Termites are a hostile colony, living in the tree.

## General Information

Termites can be found along the trunk of the tree and have workers and soldiers. Their workers collect resin, while soldiers protect the workers, just like how the Red Ants collect seeds or leaves.

Unlike the red ants, termites cannot be defeated. They continue to spawn indefinitely from their nest at the top of the tree and the crack near the bottom. However, successfully completing the Termite Nest co-op will stop them from spawning for 30 minutes. Soldier termites are faster than other enemy soldiers.

## Strategy

### Resin farming

*For detailed strategy information see: Resin*

Recruit soldiers, enter the tree and set a garrison above the crack in the tree, this will prevent termites from attacking the workers. Go towards the resin pile, kill the termite soldiers and workers and set it as a source.

A good strategy for resin farming in early game is to set workers to collect resin. When the workers arrive at the tree, travel with them to fight the termites guarding the resin and stay on the resin source. Once each worker has collected a resin piece set workers to collect nothing, leave the resin source and remove the garrison when all the workers have left the tree. This approach is slow but effective.

Another strategy for mid to late game is to set up the garrison, defeat the termites at the resin source and set workers to collect resin. Stay at the resin source, constantly recruiting soldiers while the workers collect resin. When the garrison gets below 10 ants, set the workers to collect seeds or leaves, remove the garrison and back away from the resin source. When the garrison cool-down is done, replace the garrison and start again.

It is strongly advised to have **at least** 2000 fungus in stock when farming resin. Keep in mind that you should have one worker giving fungi to the queen, because you will occasionally lose a worker.

Theres a little chance to they drop resin. The real probability of being dropped is not known

### Beehive

*For detailed strategy information see: Beehive*

The termites are a threat when trying to access the beehive. The location of the resin source determines how difficult it is to get past the termites.

The basic strategy is to walk along the right edge of the tree trunk, avoiding all termite soldiers. With no speed upgrades, the player can outrun a termite soldier. However, it is not possible to outrun a termite soldier when the player is carrying something. +40% total player speed allows the player to barely outrun a soldier termite while carrying something.

If the resin source is close to the right edge, soldiers and the garrison will be needed to get past the termites.

## Termite Nest co-op

For detailed strategy information see: Termite King and Termite Queen

Players can access the Termite Nest through the social flag and clicking on co-op tab. There players can fight the termite king and queen to get helpful rewards. Co-ops are multiplayer dungeons. Inside the nest, there are three chambers: one for the lobby and two more for the bosses.

The termite king has three distinct attacks: the tail swipe, the angry dash, and the acid spray.

The termite queen has three different attacks: the tail swipe, the acid cloud and the acid spray.

## Rewards

The resin source is the reward for attacking the termites in the tree. It is best accessed during the 30 minute no-termite timer following a successful Termite Nest co-op.

The rewards for completing the Termite Nest co-op are:

* 2000 resin
* 30 minutes of no termites in the tree
* a chance to get the termite skin

## Trivia

    The termites appear to collect resin from the resin source in the tree however, they do not decrease the amount of resin available by doing so.

The termites in the game are based on real termites including the king and queen.
