{{Template:BuildingInfo|image=Antcolony.jpg|size=3x5|where=[[Compound]]|description=Used to raise ants.}}

==Overview==
An '''Ant Colony''' is used to raise ants. After seeding the colony with a [[Queen Ant]], the colony will grow and produce [[Mandibular Glue]] and eventually another [[Queen Ant]].

==Source==
This building becomes available after the [[Myrmecology]] technology is learned at a [[University of Worship]].

==Cost==

*4 [[Sheet Glass]]
*4 [[Iron Bars]]
*1 [[Thermometer]]
*75 [[Treated Boards|Nontoxic, Termite Resistant Boards]]
*100 [[Red Sand]]
*100 [[White Sand]]
*100 [[Sand]]
*100 [[Dirt]]
*100 [[Clay]]

== Use ==
===Queen Ants===
After being built, the colony must first be seeded with a [[Queen Ant]]. If the colony currently has a live queen, you will be able to see the ants moving.

Queen ants can be obtained either by examining [[Plants]] or as a byproduct of another ant colony. The option to examine a plant will not appear on [[Trees]], [[Thorn-Bearing Plants#Cacti|Cacti]], or [[Thorn-Bearing Plants]]. Using the hotkey 'E' will also work.

=== Care and Feeding ===
*Ants eat up to 21 [[Fresh Leaves]]. Older leaves, even the previous week, are not suitable. As the week changes, if there are sufficient leaves provided, the colony's health will increase and the leaves will vanish.

*A colony's health changes at the end of each week depending on how many fresh leaves are present.

* If a colony has 21 leaves, its health increases by 3 every teppy week (~2 1/2 days) to a maximum of 21.
* If the colony has less than 21 leaves, its health will drop by half rounded down. For example, a colony at 15 health will drop to 7 health. A colony at 2 health will drop to 1 health.
* A colony at 1 health will drop to 0 and the ant will die unless the full 21 leaves are added.
* If a colony has no leaves and its health is zero, the queen dies and the colony must be reseeded.
* If the colony reaches 21 health. then a second queen is produced and the colony health is reduced to 1.
*Ants reproduce babies every 21 days and the health of the tank goes down to 0
*Ants can survive at least 14 hours without [[Fresh Leaves]] in their tank

===== Ant Food =====

* Ant Food was a present during the Holiday Snowstorms 2016
* Adding Ant Food to a tank gives the option to add 21
* Ant Food is a generic equivalent to Fresh Leaves
* Ant Food may be added to a tank the same way as Fresh Leaves but only 21 will satisfy the health requirement of the tank. {{7}}

===Mandibular Glue===
* [[Mandibular Glue]] is produced based on the new health of the colony. Colonies with high health produce more glue than colonies with low health.

*If you want to max out glue production, only feed your colony if the health is less than 18. This will keep the health as high as possible without producing a new queen and resetting the colony to 1 health.

*At 9 health my ants produced 2 [[Mandibular Glue]].

*It appears that [[Mandibular Glue]] does not have to be removed, but can be stored as would [[Cobra Skin]] or [[Crushed Eggshell]]s are, that is, within the tank. 18/4/2009 Diania

===Leaf History===
*There is a [[Leaves#Leaf History|Leaf History]] wiki page available that shows the types of plants needed for [[Fresh Leaves]] each week.
*Calendar for the leaf and thistle voids change and the current week number: [http://sharpnetwork.net/atitd/calendar.asp http://sharpnetwork.net/atitd/calendar.asp]

=== Production ===

With placing 21 leaves in the colony weekly, and removing any glue accumulated:
