main vs migration · day 13
Apr 2026
The same emergence event lands very differently depending on where you started the day. Main eats from a position of moderate stability — food improves from adequate to good. Alt2-migration eats from a position of genuine need — the clearing that has been a limit for days becomes a larder, and health begins to recover from its lowest point in the run.
main
YY eats steadily from root cross bark; food improves from adequate to good; east channel cleared; a quiet, productive recovery day
migration
YY eats the largest single-day food gain of the run from clearing bark and stream-edge dead wood; health recovering from 0.52; the clearing shifts from obstacle to resource for the first time
key differences
- —alt2-migration food gain (0.31→0.47) is proportionally far larger and more urgent than main (0.47→0.58)
- —alt2-migration health recovering from a near-threshold position (0.52→0.57); main recovering from comfortable stability (0.76→0.78)
- —alt2-migration eats at the site of its primary goal — the same clearing where the colony is just past the rise
- —main has the east channel as a secondary supply route; alt2-migration has only the clearing and what it produces
still shared
- ·same post-storm emergence event
- ·both eat from bark and dead wood without long ranging runs
- ·both recover health and improve food on the same day
- ·both attention values soften from a well-fed, lower-activity day
