Exploding

Workers can only explode 2 minutes after they are spawned. Mature workers become light brown and their role icons change from worker to explosive.

Explosion damage and effect damage increases from 30% to 100% over 2 minutes after workers have become mature. Fully boosted workers become dark brown and have blue glow.

You can disable attacking to make workers only explode when they are attacked. You can disable exploding to make workers attack normally.


Food processing

Lignocellulose storage tiles can hold 10/ 40/ 100 lignocellulose. The first lignocellulose storage tile is free while later storage tiles cost 5 food to build. Queen tiles can't hold any resources.

You receive 66.67% of the building cost as lignocellulose from deleting tiles.
