They drop Zombie Ant Plate, which can be crafted in a 2x2 square to create a piece of Rotten Flesh. Encountering one usually entails being attacked by three more dropping down from surrounding giant mushrooms. They emit what could be called spore particles when moving. Killing one results in Blaze Powder and Blaze Rods, rather than Magma Cream.įound alongside Black Ants in Fungal Forests, these poor victims of Cordycep fungi are enslaved by the parasitic mushrooms, and as such have grown far larger than their sibling Black Ants. ![]() They inflict double the melee damage and ignite the player when they connect, but their Fireballs do not ignite the player (unless the player gets caught in a Firesource ignited by one!). The standard variety inflicts regular melee damage and can fire igniting Fireballs from a distance, inflicting 2.5 hearts of damage and lighting the player on fire.īrutish in stature when compared to the meek Fire Ant, the Soldier variant has a rare chance to spawn instead of a standard Fire Ant. Particularly nasty but very easy to spot, Fire Ants and their variant-Fire Ant Soldiers-spawn solely in Volcanic Deserts. It will provide one Nectar for each Sugar you have fed it. In order to collect the Nectar, use the aptly named Nectar Collector on the Honeypot Ant. You may then feed the ant up to 8 Sugar, resulting in its abdomen growing progressively larger. In order to feed a Honeypot Ant, you must first tame it with an Ant Medallion by right-clicking on it. Honeypot Ants are found in Ulterior Outback. They are not aggressive even when struck. These placid little cousins to the Black Ant can be used to farm Nectar at the cost of Sugar. Do note that the presence of Black Ants is not a substitute for water crops will still require a water supply. Many have been curious as to the right slot's purpose it is the Black Ant's personal inventory, capable of holding a single stack of materials. The ant will then collect any drops of the designated variety in range and place them into the Silo. If you wish for an ant to collect dropped crops or Seeds, place a Bucket ( Bambuckets will not work) in the left slot, and the variety of crop/Seeds you wish for the ant to retrieve in the centre slot. Remove the Shears from the ant and replace them in the left slot this will fix the ant's AI.) (Note: There is an occasional bug-no pun intended-where Harvesters will stop harvesting readied crops. It will not need anything from the Silo, however you will need a Collector Ant (see below paragraph) to collect the dropped crops. If you wish for an ant to harvest nearby crops that have fully grown, simply give it a set of Shears in the left slot. This ant is known-somewhat unimaginatively-as a Bone Mealer. Ensure that there is sufficient Bone Meal in the ant's Silo and it will get to work. If you wish for the ant to speed up growth, place a Bone in the ant's left slot, and Bone Meal in the centre slot. Do note that there will need to be a stockpile of the same kind of Seeds in the Silo for the ant to complete this task. If you wish for the ant to till Grass/Dirt and plant Seeds of any variety, place any hoe in the left slot, and place the variety of Seeds in the centre slot. To assign an ant a task, right-click on the ant with an empty hand. The Black Ants use the Silo as an inventory to plant and maintain crops like Wheat. Right-click your Silo with the medallion, then right-click an ant-wild or tame-to assign it (this will tame wild Black Ants). and then use an Ant Medallion to direct them to the Silo. Create your Silo first (See the Silo page for crafting recipe and setup). They are not aggressive even when attacked.īlack Ants are helpful little bugs who will work with the Silo to complete various farming tasks that you assign to them. They can be found in Fungal Forests, and can be tamed by right-clicking them with an Ant Medallion. They typically have very low damage, but decent amounts of health.īlack Ants are the variety of ants used for farming. ![]() ![]() Ants of all varieties are found in the Erebus, from the humble Black and Honeypot Ants to the dangerous Fire and Zombie Ants.
