Minions are automated workers you place on your island. Each one generates a specific resource over time, even while you are offline. There are 33 types across 7 families, upgradeable to Tier 11.
In short
Place minions on your island to passively generate resources. 33 types, 7 families, Tier 1 through 11. Craft them on the 5x5 workbench (unlocks at evolution phase 5), place them, and collect the output. Offline production runs at 1/8 speed.
How minions work
Place a minion on your island and it produces its assigned resource automatically. Output depends on the minion's tier, rate multiplier, fuel, perk allocation, and synergy with other minions.Each item produced earns 1 XP toward the minion's level, which unlocks perk points for further customization.

Crafted vs crate minions
Minions obtained from crates produce at 50% efficiency. Only workbench-crafted minions run at full 100% output.
