I’ve got bad news. From my very limited knowledge of fire fires they don’t bread all that fast and colonies don’t travel very far.

So you might increase the fireflies you currently have you shouldn’t expect new fireflies.

Thanks for pointing out the one and only typo I made. Just the one typo. No need for anyone to re-read my comment. There was just that one typo and we all had a Good laugh about it.

It still helps. And they might not travel far but they do travel so it’s good to have a destination.

The best part is that even if it doesn’t work the entire point is that you aren’t doing extra work. Literally just do nothing and at worst nothing will happen but at best you’ll start seeing more and more improvement, if slowly at first.
