Ant Farm Curiosity
I was blasting some ants away on the driveway with a garden hose earlier this morning. The irony of the situation dawned on me as I drowned them en masse because as a child I used to have an ant farm, that I held more dearly than the family dog. To them, I was a god; the hand that feeds. Not that they could possibly have the cognitive function to recognize that, but I digress. Why not add an ant farm curiosity to the game? The components could be something like:

Ant queen is a rather rare one. Maybe any ants can working? Or maybe more than 1 ant can be requires for balanced. Otherwise I agree with this quoted words.Fierce_Deity wrote:Suggested before. +1 except for the recipe. 5 dirts crazy. One would be plenty.

Re: Ant Farm Curiosity
I wouldn't be against having the ability to actually farm ants. Ant queens get fertilized by ant soldiers and lay eggs that hatch into larvae. You have to feed them to up quality as with other things. Could be fun, but I don't see anything like that actually happening.

This kind of curio would be nice. Perhaps ant farm could produce ant soldiers and larvae or studied.
It would be a little bit better than ant queen itself.

Re: Ant Farm Curiosity
These words is true, but the hard to produce curiosities at this present seem to not be worth the efforts in many of the case I see.shubla wrote:Everything doesnt have to be easily produceable.Ysh wrote:Ant queen is a rather rare one.

Re: Ant Farm Curiosity
Mirkwood isnt even a real tree or wood. Is a reference of the Lord of the Rings.
Also massproducing a located resource like mirkwood for an already op curio is a bit counterproductive.
If i need to walk throw the mountains to get edelweis,travel caves infested with bats to get glimermoss or boat the rivers with the danger of raiders, why shouldnt I place an outspost near swamps to produce mirkwood oferings?
Locations wouldnt have any meaning to choose the landing spot for a village with your idea.

Re: Ant Farm Curiosity
why are people acting like this suggestion is for a farmable thing? he suggested a one time use curiosity made with glass dirt and an ant queen.
support.
support.
Newbie and noob do not mean the same thing.
Neither do figuratively and literally.
