Same. So I started an ant simulation in the spirit of dwarf fortress. Simulate everything down to pheromones and fungal growth. Ants have an internal knowledge graph that can be communicated between ants and updated based on world interaction. So far it hasn't taken over my life, sadly.

As someone who loves SimAnt I would be interested in following your development if possible.
