COLONY is a Rust game, built with Bevy, that plays like any other colony simulator game. The current version is very basic, there are basic food items that your units can consume, your units have basic stats like hunger, and there is some basic map generation.

What are the various systems?

• "Seasons" represents the movement of time, and causes plants to grow and die.
• "Movetoward" is an A* algorithm that lets objects move in the most direct path, avoiding obstacles along the way.
• Spacebar will pause the game
• Escape will close the game
• Some of the menus don't work yet, but you can farm berries and trees, and a unit will go plant these
• Zones, walls, building, and crafting are not yet implemented
• The red box in the current version is meant to be a monster simulator, in the future there can be monsters like wild dogs that attack
• You can give Orders > Chop to chop down trees
• Units automatically sleep when they're tired.

1. Improve the UI box when you click one of your units, displaying their personality, attributes, and health
2. (Easy) Implementing more variety in already-implemented systems: foods, trees, and plants.
3. Biomes should exist in patches across a larger map. Biomes could also represent areas, like a graveyard type area could be a "Biome".
4. Implement construction skills.
5. Add more kinds of objects
6. Better organize tileset file.
7. Implement weapons/equipment/inventory.
8. Giving orders to units.
9. Implement the effects of more personality traits.

Generally cargo build and then cargo run works fine on Windows 11 and Ubuntu.
