I uploaded the entire mods folder just in case anyone wants to test it. It seems to work fine but I haven't tested every possible combination. to unlock the building either tame a monkey or use the console to execute the script "unlockbuilding 50;" minus the quotes of course.

Edit: While I'm on the topic of having monkeys do things for you, I had the idea of a monkey explorer that "travels" to other islands and gathers materials based on what you give him.
My initial plan is for it to look like the docks, with an interface that gives you three options:
Hire a monkey(up to 4) which calls a tamed monkey from somewhere on the island to it.
Give supplies, which opens a screen that allows you to give supplies in the form of food, water, bananas and tools.
Set sail! This option "sends the monkeys to another island" for a certain amount of time, up to a week based on how much food and water they brought. For example, 1 bread and water could last 1 monkey for a day. The monkeys will consume up to 3 bananas per day to improve the chances of finding an item by up to 50 percent. There will be 20 chances of finding something per day plus 30 for each monkey past the first. The base chance of finding something will be 15% divided into equal chances for hunting, gathering, and logging. The aforementioned bananas increase the chance by 10%, 30% or 50% based on how many they have, while tools multiply the chance by 2 for iron and 3 for steel. The possible tools will be axes, machetes, and scythes. Additional items will provide other effects. Having 2 flint per monkey will result in their returning cooked food, firearms and health potions reduce the chance that a monkey will be lost. gold nuggets allow them to "trade" for items, giving them a chance to find things 2 times per nugget, and maps shorten the travel time effectively giving them another day to search.
Does anyone have ideas about this design? It will undoubtedly be bigger than the monkey mine but I think it will add a lot to the later game when your basic survival needs are met and you are considering starting over.
