As of 1.1, gnomes can be spawned from any of their livable structures through wire nodes. They each act as an infinite spawner, and the resulting critter has no drops if killed and cannot be captured in a capture pod. I made this decision to start as it will allow each user to choose just how busy their unique village is. The more nodes you have wired up and the more times you press a button, the busier it will get. This will be friendlier to those with lower end machines while still letting those with higher to really crank the numbers out. It also prevents you from having a fixed number of citizens regardless of village size, so you can spawn in a number that you're personally comfortable with.

As for gnomes and colonies, I will be attempting that for the next update. instead of having a singular tennant to rely on, I plan on creating a custom deed in the form of a bank structure that you can regularly collect rent from directly.

Whelp, bad news everyone. My game drive completely failed yesterday, and all recovery efforts have failed. I'll be getting a replacement in tomorrow, but as it stands all of my data has been lost. Once I have it set back up I'll see what I can do about getting back to work on this mod and others, but it's quite a delay on top of where I already was. Thank you for your patience during this time.

I think this is a pretty neat little mod. Good job =)
btw I hope you can fix and or replace that drive because I like where this mod is going.

I really hope your plans come to fruition, i love these little guys. (>w<)/
They inhabit the sewers of my actual colony, if only my floran residents knew how many tiny people walked around right under their feet. (=w=)/

How do i get these guys to work? in my base,they never spawn. I have several satelites connected to several houses.

Oh,i had to activate them. Derp. Say hello to Gnome city in cyberspace.

guys how do i make the village

You gather gnome balls from existing gnome villages, go to your workbench and craft the individual houses, then plop them down together in an area and bam. It's a gnome village. =D

wacht is the id of the gnome balls?

Gnome farms
They can grow food for you as a thank you☺
Make a gnome greenhouse that is selectable and give you food or a factory that gives you Metals.
