A gyne setup on second island
By MadMakII
The idea in this setup is to work with fresh ants to avoid losing anything but a few larvas/small workers.
It uses dividers, old,carry,stockpile,caste,chrono and (counter) gates

Step 1 collecting the 84 larvas to fill the 12 larvae storages. (main bottleneck)
Step 2 getting the resources needed to create the ants. (not mandatory but I prefer the system to break there rather than after creating the pod walkers)
Step 3 create 6 fresh small workers to make the princess
Step 4 create the remaining 75 small ants and distribute them to fill the gyne cocoon.

Prerequisite
Gates : timer, old, stockpile (which doesn't require gyne points anymore)
Access to 84 larvas : feasible with max population 200 maybe lower. I had to modify my "Island lava feeder" to only use larvas that wouldn't hurt the overall system. blue the initial setup, red an overflow added to be used by the gyne setup.
Overall view
The maternity
The one on the overall view :
A cleaner setup from another save :
The red dispenser gets larvas from the overflow storage.
The blue dispenser gets larvas from the main storage of the island.
If the small worker gets old, it's renewed at blue dispenser.
If all the storages are full and the small worker still carrying something, it moves to next step.
Most gates are carry gates to shorten the path.
Assemblers needs checking
This part is not mandatory but it's an insurance to go to the end of the process (if it takes too much time, the small worker will die and the whole process is interupted)
The small worker will loop infront of each storage until it's filled with (15 Irons, 11 Fabrics, 10 Lightbulbs, 5 energy pods and 5 energy pods 2)
Princess setup
The 7 dispensers get larva from the first storage in the maternity.
The timer gate (1) is set to 3 minutes to be sure only the first worker will go to the assembler.
The caste gate (2) will only allow princess out.
The small worker that initiated princess creation will renew at last dispenser on the elder trail then go back to maternity to start filling it again.
75 ants to go
Each dispenser is linked to one larva storage from the maternity.
but 7X11 =77 and I only need 75 small workers so the stockpile gate is there to stop the access to the last dispensers on the 7th run when last storage have 1 larva left.
The dividers
The assemblers
The stockpile gate on the lower left is there to insure the princess enter first, mine is set to check the 12th storage in the maternity, tweak to your really own setup.
Tada ! and disclaimer
This is my first guide and English isn't my main language, the setup could probably be faster/smaller/cleaner but the main purpose is to give a path to those (as I was) that are stuck infront of that task ;)
