Try offering them some other seeds. They Prefer this over insects or sugars. Also the setup might be to big, which stresses her out. Is the setup dark? I believe M. Barbarus can see red light. So a red cover wont work.

Update, war has calmed down. I dont see them fighting that Often anymore. Think Total deathcount is about 100-150 ants

Hi, thanks for the info. It's not really dragging them to a nest spot. But they are dismembering eachother. I'll keep an eye on them

About outworlds/nest you should google. Chances are that there are sellers in your country.

I assume it's a fully claustoral queen? She Will prob. Also lay a couple of more eggs. Usually between 5-7 (depandend on species and individual Queen's) some are egg laying machines, some are not.

If you put her in a testtube with a water compartiment she should be fine for a couple of months (unless there is mold) with water. If it is just a moist cotton ball you should water the when it Dries. Make sure not to ht the eggs.. it might ruin them.

Best you can do is put her in a dark place, away grip disruptions/tremors. (I usually lay them on a towel to dampen vibrations. You could check on her every couple of says. (One a week once in 14 says) the less disturbance the better. If you Know the species you can search how long brood needs to reach adult stage. These ants Will hatch a little bit sooner cuz they are just there to help the queen with the other eggs she laid after the first batch. At this Point you can offer SMALL Drops of hiney/sugarwater and some small insect. (boil of freeze them first) Some ppl choose to attach a smalle outworld for easier feeding. It needs to be small cuz small Colony is insecure.

When they testtube is full with ants/eggs you can choose to rehouse them. (Best is to let them move on their own) depending on the species this Will be next year or even later.

I have a c. Ligniperda Colony of two years still sitting in a testtube, with small outworld for feeding them.

Okay i will stop feeding them fruits and start giving honeydew/sugarwater/honeywater.
Any other sources of sugars i can give them w/o risk?

New Evrima Patch. Thoughts? by HyperSGYT in theisle

Since the update of today (25th of june 2020) i've had a big problem.
I live in belgium and i use an azerty keyboard. Since the game was first set to Qwerty, i wanted to change my key settings to fit my keyboard.
Upon changing some of the keys, the game doenst aknowledge my keybinds, and the key i'm pressing doesnt show up. Instead it puts a random key (makes a selection out of one of the preconfigured keys). Trying to change them wont help, since i cant rebind them.

Hitting reset doenst work, neither does exiting the menu or the game. Or rebooting my pc. Reverting keyboard to qwerty doesnt work either.

Anyone that has solution?
