You can see hexagon tiles light up when you hover your cursor over the diggable area.Ĭlicking on a tile in the black area turns it yellow, which indicates that this tile needs to be dug out. Soldier units can be divided into 3 types: melee unit, ranged unit and tank unit. If you have no ant and no food, a worker unit is spawned for free to help revive the colony. The 7 nanitic workers can do anything that normal worker units can do. Workers will ignore gathering and attacking when they are assigned with nest jobs. Nest jobs include digging, building and spawning, and they will be done in this paticular order.
They only do nearby jobs if they are put in pheromone groups. Worker unitss do nest jobs across the nest automatically when they are put in nest group.
