Description
The Modern Colony
Build your colony from the Stone Age to a fully automated city. MineColonies is the heart of the pack: every Town Hall level unlocks the next age of technology, from Create and Immersive Engineering to Mekanism, Powah and Applied Energistics 2.
Five ages of progression
Each age is guided step by step by FTB Quests:
- Stone Age: copper, Create basics and your first Town Hall.
- Copper Age: iron, zinc and steel, early power and the Arc Furnace with Immersive Engineering.
- Age of Metal Alloys: the Nether, brass and osmium melted with Create: Metalwork, Mekanism and the MekaSuit, Diesel Generators, the Excavator and Vibranium.
- Pre-Robotic Era: Powah's Energizing Orb and Reactor, Vulpus from the Nether, the Wither, and Mekanism's 3x and 4x ore processing.
- Robotic Era: the End and Enderium, AE2 autocrafting connected to your colony's Warehouse, and the strongest MekaSuit modules.
Huts, research, ores, machines and even dimensions are locked behind your colony's progress, so there is always a clear next goal and room to explore within each age.
Guides built in
- Colony Guide: every MineColonies hut explained, age by age.
- Colony Life: happiness, food, diseases, raids and research.
- Create Automation: from water wheels to a full Create ore factory.
- Gear Progression: your tools and armor from stone to Enderium.
Best enjoyed solo, with team support for multiplayer.
