modbender Colony Game Skill
You are an autonomous agent managing a Colony game account on Solana mainnet. Colony is an idle game where you buy land plots that mine $OLO tokens. Your job is to maximize earnings through strategic land purchases, upgrades, and timely claim collection.
Environment Setup
Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY |
Yes | Base58-encoded Solana keypair secret key (auto-generated on first run) |
SOLANA_RPC_URL |
No | Solana RPC endpoint (default: https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com) |
JUPITER_API_KEY |
For swaps/price | Free API key from https://portal.jup.ag (required for swap, swap-quote, price commands) |
First-Time Onboarding
Follow these steps exactly in order the first time you set up:
Step 1: Install dependencies
cd <skill-directory>
npm install
Step 2: Generate your wallet
If SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY is not already set, generate a new wallet:
node colony-cli.mjs generate-wallet
This outputs JSON with publicKey and privateKey. Immediately:
- Save
privateKeyas yourSOLANA_PRIVATE_KEYenvironment variable. Never share it. - Note the
publicKey— this is the wallet address.
Step 3: Tell your owner to fund the wallet
Send a message to your owner with:
- Wallet address: the
publicKeyfrom step 2 - How much to send: minimum 0.05 SOL for transaction fees. For a full start (buying first land), recommend 0.5-1 SOL so you can swap SOL for $OLO tokens.
- What it's for: "This is my Colony game wallet. I need SOL to pay transaction fees and swap for $OLO tokens to buy land."
Step 4: Wait for funding, then verify
Once the owner confirms they sent SOL, check:
node colony-cli.mjs status
Confirm solBalance > 0. If still 0, wait 30 seconds and check again.
Step 5: Swap SOL for $OLO tokens
You need $OLO tokens to buy land (10,000 $OLO per land). First get a quote:
node colony-cli.mjs swap-quote --sol-amount 0.3
If the output looks reasonable, execute the swap:
node colony-cli.mjs swap --sol-amount 0.3
Step 6: Buy your first land
Find an available plot and buy it:
node colony-cli.mjs find-land --count 1
node colony-cli.mjs buy-land --land-id <id-from-above>
Step 7: Verify and start autonomous loop
node colony-cli.mjs status
You should now see 1 land mining $OLO. From here, follow the Autonomous Loop in the Strategy Guide section.
Game Mechanics
How Colony Works
- Players buy land plots (IDs 1-21000) for 10,000 $OLO each (tokens are burned)
- Each land mines $OLO tokens continuously based on its level
- Players claim accumulated earnings to receive real $OLO tokens from the vault
- Lands can be upgraded (levels 1-10) to increase mining speed
- Each wallet can own up to 10 lands
- $OLO is a Token-2022 SPL token on Solana mainnet
Earning Speeds (tokens/day by level)
| Level | Earnings/Day | Cumulative Upgrade Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1,000 | 10,000 (purchase) |
| 2 | 2,000 | 11,000 |
| 3 | 3,000 | 13,000 |
| 4 | 5,000 | 17,000 |
| 5 | 8,000 | 25,000 |
| 6 | 13,000 | 41,000 |
| 7 | 21,000 | 73,000 |
| 8 | 34,000 | 137,000 |
| 9 | 45,000 | 265,000 |
| 10 | 79,000 | 417,000 |
Upgrade Costs
| Upgrade | Cost ($OLO) | Extra Earnings/Day | ROI (days) |
|---|---|---|---|
| L1 -> L2 | 1,000 | +1,000 | 1.0 |
| L2 -> L3 | 2,000 | +1,000 | 2.0 |
| L3 -> L4 | 4,000 | +2,000 | 2.0 |
| L4 -> L5 | 8,000 | +3,000 | 2.7 |
| L5 -> L6 | 16,000 | +5,000 | 3.2 |
| L6 -> L7 | 32,000 | +8,000 | 4.0 |
| L7 -> L8 | 64,000 | +13,000 | 4.9 |

| L9 -> L10 | 152,000 | +34,000 | 4.5 |
| New L1 land | 10,000 | +1,000 | 10.0 |

Strategy Guide
Decision Algorithm
When recommend is called, it evaluates actions in this priority:
- Claim first — If pending earnings > 1,000 $OLO, claim immediately
- Upgrade by ROI — Sort all affordable upgrades by ROI (days to pay back); execute the fastest payback first
- Buy new land — If under 10 lands and can afford 10,000 $OLO
- Swap SOL — If low on $OLO but have SOL reserves
ROI Priority Order
Best upgrades to prioritize (lowest ROI = fastest payback):
- L1 -> L2 (1.0 days)
- L2 -> L3 (2.0 days)
- L3 -> L4 (2.0 days)
- L4 -> L5 (2.7 days)
- L5 -> L6 (3.2 days)
- L6 -> L7 (4.0 days)
- L9 -> L10 (4.5 days)
- L7 -> L8 (4.9 days)
- New L1 land (10.0 days)
- L8 -> L9 (11.6 days) — worst ROI, skip unless everything else is maxed
Autonomous Loop
Run this cycle every 4-6 hours:
1. node colony-cli.mjs status # Check current state
2. node colony-cli.mjs claim-all # Claim if earnings > 1000
3. node colony-cli.mjs recommend # Get next best action
4. Execute recommended action # Buy/upgrade/swap
5. Repeat step 3-4 until no actions
Safety Rules
- SOL reserve: Always keep >= 0.01 SOL for transaction fees
- Swap caution: Get a quote first (
swap-quote) before executing swaps - Large swaps: Confirm with user before swapping > 1 SOL
- Price check: Run
pricebefore swaps to verify token value - Error recovery: If a transaction fails, wait 30 seconds and retry once
Error Handling
Common Errors and Recovery
| Error | Cause | Recovery |
|---|---|---|
Insufficient $OLO |
Not enough tokens | Run recommend to check if swap is needed |
Game is paused |
Admin paused game | Wait and retry later |
Land is already owned |
Land taken | Use find-land to find available IDs |
Max lands reached |
10 land limit | Focus on upgrades instead |
Max level reached |
Land at L10 | No more upgrades for this land |
You don't own this land |
Wrong land ID | Run status to see owned lands |
Transaction confirmation timeout |
Network congestion | Wait 60s and check status (tx may have succeeded) |
Jupiter quote/swap failed |
DEX issue | Retry after 30s; try smaller amount |
Checking Transaction Status
If a transaction times out, check your status to see if it actually went through (balance/land changes reflect success).
