Patch 23 September 2019

• New amazing mushroom chambers have been added in the game
  
• Mushroom chambers can be added just like egg chambers or replete chambers
  
• Each mushroom chamber can hold between 10 and 20 mushrooms that can be harvested by the ants with cleaning mushroom task activated. When an ant cleans a mushroom, it becomes a food source and then ants that have the feeding task activated will go and use it to feed the queen or the repletes
  
• Mushrooms duplicate over a random time and if the mushroom chamber where they are is saturated, they start the crumble the tunnels nearby and reducing the max room the colony has
  
• After a water flood form a rainfall goes away, for each mushroom chamber you have a bunch of mushrooms will be created
  
• New Ui buttons for the selection of ants. You can now select each ant class and each ant type. They are placed in group of 5 buttons each of one color Brown-red-yellow-green-blue
  
• When the player clicks on an icon it opens a small menu where you can select +5 +15 +1/2 + 2/3 all. A text shows what are you selecting also ex: Selecting Yellow Diggers
  
• Egg UI has also been changed. it has migrated next to the spawning buttons. It's not finish, but it's better than previous circle buttons
  
• SHIFT key now deselects ants or cancels actions such as putting a chamber
  
• Level 16 has been added. There are 4 grasshoppers that duplicate and you got 30min to kill all the grass hoppers on the map. The map really gets swarmed and the player needs to kill the 4 boss and all the spawned baby grasshoppers
  
• You can now see how many slots a new chamber would have
  
• Chamber visual system has been reversed. If a chamber has 3 spots, circles will appear when they are used
  

Fixed Bugs

• If the player changes the speed during the game, the countdowns like npc spawning, ants losing food, etc will change accordingly and not only when they start back again
  
• Activated NPC bosses will stay near their starting zone and not walk all over the map
  
• I think i solved the issue where repletes would not get fed
  
• Tunnels won't collapse anymore over a set time. Only mushrooms will create collapsing dirt blocks
  
• Physiogastry value will not stay blocked at 0 anymore. I completely did a new equation with no possible zeros. Maybe it goes up too fast now. To be tested
  
• Ant counts numbers have been reduce to fit more the circles
  
• Fixed a bug where a replete would die while an ant would be on its way to feed it. The ant carrying the food would get stuck with food in its mouth and stop moving
  
• Fixed a few rock collider issues that would break the pathfinding. If the player would have had the entrance under a rock the rocks will be destroyed
  
• The player can no longer set patrollers while underground
  
• Flood water won't go as high as before and it will start from down go up and go back down again
  
• Grasshoppers of tier 3 a way bigger and more resistant
  
• Level texts have been changed to explain to deselect with Shift key
  
• Added the shift key in the small indicator at the lower part of the screen
  
• As always, typos!!!
  

To Do

1. Finish Level 16
   
2. Add the Control key with scrolling of mouse or + - to increment or reduce the number of ants selected. Ex: if you have 3 workers, 4 diggers and 1 soldier, if you scroll up + hold control you would have 4,5,2 respectively
   
3. Add Level 17 with the tutorial of mushroom chambers

Hi, and welcome to Ant Queen 3D

NEW STUFF

FIXED STUFF

• Physiogastry countdown was getting stuck at 0. It's a good math equation, but it has a flaw...getting stuck if it came to be zero.
  
• Some times all the ants would freeze. The pathfinding grid was being separated into two grids and so upside and downworld would not be connected anymore. I played with a few values to prevent this from happening.
  
• Soundtrack would be still be audible even if UI slider was set to zero
  
• Changed a few text in campaign intros
  
• Early levels tell the player to also activate feeding on nursers
  
• Quest Ladder system fixed in sandbox more.
  
• Beetle Speed was to high
  
• Tuning of the task system for the ants
  
• Tuning of the patrol system
  

WORK IN PROGRESS

• Work on new level objectives and not repeat previous levels
  

Hi, and welcome to Ant Queen 3D

NEW STUFF

FIXED STUFF

• Missing executable in the previous launch
  
• Winning condition of level 15. There was an issue with the level being completed at launch since there was no Ai ants on the map...BYE
  
• The outside area dedicated to the dirt mount around the entrance is wider and there's a section that will always stay relatively low to not break the pathfinding grid

• The patrol UI for setting patrollers is smaller
  
• Some of the text where fixed to support the new task saving

WORK IN PROGRESS

• Working on the map of level of level 15, I just wasn't happy with the end result.
  
• Bug with unlocking the blue/green ants
  
• The NPC spawner system is being tuned more and more. It's slowly reaching a enjoyable gameplay with out having too many or too few NPCs on the map
  

Hi, and welcome to Ant Queen 3D

Hi, and welcome to Ant Queen 3D

NEW STUFF

• Super soldiers are now faster than workers, but slower than Soldiers.
  
• I’m almost ashamed of this one... when a unit dies, the space it was using is “reopen”
  
• New calculations for the amount of dirt created when the player digs. It correlates to the ammount of tunnels you have
  
• First draft of the NPC spawner system. The difficulty has been lower. The amount of ants that would boost the level of NPCs is higher. The time between spawning is more random.
  

FIXED STUFF

• The dirt blocks on the ground won’t prevent the user from pointing the ground to add a new nursing or replete chamber.
  
• Replet ants that have been moved, will walk towards a new replete chamber. It also works if you leave a replete outside of the colony. If no chambers are free, they will still go inside the colony
  
• As usual, a few typos
  

WORK IN PROGRESS

• Level 16 is under construction
  
• Ai colony gameplay
