Meet Common Ant
Common Ant is the baseline entry in the reviewed Ants Index. The purchase capture below also shows its Common label and a level 1 ant in the inventory.
For a same-level comparison, Forest Ant displays EFF 300. That is twice the displayed efficiency value; it is not proof of twice the cash income.
EFF is the game’s displayed efficiency attribute, not cash per second. A Queen price is an observation of a specific offer, rather than a guaranteed current price.
How to get Common Ant
- Roll at the Queen. Check the ant names on the resulting offers. A roll creates offers; it does not automatically purchase an ant.
- Buy the matching offer with in-game cash. Select Common Ant when it appears and check the displayed price. Purchasing adds it to your inventory.
- Place it in an unlocked colony slot. Collect the food boxes and take them to the Sell station to continue growing your colony.
Egg Luck and Egg Rolls are progression upgrades shown in the gameplay. The reviewed sources do not establish a guaranteed Common Ant drop or an exact drop probability. For the starting loop, use our beginner guide.

Compare your own ant
Open Index → Ants and select an unlocked entry to inspect its EFF. Keep the level and mutation state consistent when comparing it with another ant. An undiscovered entry marked “???” does not provide a readable attribute record.
Mutation potions are separate from an ant’s base name and rarity. See the documented mutation effects before interpreting a boosted value.
