Grow A Colony Guides

Pick the situation you can see now. Every route stays tied to the exact sebcaddy1 game and avoids unsupported stats, keys, codes, and fastest-build promises.

Quick answer

Match the guide to the problem you can see

New colony: begin with the five-part loop. Stalled Worker: trace role, order, target, movement, return, and threats. Stable Food: add fighting support and grow one checkpoint at a time.

Four guide paths

Start, fix, grow, or recheck

Each path gives a direct answer first, then visible steps, stuck-state checks, common mistakes, and a next action.

Start here

Learn the live colony loop

Confirm the exact game, read the current controls, and build one short Worker-to-Food route before expanding.
