Aphid farming IMPLEMENTED
Aphid farming IMPLEMENTED
Idea by @samuelch
Ants learn how to farm mushroom as extra food source to support more population. Allow one extra building exceeding tc building limit.
They way this would work is that it would allow to make a building that would increase the building limit like tcs do (wouldn't be able to make unit itself), mushroom farm. That unit would be unique - meaning one per player.
This would allow insectoid to make a bit more units that other races, compensating for their weaker stats. The tech should be rather expensive tho.
Naturally this is referencing ant irl that can farm mushrooms in their anthills, look it up.
This has no relation to myconid race .

Re: Mushroom farming WAITING IMAGE
Maybe instead of a mushroom farm, rename it to an aphid farm (I hope this translates correctly)? As far as I know, ants raise aphids like cattle. Also, it wouldn't confuse people why insectoids can't just eat myconids.
Re: Mushroom farming WAITING IMAGE
I guess it works too.
Apparently some ants can "milk" aphids (that's correctly translated) lol.

So, in addition to technology, need a building?

Nice, although it looks like that aphid is about to get murdered in a brutal way.

Re: Mushroom farming WAITING IMAGE
Well, I thought it would be better than pretending to be an ant collecting milk from aphids.
Re: Mushroom farming WAITING IMAGE
Well thats kinda what ants do in real life though. Of course its not actually milking, but they collect some kind of fluids the aphids.

Re: Mushroom farming WAITING IMAGE
May b u could put a fluid sucking machine on the aphid image similar to the modern machines used to milk cows
It could be smaller, held by the ant on his arms, with a vacuum pipe stuck on some part of aphid (i dont know which part releases the aphid sap though)

Re: Mushroom farming WAITING IMAGE
Yum, looks delicious, but i think its better to remove the wheel, the machine and body of aphid will be more obvious that way

Re: Mushroom farming WAITING IMAGE
Maybe after I changed the color of the valve it became clearer?

Re: Mushroom farming WAITING IMAGE
I think u dont need to specially draw the valve, since it is futuristic we can assume everything is inside the body of machine,
just simply draw it like a vacuum cleaner, it will be enough to get the idea across

Re: Mushroom farming WAITING IMAGE
As for factory, it looks good but i think it looks too much like a human building

Re: Mushroom farming WAITING IMAGE
Oh I totally missed the image. I was expecting more like a farm or a ranch something like that. I suppose there is one on top of the building. I will say, the building doesn't look very futuristic and very much like a human one. I think you could sneak it into AoWw.

Re: Mushroom farming WAITING IMAGE
Now I'm struggling to understand what I'm seeing. Where are the aphids "stored"? It be nice if we could see them.

Re: Mushroom farming WAITING IMAGE
What for? In what other buildings are their units drawn? By the way, in the previous image, there was not aphids under the dome, but a garden for growing greenery to feed the aphids, the aphids themselves inside the building.
Re: Mushroom farming WAITING IMAGE
If aphids were visable, it would make what the building is obvious. Whereas now it could be anything.

Re: Mushroom farming WAITING IMAGE
I love the conveyor belt-type thing and the window to the glowing masses of them, definitely gives the factory farm vibe, in my opinion.
