By the first night, this area of plants should be harvested and you should have your new 30 workers. Start off by spamming 30 minor workers around or below and queen and harvesting from the plants to the left of the nest. Build a leaf storage at the nest entrance, make sure you don't cap on leaves by upgrading those tiles. Dig out the nest a ton, focusing on neat chambers will make you lose the level (and you shouldn't upgrade anything anyways in these levels, it's a complete waste of resources to do so). The number one thing is to have an efficient nest. Also, I tend to prefer taunt majors for 3.1, but stuns work.īeating 3.1 on hard or insane is simply a test of a good understanding of leaf cutter mechanics and nest design imo. Also, it's completely different with the challenge modes, which I haven't played, but I'm talking about 3.1 without challenge mode. To beat 3.1 and 3.2 on hard or insane, I'd say the number one thing is nest design.
