What should I tap first in Colony Flow Level 314?

Tap dark 24 and the three gold 30 cards, wait, then introduce one red 30 and white 35.

Why do the buffers stay crowded?

Gold 100 and red 200 are persistent on-board reserves, so their ants keep returning while new cards are exposed.

Drain an ornate red-gold Chinese gate by opening dark 24 and gold 30/30/30, then alternate red, gold, white and dark while the 100/200 reserves feed.

Tap dark 24 and gold 30/30/30, then wait while the white perimeter and first roof strip clear.
Add one red 30 and one white 35 only after two holes return.
Alternate gold 30/35 with red 30/35 while the boxed counters fall from 100 and 200.
Use dark 28/30/24 to peel the roof outline, waiting after each dark-gold pair.
Route yellow 22 and short gold 8/12/18/20/27 before starting another red 35.
Send red 8/17/20/26/29 and white 16/22 separately as the gate body opens.
Alternate the remaining red 35s with gold 30/35 until the red reserve drops below 30.
Finish red 33/7/1, gold 13/26/1 and dark 30, waiting for Victory.

Filling every hole with visible 30/35 cards ignores ants still returning from the reserve boxes.
Delaying white and dark until the end leaves the roof outline blocking both reserve colors.

Board notes 5 details

Layout: A symmetrical red Chinese doorway has gold roof ornaments, a central character-like panel, charcoal outlines and white corners. Five holes face dark 24 and gold 30/30/30; deeper rows repeat gold/red 30/35, dark 28/30/24, white 35 and yellow 22. Boxed reserves begin at gold 100 and red 200.
Goal: Clear the white surround and dark outline, then drain the gold roof and red doorway until both reserves and the final roof pixels vanish.
Opening: Tap dark 24 and gold 30/30/30, wait for a gold stream to return, then add one red 30.
Danger Zone: The 100/200 reserves keep feeding ants. Rapidly tapping repeated 30/35 cards blocks white 35 or dark 28, which must remove the outline.
Mechanics: Two persistent reserve boxes turn a deep card grid into a long limited-buffer rotation across four main colors.
