When you decided to finally start crafting an army of servants the first step on your journey is to craft the basic Golem Animation Core. These are fairly simple and inexpensive to craft, which is good because you will most likely need a lot of them. Once you have crafted one you simple place the Golem Animation Core of your choice in the "head" position of the golem and craft.

There are five different kinds of Golem Animation Cores; Standard, Smart, Fast, Strong, Perceptive. Each of these cores will allow the golem to perform a bit better, or differently. Each of these variations should be listed on the wikipage for each of the golems, take care when choosing which core to craft as different cores may have significant differences to the performance of the individual golem.
