ran out of ant prisoners

experimented to death

but

i might have something here

turns out i was going the wrong way with that sound thing. ants do got some hearing going on. but its not their main thing. no sense of smell. made sure to check that. instead they got this weird radiation sensing crystal organ thing. like every ant is radiationed to heck. nothing harmful to humans which is frankly a missed opportunity on their part. or maybe i just haven't met the rad ants yet. all skateboarding around and such. hanging out at the beach. surfing and extreme wakeboarding. i bet those guys are a party.

anyway. the thing is that radiation is a thing that can be thinged. you can detect it. you can see it with the right stuff. you can muck around with it. even generate it.

this could be the beginning of human ant relations

i do not mean that in a sexy way

please understand

for now i've rigged up a goopthrower gun. teleportal fed. its not pure ant goop. had to muck around a bit. thin it out. add some stuff. take other stuff out. but this goop i ended up with should be very tempting to an ant. not to me. it smells like rotten lemon garbage puke. but i should be able to make ant trails with this thing. lead ants where i want. or away from stuff. made a new #5 to maybe be some kind of antgoop drone. like if i could get drones to lead ants around that could be something. have to test if this even works first. so yeah. need to go out and find some anthonys.

also made a new minimap scouter. haven't got a fix on ant radiation to the point of minimap update. i mean i tried some stuff. but it always ended up as just this big blotchy mess. everywhere is radded all to heck it turns out. props to the ants for taking advantage. so for now it's still antgutgem detecting and me being very noticeful about the presence of acid ants. i got #4 specifically on acid ant detecting duty. and also half my superhammer guys. their job is to basically just roll around in a circle around me. and stop acid ants. from melting the rest of my face. it is a good job. drone satisfaction++

also put a bunch of radiation filters on the scouter. probably none of them will be useful. but you have to start somewhere.

okay. all geared up.

time to go play in the garden
