Frequently asked questions

How do I even start with this mod, I just installed it?
Craft a Golem Workbench first — it's the core block where you assemble golems from modular parts. Place it down, open it, and build a basic golem body before worrying about upgrades or weapons.
What parts do I need to build a golem?
You combine modular parts at the Golem Workbench to form a golem body, then give it a head, arms, and legs depending on the golem type you want. Start with a simple Humanoid or Metal Golem before trying specialized builds like the Dog Golem or Beacon Golem.
How do upgrade slots work?
Golems have a limited number of upgrade slots, and you expand them using the Add 1 Upgrade Slot or Add 100 Upgrade Slots items. Each upgrade you install — like Diamond Upgrade, Emerald Upgrade, or Fire Immune Upgrade — occupies a slot, so plan which ones matter most for your golem's role.
What do config cards actually do?
Config Cards come in many colors and let you preset behaviors or settings for your golems, which you then apply with the Command Wand. Use different colors to keep separate configurations for different golems or tasks instead of redoing settings each time.
How do I make my golem attack things?
Equip your golem with a golem weapon like a Golem Sword, Golem Axe, or Golem Spear, then use the Hostile Wand to set it to target hostile mobs. The Command Wand handles general orders, while the Hostile Wand is specifically for aggression settings.
My golem just stands there doing nothing
Check that you've actually given it a task via the Command Wand or Hostile Wand — a freshly built golem has no orders by default. Also confirm it has the right upgrades and equipment for the job, since an unarmed golem won't fight effectively.
How do I get a beacon golem / what is a beacon laser?
Beacon Golems use the Beacon Cannon and Beacon Boots to fire Beacon Lasers at targets. You'll need to build the golem specifically for this role and equip the beacon gear — it's a ranged build, not a melee one.
Can I put armor on my golem?
Yes — golem armor sets like Barbaric Vanguard (Helmet, Chestplate, Shinguard, Boots) and Beacon Boots can be equipped on golems. Equip them the same way you'd equip weapons, and match the armor to the golem's role for best results.
What's the difference between the command wand and hostile wand?
The Command Wand issues general orders and applies Config Card settings to your golems. The Hostile Wand is specifically for toggling hostile-targeting behavior, so use it when you want a golem to fight rather than just follow or guard.
Does this mod work with other mods / will it lag my game?
Modular Golems is generally compatible with other golem and automation mods, but many active golems with complex upgrades can add up on performance. If you notice lag, reduce the number of simultaneously active golems or simplify their upgrade loadouts.
