🧩 Tables Obtention & In-Game Wiki

The core evolution of your empire revolves around three major workstations: the Army Table, the Infirmary Table, and the Dashboard Table.

How to get them: Craft a CraftStation block using iron and logs, then link a citizen to it. Bring the required resources and currency to your Craftsman NPC, and he will build your specialized tables!

💰 Centralized Economy & Resource Crates

Managing your civilization requires strict logistics. Resources are automatically tracked and stored into four main strategic categories:

• 📦 Minerals: Used for industrial growth, heavy weapons, and military equipment.
• 🌿 Organic: Essential for feeding your citizens, funding healthcare, and medical treatments.
• 🏗️ Construction: Required to build infrastructure, fortify walls, and expand towns.
• ⚙️ Technological: Needed for upgrading advanced tables and training elite Knight classes.

📦 Resource Crates: Specialized storage blocks that link directly to your colony treasury. Each crate holds up to 1,000 points of its specific resource type.

🪙 Banking & Coin Exchanges: Your colony runs on actual currency (Copper, Iron, and Gold coins). Trade your emeralds with the Banker NPC at the Bank to fund your Treasury.

✨ New Economic Features:

• Convert All Button: A brand new button allows you to instantly convert your massive pile of resources into treasury coins.
• Diamond Conversion: You can now exchange high-value Diamonds directly into colony coins through the Banker!
• Banker Range Fix: Increased the Banker's detection radius so the withdrawal buttons always display correctly for colony leaders.

⚔️ Advanced Military Logic & Regiments

Defend your borders and showcase your supremacy with a heavily reworked tactical combat system!

🎖️ Military Classes & Ranks:

• Soldier: Cheap, basic baseline unit. Weak without custom gear but perfect for early defense.
• Archer & Arbalestier: Ranged defenses. Handing a bow or crossbow to a standard soldier upgrades them for free. (Ranged AI has been buffed to target and shoot enemies from a much longer distance!)
• Assassin: Extremely fast and deals lethal damage, but highly vulnerable with only 15 HP. Use tactically!
• Knight: Well-balanced elite units that earn combat XP. Level them up by interacting with them using Paper to permanently boost their stats.
• Tank: Massive health pools, slow movement, built to hold choke points and absorb damage.
• Royal Guard: Elite multi-role protectors with incredibly high stats, trained via the Barracks Trainer NPC.
• General: The supreme commander. Only ONE General is allowed per colony. He provides passive Strength and Resistance buffs to all surrounding troops. Protect him at all costs!

🛠️ New Army Mechanics & Balancing:

• Aggressive Combat AI: Soldiers and Knights are now highly proactive! They will take the immediate initiative to target and attack enemy mobs entering the territory without waiting around.
• Patrol & Hold Guard: Knights will automatically engage hostile mobs while on a designated patrol path or when ordered to stand guard.
• Guard Posts: Use the Command Sword (Sneak + Click on a block) to set active guard posts for your military squads.
• Maintenance, Fatigue & Rebellion: Soldiers now require regular salaries deducted from the colony funds and ample food in Food Supply Boxes. If you run out of money or food, your troops will face famine, tire out, and refuse to move or fight!
• Visual Uniforms: Every military class now features unique, distinct visual textures and class-specific uniforms.

👑 Government, Ranks & Admin Tools

Take full political control over who manages your empire with advanced administrative systems:

• 👑 Rank & Permission System: Mayors can now officially create, manage, and assign member ranks within the colony. Customize who has permission to open specific user interfaces, manage funds, or alter settings!
• 🛠️ Admin UI Override: Access the custom Admin UI menu easily by using the Jerry's Colonies Admin Tool (Shift + Attack/Break a block) to instantly moderate advanced colony settings.
• ⚙️ Population Cap Limits: Admins can now manually adjust custom citizen and army population caps relative to the current evolution stage of the settlement. (Patched a bug where players could bypass caps using wild citizens).
• 🗺️ Free View Mode: Monitor your city layouts with a dedicated "Free View" overview camera button inside the Dashboard Table.
• 🚩 Flag Replacement: Need a city layout redesign? You can now safely pickup and replace the main City Flag anywhere within your owned territory limits without breaking town progress.

🧪 Diseases & Medical Epidemics

Surviving isn't just about fighting monsters; you must protect your citizens from deadly outbreaks. Each day brings a 30% chance of an infection spreading. Use the Infirmary Table in your Hospital to cure your people using money and Organic points.

• 🦠 Flu Epidemic: Single citizen suffers from Slowness II. Low risk, non-contagious.
• 🦠 Leprosy: Strikes 3 citizens at once, inflicting a long-lasting Weakness I effect (20 minutes).
• 🦠 Tuberculosis: Impacts citizen production speeds. Highly contagious; infected workers have a 12% chance to spread it to anyone within a 4-block radius.
• 🦠 Dysentery: (Balanced!) Inflicts Hunger II and drains health down to 1 HP. Starts with 4 citizens but spreads fast, heavily weakening your worker pool if left untreated.
• 🦠 Typhus: Inflicts Weakness II on 2 citizens. 18% spread rate. Short duration (1m30s), but highly destructive if it catches your military regiments during a war.
• ☠️ Black Plague: The ultimate threat. Highly contagious, inflicts heavy Weakness II and Slowness II for 4 minutes, and features a lethal 6% mortality rate per citizen. Rush to your Infirmary Table immediately!

🏛️ Blueprints & Custom Buildings

Expand your borders with functional schematic structures:

• 🛡️ Military: Fortified Walls, Interactive Gates, Defense Towers, and the Barracks (houses the Trainer NPC used to assign classes like Royal Guards or Generals).
• 🏛️ Civic & Logistics:
  • Town Hall: The administrative center hosting the Dashboard Table for full economic stats.
  • Church: Residence of the Priest NPC. He grants players extra temporary health bars and casts a village-wide aura removing hunger and granting Haste.
  • Hospital: Centralized hub containing the Infirmary Table to instantly cure wide-scale plagues in a single action.
  • Warehouse: Provides massive automated item containers to stock your resource points.
• ⚒️ Economy: The Forge and the Bank (houses the Banker NPC for treasury operations).
