Leafcutter & Honeypot Ant Fix | Patch

2026-07-25

Hi, I fixed some bugs. Changelog: • This bug relating to leaf cutter and honeypot ants not checking if they're in a valid nest properly (https://steamcommunity.com/app/2827520/discussions/0/586181093023264444/) • Leaf cutter ants don't get moldy anymore, they are now ignored by the mold decals. This could potentially cause performance issues since it's a small graphics change, let me know if it does • Small rephrase of the movement tutorial

cool game, i actually want to get into ant keeping as a hobby, and although this game doesn't have everything you need to worry about its a good place to start, also if you just want to do sandbox stuff. Theres just not much else to the game unfortunately.

I like what the dev did with this simulation game. Even though it seems the subject matter might not be a passion for them, they definitely did a bit of research into the subject matter. Make no mistake that Ant Keeping Simulator is a low budget simulation/game from a single indie developer. There is a lack of intuitiveness with the UI and it takes some getting used to. I did have to do a bit of trial and error...

I NEED WEAVER ANTS but other than that, it's alright. I like how I can watch the ants dig their home into the digging nests.

has potential but.... the fights are kinda pointless. wacky animations that dont really show which ant is victor. also the humidifier doesnt work ant niether does the remove tool for removing buildings. if you make an actually playable version i will change my review but until then bad review for unfinished concept and broken controls
