要になることです。それぞれに異なるリソースが必要であることを考えると、同時構築は、特に重要な改善が必要なチャンバーに関しては、従事する必要がある定期的な活動の一部を形成する必要があります.必要なリソースの量が増えるだけでなく、アップグレードを完了するのにかかる時間も、アップグレード レベルが高くなるほど指数関数的に長くなります。

アップグレード オプションを分類すると、ストレージ容量を増やすために純粋に必要なものがあります。一方、他のアップグレード オプションは、コロニーのパフォーマンスを大幅に向上させます。たとえば、食品加工室は、保管できる菌類の量を増やすだけでなく、保持できる働きアリの最大数も増やします。そのため、これは間違いなく優先すべきアップグレード オプションの 1 つです。

食品加工チャンバーのアップグレードのレベルが高くなるたびに、より多くの葉が必要になります。そのため、食品加工の次のアップグレードインスタンスの準備ができていることを確認するために、葉の保管チャンバーに十分な数の葉を保持できるようにする必要があります。

女王の部屋も、レベルが上がるたびに兵士のアリのレベルが上がるため、考慮すべき重要なアップグレードです。兵隊アリはアリ塚を守り、他のアリを攻撃して余分なリソースを得るために重要であるため、これを最大限に活用することも優先事項の1つです.

とにかく、女王の部屋はスターターの最大レベルが5であるため、シードが完全にアップグレードするには比較的短いグラインドが必要です. Just like the food processing chamber and other rooms, though, upgrading the queen’s chamber will eventually require seeds more than what you can store. As such, be ready to upgrade the seed storage chamber for it as well.

The rest of the chambers like the nursery chamber, body parts chamber, and honeydew chamber are not as important at the start, so feel free to a lot resources for them at a later time. While upgrading the slaves chamber can tremendously boost the fusion success rate of your insect slaves, gathering the needed body parts to upgrade it will take some time. As such, you can bank on it later as well once you have upgraded all the more important chambers in your anthill.

4. Follow The Quest Guide

While you can continue to obtain every resource you need and progress through Pocket Ants:Colony Simulator without even bothering with the quests, each objective in the list can earn you valuable resources. Additionally, it is important to look into each one and have it serve as your guide towards progression. Although Dr. Zany does a pretty neat job of introducing you to the basic features of the game, more can be learned or remembered if you regularly check quest objectives you have yet to clear.

Note that you do not need to follow a certain sequence when accomplishing quests although some of them are directly dependent on others. For the most part, the most difficult feat we have faced so far is protecting the convoy from fire ants and not losing a single ant in the journey. By default, this is a very difficult feat to accomplish and you may have to max out the queen’s chamber and have level 4 soldier ants before attempting to clear this objective.

Likewise, you may have to spend some honeydews to upgrade worker ants and soldier ants to accomplish this. The strength, speed, and numbers of your ants are a factor to consider in protecting the convoy but strategies can also be imposed to raise your chances of success.

To start off, you cannot utilize the mini map to check where the fire ants will be coming from and you will have to rely on watching from all sides and spotting trouble as they approach. Each fire ant that approaches will target a specific worker ant and will initially travel a straight line towards its target. The best formation requires that you place yourself at the center of the convoy so you can navigate easily across all sides.

Instead of approaching the fire ant moving towards the convoy, you can instead predict where it is headed and have your soldier ants close in on where that point is. The worker ant targeted by the enemy fire ant will also be constantly marching towards home, so be sure to consider that in the strategic placement of yourself and your soldier ant bodyguards.

5. Exterminate The Red Ants As Soon As Possible

The red ants in Pocket Ants:Colony Simulator serve as your eternal rivals on the map. They have their own anthill, a growing colony, and an unquenchable thirst for the resources you gather for your own colony. It is possible to avoid a direct confrontation with them, but once they decide to gather from resource spots where your workers also obtain materials, it becomes unavoidable.

Red ants will typically be stronger than your ants, especially early on when you have yet to perform any upgrades on your soldiers’ levels. You have the advantage of strategy, however, so with enough preparation, you can exterminate them to have uninterrupted gathering of resources.

While it will be difficult and expensive to try and exterminate red ants with your level 1 soldier ants, it is still possible. If you can avoid doing so and can hold off until you have an upgraded queen’s chamber and stronger soldier ants; that would be the better option. It is also helpful to have the max number of soldier ants available, which is 50, and more than enough fungi to replace soldier ants that fall in battle.

Once you decide to exterminate the red ants, you have to see it all the way through and kill their queen. Otherwise, it will be a waste of effort, time, and resources, as the colony will simply reproduce to replace their fallen members. Regardless if you have level 4 soldier ants and a maximum of 50 to spare as well; a slow, gradual approach towards conquering the red ants colony is recommended.

As a prelude to an all-out attack, you can instead station yourself and soldier ants you recruit at the resource spot where red ants gather materials from. Red soldier ants will accompany their workers to the resource spots and will attack your workers when they get close to it but most of the soldiers are guarding their anthill and the queen. Doing this will cut down not just their numbers but their supply as well and, as far as soldier ants are concerned, you will have the advantage in numbers.

From the resource point, work your way slowly towards the red ant’s base, recruiting soldier ants in case you lose some of them along the way. You can choose to ignore some red worker ants but be sure to eliminate all soldier ants before entering their anthill.

Once inside, there will be a few more soldier ants to eliminate before going for the queen. It may be best to have the maximum number of soldier ants with you before heading into the queen’s chamber as she will be guarded by a lot of soldier ants as well. The queen itself will not be able to defend herself so it is practically a victory when all soldier ants are disposed of.

After eliminating the queen, you will earn a pheromone, which is needed to attract creatures, and a random number of gems. A new colony of red ants will respawn in 12 hours so be sure to prepare for the next one.

6. Farm And Fuse Slave Creatures

The experience of managing ants and the anthill along with watching them as they perform their specific duties can already be a fun treat for players. Destroying red anthills and even searching for and battling against colonies of other players bring extra layers of excitement as well. Beyond all that, however, Pocket Ants:Colony Simulator comes packed with a variety of other insects you can battle with and as an alternative to collecting their body parts, you can enslave them to become a part of your army.

These creatures appear randomly once every 24 hours and you can attract one instantly at random using 3 pheromones. Once a creature is present in the map, a red arrow will point you towards it. Some creatures are more aggressive than others and will attack once you stray too close to them. Others will only strike back when hurt.

There are currently 7 different creatures to collect in Pocket Ants:Colony Simulator with each one having unique traits. Beyond different stats and rarity grades, there is also a different approach to attracting these creatures, fighting them, and utilizing them as members of your army.

The tarantula is most likely the first creature you will see as you spend your first minute or so in the world of Pocket Ants:Colony Simulator and is one of the 2 common insects in the roster of creatures. Tarantulas have average stats and will lock onto a target and charge towards it. You can attract tarantulas using pheromones any time of the day across all weathers.

The praying mantis is the only other common creature you will encounter in the field and attacks very much like tarantulas. These creatures exhibit higher attack rate and speed than tarantulas but have much lower health. Like tarantuals as well, you can very much attract praying mantises using pheromones at any time.

The tiger beetle is an uncommon creature that has superb attack rate and speed, but lags behind in terms of health. Instead of charging into its target, the tiger beetle will jump, enabling it to go for a swift kill but becomes vulnerable once it no longer needs to jump to kill another target. Although the tiger beetle can be attracted using pheromones rather easily any time, they appear more frequently at dawn.

Another uncommon creature to add to your collection is the scorpion, which is as sturdy as the tarantula but has maximum attack rate stats and a little higher speed. The scorpion is likewise a formidable attacker but needs protection as well given its health stats. Scorpions are easier to attract with pheromones during the night time and before dawn.

As the first of the 3 rare creatures in Pocket Ants:Colony Simulator, the bombardier beetle is one creature to watch out for. These creatures are very tough and have at least twice as much health as the aforementioned creatures. Although the attack rate is lower than that of a scorpion, the fact that it can hit and kill anything in its path makes an encounter with it a very dangerous one.

This creature bombards its target from its rear end so it is best to always keep moving about and not let it focus its behind on you. While very difficult to attract, the best time to expend pheromones to tray and summon a bombardier beetle is between sunset and midnight.

The rhinoceros beetle is the slowest creature you can find in the game but also the toughest as its HP exceeds that of the bombardier beetle. The rhino beetle is also capable of eliminating huge numbers of enemies with its AoE attack. Once it starts to glow red, it will damage everything within close proximity.

Though not as effective when attacking enemies in an open area, the rhino beetle is a force to be reckoned with in close quarters, like the queen’s nest. You have a much better chance of attracting a rhino beetle during night time, after dusk and before dawn.

Last, but definitely not the least, is the dragonfly, which brings its own superior advantage in combat given the fact that it can fly. The dragonfly is very fast and powerful and unless it stops flying, it will be invulnerable to attacks. It does not sport as much health as other creatures but definitely best at offensive assaults in the open field. Dragonflies will spawn more often than the other rare creatures and is best attracted when there is rainfall. While it can rain at any time of the day, it is easier to attract dragonflies when it is raining during nighttime.

While it is fun to keep adding more and more creatures to your collection, there is a limit as to how many creatures you can keep and upgrading the slaves chamber will not increase the cap. You can only keep 12 creatures in your army and will have 3 free spaces in storage. You need to spend 200 gems to unlock an extra storage space to have a maximum of 12 as well. Although there is always an option to discard a creature, it should only be a last resort as what you would want is to fuse similar creatures to rank them up.

The higher the level of the creatures, or the higher their star ratings are, the more difficult it becomes to successfully fuse them together. Another important point to consider is that only creatures of the same level can be fused together. A successful creature fusion guarantees a higher grade version that exhibits about twice as much power while a failed fusion will eliminate one of the 2 creatures.

You can increase the probability of a successful fusion in 2 ways. The first one is by upgrading your slaves chamber in the colony menu, which needs a huge amount of body parts. Another way is through spending honeydew via the honeydew shop.

7. Keep Your Defenses Updated

One of the more challenging aspects of Pocket Ants:Colony Simulator comes from the PvP combat, which does not take place in real-time but still difficult to win through, especially for beginners. These battles can take place in 2 distinct ways.

The first one is when you are offline and away from your colony and players who wish to challenge other players may chance upon attacking your colony and ransacking your supplies. The second is if you tap on the attack tab of the battle button on the lower right side of your screen and click on the “find player” icon.

Defense is naturally a more important aspect of the game in our book so be sure to always keep your defenses intact and upgraded. For starters, you need to make sure that all 50 of your soldier ants are deployed in their respective stations for defense. This may either be outside the anthill, within its corridors, or the queen’s chamber.

What you need to keep in mind relative to this, is that whenever a soldier ant perishes in the line of duty, newcomers will not automatically be deployed to their previous stations. Suppose your entire set of soldier ants is wiped out in battle, the next 50 ants produced by the queen will sit idly and not be stationed on any defense locations. As such, make it a habit of always checking their allocations on the defense tab of the “battle” menu and ensure that they are properly deployed.

Likewise, creatures you have enslaved also need to be assigned to different areas for defense. Naturally, you will have to consider some as more suited for the open field, like the dragonflies, while others are best suited for the queen’s chamber, like the bombardier beetles and rhino beetles. In any case, it is a good idea to experience a lot of battles yourself and engage in attacks against other players’ colonies. Win or lose, what you should gain are defense strategies and formations to continuously improve yours over time.

8. Engage In Battles As Often As You Can

As there will be stronger players around if you have just started playing Pocket Ants:Colony Simulator, chances are that you will be overwhelmed by the sheer strength of their defenses, particularly their creatures when you randomly get matched up to one of them with an attack. It will be impossible, or at the very least highly improbable, to win in an attack if you do not have creature slaves in your army’s roster. As such, it is best to farm pheromones first and attract and enslave as many creatures first before you start challenging other players.

Fortunately enough, Dr. Zany offers a much easier way to win battles and earn pheromones. Instead of choosing to attack other players at random, you can instead challenge him by clicking on his button instead. Winning over other players will can earn you more pheromones and resources, though, but as a training ground and for farming purposes, you can challenge him again and again.

You will need to consume 1 battle token before attacking other players or Dr. Zany himself. Note that you will not be able to earn trophies as well if you choose to do battle against Dr. Zany. If you ran out of battle tokens, you can get more from the gem shop.

Although there is an option to purchase battle tokens using gems, the better alternative is obtaining 1 for free by watching a 5 to 30-second video ad on the right side of the gem shop window. You can watch as many ads as you want to earn as many battle tokens. You can likewise battle Dr. Zany as often as you wish as well, effectively giving you an endless opportunity to farm pheromones.

Ones you have collected enough pheromones and captured enough creatures to defend your colony, you may choose to attract more for fusion as well as for body parts needed to upgrade the slaves chamber and boost your chances of a successful creature fusion. Once you are happy with your army and are confident enough to take on other people’s defenses, then engage in an attack.

You will start off with 1,000 trophies, which will increase if you win a battle against another player and decrease if otherwise. Once you have won enough battles and amassed at least 1,500 trophies, you can begin earning yellow pheromones, which are a higher grade pheromone that has a better chance of attracting rare creatures. At 2,000 trophies earned, you can begin earning the rarest pheromones, which are the blue ones and have the highest chance of attracting rare creatures.

In addition to higher chances of attracting rare creatures, yellow and blue pheromones can be used at the pheromone shop to purchase uniquely colored creatures. These creatures do not exhibit any advantage over their regular versions but still cool to have. Likewise, pheromones can also be combined to obtain the next level ones but this will also be dependent on how many trophies you have.

9. Prepare Well Before Taking On The Fire Ants Nest

Compared to the red ant colonies and various creatures you battle with in the field, the fire ants nest is by far the most challenging. You will have numerous encounters with fire ants as you try to collect honeydews from aphid farms, and will protect your convoy from them on the way home. In small numbers, the challenge they provide will be almost equivalent as any other, but within their lair it is a totally different ball game.

You can see a fire ants nest on the map that looks similar to your anthill and the red anthill. Once you step into the entrance, you will be asked to pay a battle token, 950 seeds, and 950 leaves or 350 gems. The first option is the only viable one, though. You can only take soldier ants with you in battle and will have to beat all 15 chambers within to clear it.

Each succeeding chamber grows more difficult than the current one with the first 2 only having fire ants while a growing number of creatures that increase in level litter the next sets of chambers. Each chamber you clear earns you honeydews and clearing chamber 15, which houses the fire ant queen, will reward you a total of 200 honeydews. It is actually a lot, but the journey towards clearing the chamber will be very difficult even if you have invested well enough on your soldier ants.

In any case, there will eventually be a point in the game where you will amass huge amounts of both leaves and seeds. Investing regularly on trips within the fire ants nest even if you only clear a few chambers will be worth it.

Likewise, you will easily be able to replace fallen soldier ants with your massive stocks of fungi so the only thing you need to worry about is actually making progress within it. Every bit of honeydew you earn from each attempt will take you a step closer to purchasing new upgrades anyway, so keep your patience up and explore different strategies to beat the fire ants nest.

As a last note, Pocket Ants:Colony Simulator is a game where progression can be made even if you are offline, relative to the time it takes for constructions and upgrades are concerned or when you are waiting for the next creature, aphid farm, or red ant colony will appear. Actively playing will still contribute much to your progression and there are hardly any limitations as to how much time you can spend on farming various resources.

Well, that is it for our Pocket Ants:Colony Simulator beginner’s guide. We hope that you picked up a lot of useful knowledge from the tips and strategies we shared in this article. Pocket Ants:Colony Simulator certainly holds more in store for its present and future fans as the creature collection window itself seems to hold more space for additional insects.
