Description
ColonyLife is simple...
Start gathering resources to survive the night! The night could be dangerous! But staying down in the mine will not solve the problem because there are serveral new mobs focused to kill you! You can even try your luck in fighting a boss!

Create yourself either the supply ship or the supply camp...

and most important!
Start your journey to become the mayor of an big colony!
Build different kind of buildings such as a Town Hall, Libary, Hospital and even a Mine.

And the best part of this, you can hire NPC workers to work in there!
Thanks to MineColonies we can feature NPC workers such as Builders, Farmers, Fishers, Foresters, Guards, Miners, Smelters, Bakers, Cooks, Couriers and many more.
