Upgrade boards are permanent. Item-shop potions and jellies are not. Buy the board that fixes the part of the loop that is actually stuck.
What each board changes
| Board | What players use it for |
|---|---|
| Egg Luck | Better quality of Ant Queen offers. It does not guarantee a rare ant on the next roll. |
| Egg Rolls | More offers per Queen interaction. |
| Ant Queen tier | Unlocks higher egg tiers. Keep Cash ready, because a top offer you cannot buy does nothing. |
| Food value | Reported as more Cash per food box. |
| Food Gain | Reported as more food produced or carried. This is not the same label as Food value. |
| Ant Speed | Faster worker trips. Separate from your own walk speed. |
| Nest expansion | Adds room. Individual slots on a new floor still have to be unlocked. |
| Ant level | Raises one worker's EFF and carrying capacity. Spend it on ants you will keep. |
Guides disagree on whether the income board you see first is worded Food value or Food Gain. Read the label on the board in your server before you buy it. The Sell Multiplier is a third idea: the rate at the merchant can move, and a rate below 1 cuts a stockpile. The R$799 Fixed Price product is reported to lock sales at 2.5x. That product is Robux, not a Cash board.
Early order that keeps showing up
- Egg Luck and Egg Rolls, while you reserve Cash for the ant itself.
- Food income, so every box you already produce is worth more.
- Nest expansion when you have ants that deserve the new slots.
- Ant Speed after rarity and sale value are already useful.
- Mutation potions only after a keeper exists.
Expansion before luck fills the new slots with Commons. Luck with zero Cash left means you watch a good offer expire. Speed on cheap boxes is weaker than raising what those boxes sell for.
When to break the order
- Trips are the wait: buy Ant Speed, or a short Speed Jelly, instead of another floor.
- You have more good ants than slots: expand, then unlock the slots.
- The last several buys were Commons: go back to Egg Luck before another cosmetic or potion.
- A board level costs more than a full Cash-boost window: grind another sell cycle instead of draining the reserve.
Each level costs more than the previous one. A 15-minute Cash code is useful only if ants are already placed and you sell through the whole timer. Redeem it at the start of that session, not while you are still in the tutorial.
Use Cash still needed with the price you see on the board. The calculator does not know your nest.
