Events, Star Coins, and Index rewards

Travel Snail, Strawberry King, and Candy Rain have known objectives. Starfall and Aurora are named, but their full rules are not.

Documented server events interrupt the map without replacing the sell loop. Keep ants placed while you do the event objective.

Events with a described objective

Event What to do Reported reward
Travel Snail A large snail appears. Interact with it. Money or reward ticks while you interact
Strawberry King A Strawberry Coin activity with a reward wheel The wheel can award a Candy Mutation Potion
Candy Rain A timed server event Ants can receive the Candy mutation during the event

Candy Rain's chance was not published. Do not type a guess into the mutation calculator and treat the output as the event rate. Strawberry Coins should be spent at the wheel while that event is up. They were added to the shop record on September 11, 2026.

Names with less detail

Star Coins, sign-in rewards, and the Limited Item Pack show up on September 29, 2026. That pack is reported as a star egg, a star ant, a starwing ant, and a starfall land skin for R$4,999. An October 3, 2026 video of the official place includes a Starfall chapter. The tasks inside Starfall were not written down in the sources used here.

A September 28, 2026 session on the official place showed an Aurora notice: ants had a chance to gain a random mutation. Later event tables do not list Aurora. Treat it as a session event, not a permanent schedule.

Gift Coins were added to a shop timeline on September 17, 2026. Their spend menu was not described.

Index milestones

The Index tracks discovered ants and discovered mutations separately. Thresholds pay rewards you claim once. Reported reward types include Cash, Jelly, and Mutation Potions. The exact threshold numbers were not published.

  1. Roll often. Seeing a new offer can fill an entry even when you skip the buy.
  2. Buy Egg Luck and Egg Rolls so rarer names appear.
  3. Apply a mutation you can afford to a keeper so the mutation Index moves too.
  4. Claim the prompt before you forget it.
  5. Replace weak Commons afterward. A milestone is not a reason to keep every discovery in a late-game slot.

Open the Index again after a shop update. New ants and mutations add rows.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you actually do in Build An Ant Empire?

Roll an offer at the Ant Queen, buy the ant with Cash, place it in a nest slot, collect the food boxes it produces, sell those boxes for Cash, then spend Cash on egg luck, egg rolls, food income, slots, and later mutations.

How do codes work?

Finish the short tutorial, click the gear icon at the top-right, open Settings, paste one code, and press Redeem. wnixh2 is listed for 100 Star Coins. 9hcb2s is a 15-minute Cash boost that an earlier page said would expire on October 9, 2026, even though later lists still showed it as active.

What should a new colony buy first?

Buy Egg Luck and Egg Rolls first while you keep enough Cash to purchase a strong offer. Then raise food income and add slots when you have ants worth placing. Buy Ant Speed when trips, not ant quality, are the bottleneck.

Which mutation is the strongest?

Starlight is the strongest listed mutation at 5x EFF and a cash price of $5.1Qi. Petal is 3x at $500T. Put those on ants you will keep. Leaf at 1.35x and $1M is only a first mutate for a keeper, not for a Common you plan to replace.

Do pets replace worker ants?

No. Pets come from Pet Eggs bought with Dungeon Pet Coins. They are companions with their own bonuses. Worker ants still produce food, and mount training is a third system that removes the ant you submit.

Are there gamepasses?

An October 5, 2026 catalog of the Roblox shop says there are no gamepasses and that the listed products are one-time buys. Cash prices in the center item shop are a separate list from those Robux prices.
