Hives

The Xenomorph Hive is an intricate network of resin barricades, weeds, nests, and usually, eggs. It's where larvae should stay while developing and where the queen should stay when not engaged in combat.

Probably the most important component of any hive, alien weeds can be planted by almost any form of Xenomorph. They are very, very useful, as they increase alien movement speed by 20%, provide Plasma, and can heal aliens. They cost 50 Plasma to plant, and a purple sac (which is black. wat) forms where you plant it, from which the weeds can grow

Useful for cover and barricades, these walls can be placed just about anywhere. Good for keeping threats out and hosts in.

Also useful for cover and barricades, these doors can be used as walls, but Xenomorphs can pass through them by walking into them or clicking on them with the 'Help' intent. Using 'Harm' intent allows aliens to tear these down.

Nest.png Resin Nests

Very useful for keeping pesky moving hosts secure. Resin nests can walked over by anybody, but have a use beyond simple barricading. These nests can be used by aliens to secure hosts, similar to the way a chair works (drag the host's sprite onto the nest's sprite). Hosts can resist being secured using the Resist verb. Human players can pull others out of the nests by clicking on the nests.

Royaljelly.png Royal Jelly

This useful substance can only be created by the Queen, and is used to evolve past the normal castes. It will start the Royal Jelly saturation cycle, which allows drones to evolve to spitters, sentinals to praetorians, etc. The queen will normally lay some in the hive. If there isn't any, and you want to evolve beyond the starting castes, ask the queen to make some for you.

These are the basis of the whole hive, the hive's future, the only way to infect hosts. Like royal jelly, these eggs can only be laid by the Queen. These eggs produce facehuggers, and take about a minute to grow. When a host is near a facehugger on the ground, the facehugger will move towards the host and infect it with an alien embryo that will kill the hosts and create a larva after 5-10 minutes. Any alien except larva can remove a facehugger from a grown egg by clicking the egg. To make space for new eggs, simply click a hatched egg, and it will vanish. Eggs will open slowly and a hugger will emerge when a suitable host walks within a 4 tile radius of the egg, but this process is quite slow and noticeable.
