Mods/MineColony

Summary
Minecolony is based on the game Anno 1602. MineColony gives you the ability to add 5 extra worker mobs, a Delivery Boy, a Miner,a Builder, a Lumberjack and a Farmer. It also creates another mob called the Settler. This is the basic unit in this mod.

Bugs and Incompatibilities
There are 2 versions of this mod. The original (available here: ) is incompatible with other mods, in particular Mo' Creatures and Humans+.

The forked version (available here: ) uses ModLoader and does not suffer the same compatibility problems and works with the aforementioned mods.

Occasionally the Builder will not do anything, even if you make a house upgrade sign. Well, there is a way to fix this, by just killing the builder, and letting a new unemployed person take his place, which usually solves the problem.

At times the Miner can cause crashes due to what appears to be something wrong with his texture. This either has to do with the death of the miner, or when the miner enters water. So be careful when using this one!

It also seems that the Builder's schematics for the Lumberjack's 3rd/4th house upgrade is glitched, making the Builder stay in his house and say something about the schematics being wrong.

Town Hall
A Supply Ship is the first thing you will need as it will give you a Town Hall Chest. If you don't have a Town Hall Chest, you will not be able to place anything else unless you have placed this. To craft a Supply Ship, you will need to craft five boats. Then, arrange the five boats into a boat crafting recipe (pretend the boats are wood planks) and you'll get a Supply Ship. The recipe below, doesn't work because you can only get a Town Hall Chest from a Supply Ship.

Workers
You create workers by placing special worker Chests in the world. Once a chest is placed, a settler Mob is created.

A helper will only work if they have the appropriate tools in their chests, and it is daytime. They communicate their needs to you by heading back to their chests and staying there. When you are close enough the Helper will communicate using the text box. For Example the builder will say out of Cobble 121. The 121 means how much of the item the helper needs. A helper that is sleeping for the night would have a sign saying "Sleeping" beside them. Likewise if a helper is out of tools.
