Grow A Colony WikiProgress in three checks: keep Food returning, add combat only when threats block the route, then expand while retesting gathering after every move.
Use a visible outcome to decide when the colony is ready for the next layer.
| Stage | Ready when | Primary unit |
|---|---|---|
| Food base | A Worker completes repeated return trips | Worker |
| Combat access | Food continues while a threat is engaged | Major or Drone |
| Expansion | The moved colony still reaches Food | Queen plus assigned units |
Every new area changes travel distance and target pressure. Move in small increments and retest the system that funds the colony.
Observe repeated Food returns before moving.
Use combat units without abandoning every Worker route.
Advance the Queen or colony only as far as the route remains readable.
Watch a full trip after the expansion before continuing.
Update 5.7 reworks the Building system and expands the Skill Tree. The official description does not publish node names, costs, effects or a best path.
Read the live building and node text, then choose a benefit tied to the current bottleneck.
Do not follow a permanent best path built from unnamed or changing nodes.
Stable Food plus enough combat to clear the next obstruction.
Update 5.7 changes both systems, while their detailed values remain update-sensitive.
There is no working Grow A Colony code listed here right now. A code will only appear when the current game shows both a usable value and a real redeem path.
Open guide →Beginner GuideBuild a stable food loop before spending time on combat. Start as the queen, make the Worker route easy to follow, then add Majors or Drones when food keeps moving.
Open guide →UnitsWorkers gather food. Majors and Drones handle combat. That role split matters more than a copied tier list when the colony is still small.
Open guide →FoodIf food stalls, follow one Worker instead of buying blindly. Check whether it reaches the source, turns around, and gets back without running into a blocked route.
