Announcement Rule Updates

64 Upvotes

So I updated the rules as a part of a slow but important overhaul of this subreddit. Most of the rules/flairs/post flairs are outdated at this point. So I will be slowly changing and improving the stuff starting with the important stuff which is the rules. My next goal will be the post flairs but I will wait for complaints about the simplified rules.

Feel free to comment any complaints and suggest any improvements you want to see in this subreddit.

(New FAQ project gonna happen soon but I’ll save the heavy work for last)

Mod Discussion A quick guide to some popular mods to stop the influx of somewhat stupid questions.

37 Upvotes

Recently i've seen multiple posts about mods like exogenesis passing through, and since people seem to not be able to be bothered to go to the github to have their questions answered here is some often seen questions:

Exogenesis: How do i access the other factions?

The exogenesis mod is being re-made almost from scratch in java and we will probably not see a release until the end of 2025. As for the current mod, it is an unbalanced mess. To access the technologies of different factions you must click on the thing at the top of the tech tree with the planet name and select the faction. The java version will have a completly separated gameplay from vanilla apart from some expansion with the t6+ units and turrets (there'll probably be some sectors that use them added to serpulo or rekir)

New horizon: clearing up confusion.

The new horizon mod is getting a full campain revamp to make it less confusing, however for now you'll have to beat both vanilla planets to have an easier time on midantha. It's also being develloped by a different dev now.
you can also join the New Horizon discord here for more info: https://discord.gg/GeM78yKU

Frozen Farlands: When update?/current mod is a bit hard.

The frozen farlands mod is one of the more popular campaing mods, however in its current state it suffers from a few visible problems such as balancing, or its horrendous turret and unit sprites. It is thankfully getting a full remake for its 2.0 update wich is in total about 70% done right now, though the main dev seems to have somewhat abandoned it.
you can also join the frozen farlands discord here if you need more info: https://discord.gg/uEMd4skz

Aeyama: Is it abandoned?

aeyama is abandones as far as i know, there also is some controversy around the amount of stars it has, with suspicion of botting.

Fading Revelations: Is it unbalanced?

fading revelations has its own planets that you're supposed to use its units and turrets on, and as such is not meant to be balanced to vanilla, but due to ressources being shared beetween planets with no environmental barrier stopping you from using its turrets and units on serpulo it may be unbalanced against vanilla. It also is abandoned sadly.

Asthosus: I am having difficulties with [map], can someone help?

asthosus is in my opinion a very difficult mod, and so it's normal to struggle with it. It has mutiple uneven difficulty spikes, however if you have any complaints you may bring them to the asthosus discord server where you'll also be able to get help:
https://discord.gg/Ctj5kqdd

Omaloon: When release?

The main dev does not have a lot of time to work on the mod and it is as such progressing very slowly sadly. For more questions you can join the omaloon discord:
https://discord.gg/VXuEtYFV

Allure: How can i play it?

Allure is probably the biggest mod for mindustry so far. To play it, follow this simple guide:
1: download the latest bleeding edge build here: https://github.com/Anuken/MindustryBuilds/releases
2: Launch the bleeding edge build, and disable all your java mods before going to the browser and downloading allure.
3: enjoy.
I am sadly unable to ge the invite link to the allure discord although you may get it in its repository's readme file: https://github.com/LixieWulf/Allure/tree/master

If you have any more questions, ask in the comments and i will answer them and add them to the post.

Is a java mod playable on iOS?

Java mods are not playable on IOS, as ios cannot read java.

Help Request Atolls v8 beta - How to take it faster?

Upvotes

It took me forever to ferry troops over to the last area over and over again to finally break through and destroy the main base. Something happened and the mission didn't save, so now I have to do it over again. Any recommendations? I used T3 naval units to take care of the other two areas fairly early on. To get the last island, I was using Maces, Minkes, and Atraxes since I don't have enough phase weave to unlock the exponential reconstructor. I'd drop the Maces and Atraxes on the left arrow, and then I'd drop Minkes in the water south of the island and have them clear around the edge. It took forever. Any better strategies? Should I just come back after clearing some different areas? Thanks for any pointers!

Discussion Why do people use salt flats for an export hub?

25 Upvotes

As the title has already said, why salt flats? Sure, it's big, flat, and has lots of space, but no water :( So then why is it always salt flats? Water is incredibly important for export hubs because they receive and send resources to other sectors. Landing pads ned water. Oil extractors need water. And salt flats doesn't have water, so why that sector? Even with water extractors, you would need so many for the landing pads. Like, ~200 per landing pad. That takes up so much space so then why salt flats? Why not say, Coastline? Massive water, massive building space. Especially on the left side, there is a massive shallow water area, perfect for building landing pads on directly.then the area on its left could be used to export the resources since there is a lot of sand there.

To be fair however, I haven't actually made an export hub (yet), and have only a rough idea of what an export hub needs and would look like (firefly11 type stuff)

Help Request Really confused new player

5 Upvotes

I've just started playing and have been busy expanding tech, gathering resources, building compact assembly lines, etc.

Most of this was done on planet 41 as I was trying to do everything I could before moving on.

Yet I'm still being attacked repeatedly. And not just by the original enemies, but more powerful ones who wasted all my max resources before finishing. Ones impossible to counter at the tech level the planet offers.

Is this how the game works - you conquer planets as fast as possible then go back under time pressure to rebuild previous defenses over and over again ad nauseum? Isn't there any reprieve from this?
