Hirelings
Hire villagers as your crew. Give them jobs, gear and homes, mark work areas, and watch them farm, mine, build, craft and trade. Run a company with wages, a bank, market stalls, guard dogs and rivals who can poach your best workers.
Utility & QoL
Protection Totem
- Place it in one of your company's Builders Wand areas and give it one Gem Cluster for every 64 x 64 blocks of the area, rounded up (the cluster in its recipe counts as the first). When it has them all it builds itself up (100 ticks of sparks) and guards the whole area, bedrock to sky: other companies' hirelings are always kept out, other companies' players only when the companies are feuding. Checked twice a second. Breaking it gives back the clusters.
