7 hours ago7 hr What if ant hills had living honey jars inside them?Grounded 2 should add honeypot ants to certain ant hill chambers.In real life, honeypot ants (genus Myrmecocystus) have special workers called repletes that hang from the ceiling and store nectar in their swollen abdomens like living food tanks. It would be incredible to see that underground in-game.Mechanic idea:Honeypot ants hang from chamber ceilings.Wearing full Ant Armor lets you safely harvest a small amount of nectar.Killing one gives a larger amount.They take a long time to respawn.Killing could trigger soldier aggression.It adds a renewable nectar source, risk/reward gameplay, and amazing visual potential for glowing underground chambers.
