You mean like near the current main nest? Or everywhere?
All votes: taller tower
mutation: taller tower

What do you mean by “evolving” a taller tower?
1 Like
well, evolution is just change, so through natural selection of working designs, the tower will get taller over time

I am afraid that falls under the “actions” category then. Mutations are for either TO or It’s children.
well then we mutate to be better at tower making

Do you plan on making more ant towers at sites of the various colonies?
nah, just the main tower. that one is the OG so it gets special treatment

And you want to use the remaining action to improve the mutation? Or something else?

To set things straight:
All actions go toward making the tower larger.
The mutation is just there for the meme to MAYBE make us better at making towers if it goes through

How large do you aim the tower to become?
megastructure visible to everyone on the same side of the Prime Meridian

Wasn’t willow planning to end up turning the tower into a rocket, which would go against this plan?
well then it will be a tower in space
which is also intimidating

I’m not sure if it will stand the test of the stress that will be exerted on such a tall structure
thats why it needs to be stronger

There are limits to just how strong it can get however.
we are physics-defying mutants. we can make a tower that also defies logic

That would require you to make the entire tower organic in nature

Round 29 - 6:00, May 2st, 2000
Round Summary
At dawn, more work is being done on spreading the ants’ glory.
The Organism Report
TO evolved a new caste which can improve itself when exposed to a certain chemical and at the same time can be quickly disposed of if in contact with either blood or hemolymph (+25 S, +75 MH).
The ant leader also worked on superior boats, this time succeeding at creating a vessel which should be able to traverse the ocean to the east.
After that TO reinforced the base nest alongside it’s children, after that it sent some of those children to too improve the Matiguas colony. With that done the underground spaces of both these nests have been greatly expanded, providing lots more storage area (+50 I).
To then tried working on improving the tower’s already impressive height, but it has fallen from the top and took some damage (-50 H). After this incident TO invested in more tower-building skills, making every mutating ant a bit better at building towers (50% chance that tower-related actions get boosted by 1 point).
Influence Report
More scouts were sent to both Florida and Brassilia, they should start sending resources back in some 36 hours…
A sample of geobacter sulferreductens has been delivered to the main nest area, TO seems to be interested in it. Also Panama has now got it’s own antling colony.
