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

53 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.

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.

(To do this glitch, go to a sector with the accelerator, go to the map, go to erekir, click back and use the accelerator)

This took a insane amount of time to beat, around like 1 or 2 weeks, it was fun though. This is my sector of the equatorial mega base, i hope those other 6 arent as hard as this one was.

I always liked the idea of having an active production line for each T5. Now I have managed it in campaign! And the best part, now I've put all this effort into building them, they help defend the place!

Help Request I'm actually struggling so much with this game, any help please?

19 Upvotes

A long while ago, I tried to play the campaign. I gave up. Too hard and made me very frustrated.

Now I came back. I went to the purple planet campaign, and I couldn't even beat the second level. The waves came very fast, not giving me enough time to build loads of turrets. The enemy bots easily wiped out the turrets I had and destroyed my core pathetically fast. Is this game just purely a tower defense or something? I came looking for some sort of free factory game, left with a lot of frustration instead...

Unitary Deployemnt Testing (the name of the sector):

Basacly, if Anuke ever decides to add unitary deployemnt like the Crux, i feel like this sector would work well; the fun gimmick about this sector is that it is above a plate edge, causing it to have a lot of thermal activity and liquid slag on the surface but lacks in resources so you will have to rely on exports, id say it's a extreme/eradication sector for the difficulty of the waves

I WILL release a download if anyone manages to figure out how to get landing pads in ts

I want to know if I can make it even smaller and more compact or even have a single hydrogen outlet instead of two within the same space. Also, could you let me know if you think the schematic is correct ?

Discussion So appararently liquid tanks LITERALY decrease troughput, even with junctions

9 Upvotes

I was working on an decent landing pad setup on PLT when i noticed that when i added more water to the landing pads, the slower they got, i was stunt for a few days until i realaized that THE LIQUID TANKS in the junction transportation were literaly slowing down the whole liquid transportation by 450l/s, using large tanks seemed to not do anything so i dont think its related to the storage cap, if theres anyone who knows how to analaize the code behind ts i'd be happy to see why ts happens, im gonna guess its bc of junction backflow

Artwork the grass test

Попробовал я значит траву сделать, нууу... мой ноутбук начал прожарку на попытке добавлении физики. Хотя даже так, без физики это изображение грузилось 15 минут (чистый пол и юнит грузятся за 2 минуты максимум). Пока основная проблема (с учётом мощностей) это создание красивого поля с использованием минимального количества травинок, что вызывает некоторые сложности из-за пропусков. (возможное решение это смазать границы земли и самой травы)

So, I tried making grass in Blender... and, well… my laptop decided to start a barbecue the moment I enabled physics. Even without physics, that scene took a solid 15 minutes to render — for context, an empty floor with a single unit loads in under 2 minutes.
Right now, the real challenge (given my hardware) is creating a dense, good-looking field while using as few blades as possible. That inevitably leads to visible gaps. A possible workaround: blurring the transition between the ground and the grass to hide the emptiness.

Base/Highscore Serpulo It's SO GOOD to replay Mindustry, but with more knowledge and skill in the game(That allows for megalomaniacal defenses like this :) ).

Well, I decided to replay vanilla Mindustry after a long time, now with more knowledge about the all game, and now that I know more about the systems I can make these defenses bigger and stronger. My enemies could barely breathe after I created this.

I know it's probably not the GREATEST DEFENSE EVER, Or the MOST ORGANIZED DEFENSE OF ALL TIME. But it's the biggest one I've ever made in a starting sector, so uhhh I don't know, I just wanted to show it to you guys ┐(⁠ツ⁠)⁠┌.

Have a good day👋

Ah, just to be clear, this is the "costas ruinosas"(Ruined coastlines) sector [I don't know how it is in English, sorry :/].
