We def should keep the gunk until we joined a different colony.
So many issues that just turn themselves into battles for food.

I will just point out that Cultivation Emergency plan will fail and dissipate our cultivation if we don't manage to do the gunk in one action, which seems unlikely.
Would it reset the "not cultivated" clock and give Qi Deviation, or would it give Qi Deviation and kick us a down a realm due to 4 turns of not cultivating?

It would reset the clock and give you Qi Deviation.
While you have Deviation, you can still cultivate-- you'll just be stuck at the upper limits of your current Small Realm. For example, you can cultivate at 60/60, but if your Qi is deviated, it will only waste your turn, but still reset the clock.

Ah, sorry, I was mentally thinking of the gunk as just at the door to our lair, not inside it.
Could we move the gunk just outside our lair, then lead the Ladybug to it? Or is that functionally the same thing as the existing option to move the gunk just outside our lair?
Yeah, it's not viable sadly I think.
If we did a two day plan of just gunk-clearing actions, then took a turn break to see where we were, that might keep the spirit of it intact?

We have author response, it's viable. It'll just give us a bottleneck at 60/60 until we resolve it.
I asked Tam, it doesn't.
It would give Qi Deviation but still reset the "days since last cultivaiton" counter to 0.
To non-ants its not even a problem, its an asset.
Yeah I was miscounting the days.
Am I correct in my understanding that currently the poison Qi is also a deviation and will prevent us from advancing until we get rid of it?
No, it's a elemental Qi type, If we have too much of it, it will cause our qi to deviate and game over, and even this is a risk long term, but right now it's fine.
Not game over.
Qi Deviation just means we can't advance and have to invest progress to fix it.
The "x days since last cultivation" thing still resets when we cultivate while having Qi Deviation.
Reviewing some of Tam Lin's previous posts, qi deviation can potentially cause death, so there is a risk of starting a new run. Based on a comment that we can get qi deviation reincarnation perks like starvation and battle ones.
I'm guessing this is why would want to cultivate poison qi, for a poison qi based reincarnation perk.
But yes the poison qi hasn't made us qi deviate yet, but might do so in the future, presumably if we accumulate more.

Hmmm, looking at it, I'm fairly sure we should be injured at 56/60 HP right now, since we used Beetle Charge and would presumably have then healed?
Someone asked if cultivating enough Poison Qi could lead to a Technique, and Tam Lin responded favourably, so I think that's also a definite possibility in this reincarnation.

If the numbers for the last ladybug we fought are any guide, then a non-cultivating ladybug should have 40 Hit Points, and 3 Battle Power.
Can we specifically build Traps that fit singular Ant Fighting better, then bait it with the Taint?
Note that qm disapproves of approval voting.
