About this game

MULE 0.61 is an independent PC interpretation of M.U.L.E. Its documentation labels it an alpha release and notes differences from the original. The colony develops over 12, 18 or 24 months, with land selection, events, personal activity, production and auctions forming each turn.

Claim a highlighted plot with your fire key. During the activity phase, buy a mule at the store, outfit it for a resource and take it to a plot. Stand precisely on the plot’s house before placing it, or the mule can escape. Match production to terrain rather than assigning every plot the same job.

Control Configuration shows keyboard layout one using the arrows and Enter as its fire/select key. Check the other layouts before multiplayer play. Auctions let buyers and sellers move their prices toward each other. The manual explicitly provides no save/load feature.
