Bug Fixes 04/24/17:
So a friend pointed out a bug that would destroy the gameplay. At a point the waste would be produced so fast, that it would instantly destroy the hive, because of a flat maxvalue. I have fixed this in the link below, plus some hive images that didn't load before. Feel free to play whatever version you think I should be judged upon.

The game is called Leafcutters.
It's a resource management/Idle game where you have to build the biggest ant hive. As I didn't have time to implement an endgoal, it could be an idea to see how big you can get the hive in for example 10, 20 or 30 minutes.
This is my first time joining Ludum Dare. I finished, even though I had a lot of ideas I had to scrap.
I don't have much experience in programming, but I'm learning. I have just started learning Unity, but don't have the skills to program in C# yet. That's why I have made this in Delphi, beacuse I have some Pascal knowledge.
Programs: Delphi 10 Seattle, MS Paint, Gimp.
Tips:
* You can overpopulate your hive by manually clicking the egghatching activation button.
* Always have plenty of builders, to keep expanding your hive, and not reach population limit.
* Check if operations are running (green button). Some operations like evolve and fungalgarden will pause if you reach population limit or run out of resources.
* Get rid of the waste. Assign Mediae ants to carry out waste from the fungalgarden. If the waste level gets too high, a small part of your hive will collapse. (Waste produces more waste)
* The more ants you have of a certain caste, the faster they will evolve into the next tier. Don’t hesitate to pause evolutions, if you need a lot of a certain caste.
* “Where are the enemies?” Lucky you, I didn’t have time to implement threats to the hive, that the major ants should fight of. That means the main focuses of the game are; Don’t reach population limit, don’t get too much waste, don’t run out of resources.
