Follow Grow A Colony progression from nest, Food and Water through ant control, Building, Skill Tree, Points, colony unlocks, bosses, Snake Raid, and war.
Use this order: start with a reachable nest, Worker, Food, and Water; learn direct control and digging; build without blocking routes; read the expanded Skill Tree and observe Points; unlock only from current requirements; prepare fighting roles; approach the recorded three-wave Raid System; then explore colony war after the earlier loops remain stable.
Update 6 adds Beetle, and the official Beetle (Perm) Pass is listed at 499 Robux. The public material does not publish a free route, Point cost, stats, role, Boss or Raid classification. No official source states that Beetle is required for starting or progressing. Keep the first Food, Water and movement loop stable; the QOL headline does not prove a new opening rule.
Read the Update 6 evidenceStop at the first step that does not match what you see.
Build a small reachable first nest, create one Worker, complete one Food return, and identify the current Water interaction before adding complexity.
Select one ant, test direct movement, exit cleanly, then make one nearby directed dig attempt using the live prompt.
Use the current Building interface for one placement at a time and verify that an ant can still reach both sides. The system was reworked in historical Update 5.7.
Read one current expanded Skill Tree node and choose only against a visible bottleneck. Preserve its text before spending.
Observe the Points value before and after one repeatable action. Keep Points separate from Food and avoid a universal farm claim.
Use the current unlock screen, badge, or prompt for colony and species requirements. Do not transfer requirements from another game or old video.
Add a Major or Drone for a visible combat need. Community videos show Snake Boss and Queen Bee, but fixed stats and best teams remain unverified.
Update 5.9 recorded a three-wave Raid System. Update 6 does not itemize a Raid change; use the live interface before treating that structure as unchanged or removed. If the live game still shows three waves, follow all three and wait for a visible result before counting one full completion. The archived 2.5% Snake model is not reconfirmed and does not support one roll per wave.
Update 5.8 historically announced Formations and Better PvP. Use current Formation, colony, and alliance prompts only after Food, Water, route, control, Building, and combat loops stay stable; no permanent Formation bonus, universal PvP build, or war formula is published.
Return to the earliest failed stage. More rooms, units, or fights will not repair an unreachable nest or broken Food route.
Use the live Update 6 prompt, exit the active mode, remove the newest Building obstruction, and retest one ant.
Read the current requirement and preserve the version, date, and source. A badge name can confirm an unlock exists without proving its requirement.
Treat pre-Update 6 video routes as community observations. Do not rely on fixed health, damage, reward, or permanent best-team claims.
A later Skill, unlock, or boss attempt can hide rather than solve a start, control, or route problem.
Official game details do not publish complete costs, rates, caps, or timings for a universal fastest route.
Observe multiple current outcomes and record version context before using any player measurement for planning.
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.
The confirmed 499 Robux Pass route; free access, stats and role remain unconfirmed.
Beetle Creature, broad QOL changes, and the limits of the public announcement.
Build, Worker, Food, Water, control, dig, skill, fighter, and expansion.
Separate Points from Food and record a repeatable before-and-after change.
Choose by a live bottleneck while the current atlas is collected.
Treat all three waves and a visible result as one full run.
Use Formations without inventing keys or bonuses.
Use community video evidence without inventing boss stats.
See current official API names, prices, and sale state.
Start, control, build, upgrade, observe Points, unlock, fight, raid, then approach war when every earlier loop stays stable.
Repair the earliest visible bottleneck and keep routes reachable; no fixed fastest route or time guarantee is published.
After Food, Water access, movement, and the nest route work, and a visible threat or chosen target creates a combat need.
No reliable universal build is possible without a complete current node list, costs, applies-to rules, and reset behavior.
