So, my conclusion about mines in mine caves, is that it's a bad idea. You villagers don't bother existing when you're out of the cave. Time doesn't work properly when you're in the cave (for example, the miner never bothers going to sleep)
Also, the mine in the gold mine doesn't seem to produce any gold, or to produce more iron than any other mine.
Next stop is chaos region. It probably wouldn't help, though. Gotta try to set some high-level unit to mine too. Like the Ruck I took on a level-grinding adventure or Little and Nickey.
T, of course. It was in the How to play section. Though, I expected "dismantle" to discard the animal, not to kill it. Lmao.
"Dismantle" is a fancy word for "butcher". You may have confused it with "dismiss".
They need to be in range of a bed, during the day, and while it's outside.
Unless you specifically move them and their territory inside a house and then take away their ability to leave enter/leave houses.
...The villager A.I. is honestly very stupid...
Besides standard beds, those leaf tents you can hand-craft work too.
Ironically, Rucks are how you get your companions to carry more stuff.
Carry a Ruck in your inventory, take it to the fuzzy merchant in the top left forest, and trade them for "pocket"
Talk to a companion and right-click the pocket. This will permanently increase their carry space by 1, up to 50 slots.
Basic Ruck is also a solid beast of burden, with 40 slots for carrying loot, and an ability to automatically take look from enemies. (which unfortunately doesn't work on animals such as dog guardians)
The only problem is, I now need to find a home for all that loot. Or use Rucks as chests, which is silly.
How does one craft a rainbow chest? Is there one more crafting bench I haven't found?
