Quick answer

Read the live prompt before using a shortcut

A gameplay video from August 22, 2026 shows Worker Egg, Major Egg, Drone Egg, E/R/T shortcut letters, and Follow, Scavenge, Attack orders. It does not establish a permanent key-to-action mapping across later updates or every platform.

Step by step

Follow the route in order

Stop at the first step that does not match what you see.

  1. 01
    Confirm the current unit label

    Read Worker Egg, Major Egg, or Drone Egg on the live interface before pressing a shortcut. That avoids applying an old key hint to the wrong purchase or unit action.

  2. 02
    Read the on-screen key prompt

    The dated PC snapshot shows E, R, and T letters. Use the letter currently shown beside the action rather than relying on an assumed permanent mapping.

  3. 03
    Select the intended unit

    A Worker is the published Food role; Majors and Drones are fighting roles. Match the current order to the job you actually want the colony to perform.

  4. 04
    Choose the visible order

    Follow, Scavenge, and Attack appear in the dated footage. For a Food-route test, use the current gathering or Scavenge label and one nearby Food target.

  5. 05
    Recheck after an update

    Update 5.3 was current on August 27, 2026. If a key or label differs, trust the live interface and use this page only as a dated comparison.

If stuck

Try these checks

A letter does nothing

Use the current on-screen prompt, make sure the correct object or unit is selected, and avoid assuming the August snapshot still maps the same action.

The order name is different

Follow the live label. Interface vocabulary can change even when the underlying Worker and fighting roles remain the same.

You are on mobile or controller

This page does not claim a mobile or controller layout. Use the visible buttons and prompts on your device.

Avoid

Common mistakes

Publishing E/R/T as a permanent map

The available clip shows the letters but does not support a lasting universal mapping across versions and platforms.

Mixing order and unit roles

Follow, Scavenge, and Attack are visible orders; Worker, Major, and Drone are unit labels. Keep those two interface layers separate.

Using footage from another colony game

Confirm the sebcaddy1 place ID before borrowing controls from a similarly named Roblox experience.
