Grow A Colony WikiUse Workers to gather Food and reserve Majors and Drones for combat. The E, R and T shortcuts select their visible egg entries in the current interface.
The current interface separates gathering from combat. Start comparisons with the job, not a changing egg price.
| Unit | Visible shortcut | Confirmed job |
|---|---|---|
| Worker | E | Gather Food |
| Major | R | Combat |
| Drone | T | Combat |
Shortcuts and labels are an August 2026 interface snapshot.
Follow, Scavenge and Attack are visible orders. Use them deliberately so a combat move does not pull gathering units away from the food line.
Scavenge fits the gathering job; verify the Worker can also return the Food.
Attack fits Majors and Drones when a nearby target blocks expansion.
Follow gathers selected units around the Queen for repositioning.
Prices can change with state or upgrades, so use the live card while keeping the stable role distinction.
Choose gathering, defense or attack before opening an egg.
Use the value displayed in this server rather than an older recording.
Give the new unit a clear task immediately.
Confirm Food flow or combat progress before adding another unit.
Workers are the confirmed Food-gathering unit.
Majors and Drones are confirmed combat units used against threats.
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 →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.
Open guide →ProgressionA safe order is food first, combat second, expansion third. Update 5.7 reworks building and expands the Skill Tree, but the official page does not publish node names, costs, or a best path.
