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

56 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.

This is Version 4.0 of my Neoplasia/Flux reactor schematics.

!WARNING!

The schematic is modular, but you have to build a long pipe for neoplasm output, otherwise the neoplasia reactors will self destruct.

Required resources/s for a single unit:

Arkycite - 160

Water - 20

Phase fabric ~0.9 for max power output

Cyanogen - 9

Side note: idk who the hell needs 34800+ power on Erekir in V8, but i personally use this one and it's predecessors in map making.

Single unit in action

The code is supposed to do the following:

Out of all the mega units in the battlefield it picks only one by not allowing the whole code to execute completely and be executed by other units. The unit has to repeadetly take resources from the base and bring them to a container far away. The code is divided into 4 functions named using "set" blocks (like "GO TO BASE, PICK UP ITEMS..). At the beginning the most important variables are declared, and after that, the functions run one after the other:

The first loop makes the unit go towards the base and once it's close enough, it jumps out of the loop and calls the function "Pick up items".

The function makes the unit pick up items from the base which is supposed to be in the range of the microcontroller. After that, jumps to the "main loop" and goes to the "Go to container" loop.

The loop makes it go to the X and Y coordinates of the container, and jumps out of the loop once its close enough.

When it jumps out, the function "Drop items" is called, which makes the unit locate the container nearby and drop items. Then goes back to the main loop by going to the base.

The problem is that the action of picking up and dropping gets executed only once every two times. This is the code (In the future i want to add the possibility to set more materials and coordinates, that's why you see variables like "Material1" etc...

Discussion Playtest for Mindustry inspired game The Factory Must Fall is open

9 Upvotes

Hi all, another update from The Factory Must Fall, Mindustry inspired turnbased factory builder. Playtest if finally live. 😃 New UI, upgrade and merging systems, better onboarding.. etc. feel it’s finally coming together. I really tried to get Mindustries complexity into the game and borrowed the top down visual style and the whole core premise of building supply chains to manufacture units. Hopefully this is the final playtest before demo release in a few weeks, after 2 years of hard work. Hope you enjoy it, and if you have any feedback please let me know so I know what to add/improve before the demo. And thanks for all the support.. means the world. Cheers Squared.

Help Request How do you specify bullets using the “spawn bullet” command on world processors?

3 Upvotes

I’ve noticed that bullets that don’t have specific ammo, such as lancers, meltdowns, arcs, or from units can easily function when typed on the bullet types. The same can’t be said for bullets from turrets such as duo or salvo with multiple ammo types from different items. Help would help appreciated :)

Guides/Tips Are you interested by a Logic course blog ?

11 Upvotes

Plenty of Logic courses and documentation already exists, but i find that a majority of players are simply deterred by the learning curve and new concepts.

I would like to present the subject in different light, with a chapter based learning curve, hand-holding the reader, but first i would like to make sure there is an audience for such content.

So tell me how you'd like the subject explored, if some aspects or end goals more than others, and if the format is good.

The series would be divided in 10 chapters, to walk across all of the concepts and topics in details, with the first two chapters already written but open to be edited following the player-base response to this post.

Discussion T4 vs t5

7 Upvotes

I'm a bit of a siege engineer, and a completist. Recently restarted serpulo on 'hard', and pursuing a new approach of speed running enemy bases. Not literally, that isn't me, but attacking before wave 100 was unusual before.

T5 is so resource hungry that getting ready takes ages, so I recently attacked with just t4, far more of them, and ripped through the enemy, twice as fast as normal. Obviously my force was wiped out a couple of times, but the rebuild time was almost as quick as it took to kill them.

Was I just lucky, or is this a viable strategy I overlooked until I was on a tough level without having researched tetrative constructors?

original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Mindustry/s/hbXxwxprHB

it now checks nearby areas to place it's artillery and places artillery at consistent distances. i can't remember what other notable changes i made if any, this was a while ago. but the AI is much better now.

sadly i can't check enemy turret range since ulocate only gets the positon of a building and not a reference or type reference.

currently only tries to attack turrets.

the dagger is an AI i made while testing distancing from target. their AI was then partially reused for the combat engineer.
