There is always a possibility your queens will tunnel into the plant layer if there is living things because you have to water the plants. Look at this video on how to make an out world ( https://m.youtube.co...h?v=_JIp0LLhH30 )

Also, if you need an all in one formicarium and you don't feel like making one yourself (I get it, I tried making a formicarium and it looked like the world's most demented donut) I can you with that too.
