Use current Grow A Colony controls for ant selection, direct control, digging, Building, Follow, Scavenge, Attack, Egg prompts, and device-specific fixes.
Update 5.6 introduced ant control and directed digging; Update 5.7 reworked Building; Update 5.8 announced Formations. Select one ant, egg, target, or build area, read the action shown on your device, and test one short result. Follow, Scavenge, Attack, and old E/R/T footage are dated observations—not a permanent cross-platform key map.
Update 6 announces many quality-of-life changes without naming keys, selection, control, digging, Building or Formation changes. No Beetle-specific key is published. Use the visible action on your device.
Read the Update 6 evidenceStop at the first step that does not match what you see.
Choose the intended ant and confirm its visible role or label before sending any input. A wrong selection makes a working control look broken.
Use the key or button currently displayed on PC, mobile, or controller. The archived 5.6 headline confirms the feature, not one permanent input.
For directed digging, test one nearby open location and follow the current dig prompt. Check the Building route before changing the control.
Update 5.7 reworked Building. Use the live mode, placement, rotate, remove, or cancel labels instead of a pre-update shortcut.
Follow, Scavenge, and Attack appear in dated pre-Update 6 footage. Match the live order to the selected role and the one outcome you want to test.
Update 5.8 announced Formations and Better PvP but did not publish a universal key, formation list, bonus, or persistence rule. Select the intended ants and follow the current on-screen action.
Worker Egg, Major Egg, Drone Egg, and E/R/T letters appear in dated PC footage. Confirm the current label beside each action; do not preserve an assumed mapping.
Use the visible exit, cancel, back, deselect, or close action before switching between direct control, digging, Building, and colony orders.
If a label differs, trust the current interface. Retry one selection and one action in a fresh server before reporting an outdated-control bug.
Clear the active menu, reselect the intended ant or area, and use the action currently shown. Old E/R/T footage does not define Update 6.
Confirm one ant is selected, close Building and Egg menus, move to an open test area, and inspect the current prompt on your device.
Exit the active control state, remove the newest route-sensitive placement, and test ordinary movement before retrying dig or Scavenge.
Treat each platform's visible buttons as authoritative. The public descriptions do not publish a complete device-by-device mapping.
The pre-Update 6 clip shows letters but does not support a lasting universal mapping across versions or platforms.
The archived 5.8 headline confirms Formations exist, not their keys, names, stat effects, limits, or Raid behavior.
Direct control, Building, role orders, and Worker/Major/Drone labels are different interface layers. Clear one state before starting another.
One selected object and one nearby outcome make it possible to identify the first failure.
Confirm creator sebcaddy1 and place 103154273080028 before borrowing any control.
Revision: this route was reviewed for Update 6. Official descriptions establish only the claims explicitly labelled official; live prompts and dated observations supply the remaining checks.
Select, test, exit, and fix one ant at a time.
Check location, live prompt, and reachability.
Use live placement actions and protect ant routes.
Trace a Food route after the controls recheck.
See what the archived headline confirms and leaves unknown.
Use visible orders and count only a full run as completed.
The QOL headline does not itemize control changes or publish a Beetle-specific key. Use the current visible prompt.
Select one ant and use the direct-control action displayed by the current Update 6 interface on your device.
Select one ant, choose one reachable location, and use the live dig prompt while keeping the Building route open.
They appear as unit orders in dated footage. Follow the current label and test the selected role's visible outcome rather than assuming an unchanged rule.
Worker, Major, and Drone Egg prompts plus E/R/T letters appear in older PC footage; read the current key beside each live action.
Select the intended ants and follow a visible current Formation action. No universal key, list, bonus, or persistence rule is published.
The archived 5.8 headline does not publish Formation stats. Do not assume a damage, defense, or speed bonus without current evidence.
No public rule is confirmed. Check the live Formation state and current prompt during each wave.
No complete official cross-platform layout is published. Use visible device prompts and report the version with any correction.
