What is the max number of citizens in MineColonies?
The maximum number of citizens in MineColonies is capped at 50, and despite researching all the upgrades, this limit remains in place. To increase the number of citizens, players must create enough space for their initial four citizens and then have two options for their colony to grow: having a free bed in the colony or recruiting travelers at the Tavern.
Understanding Citizen Growth and Limits
To expand the colony, players can either have a free bed available or make space for a new citizen and recruit them through the Tavern by giving travelers the items they request. However, the citizen saturation system, which ranges from 0 to 20, plays a crucial role in the well-being and productivity of citizens. If the saturation level drops to 0, citizens will stop working, won’t level up, and will regularly request food, also experiencing the slowness effect. On the other hand, a saturation level of 20 allows for double healing speed.
