Back in my day, mindustry didn't have thorium (we had uranium), neither did we have units to build, nor did we have a campaign. It was literally just a map with only turrets, and without any smooth graphics, being the worst pixelated graphics in all of reality. It's nice to see this game has gotten far far, far better than it used to be.
I remember playing v5 and just fooling around on a map where enemies wouldn’t come out at all, I learned how to use the mechanics well but v6 came. And then I discovered mindustry on UA-cam. I only seriously started playing by the end of v6 and through early v7 betas. But you, sir are a true veteran, thanks for sticking around the mindustry community through all this time.
133 actually has a lot of sand, it’s just you know, under the enemy base. Once you capture the sector though it’s actually one of the best early game hub sectors
You know you buy too many games when you look at a game and think it looks cools, only to look in Steam and realize you already bought it (probably during a Steam sale).
Fun fact, in update 5 the core actually backed up if you sent materials into it and it was full. It was changed in update 6 because it made sending mixed belts of resources into the core impossible, because one resource filling up would stop the others on the belt from going in. You can still change it back to the previous setting in a menu, but I've never felt the need to when you can use overflow gates like you described.
The burning of excess materials serve another purpose - it will make sure the sector keeps producing materials when you are in another sector, since the sector production is based on the average flux of items into the core. If items no longer flow into the core since the core is full, your production will be judged as "low" and your sector won't produce as much when you're somewhere else.
and yet they are still a double edged sword. a law of the universe is that any code more complex than a single function will be impossible to debug and understand later. and on servers, processors can range from making attrax huddle around a turret for no reason to Almighty Fortress Creep
Fun fact. Mindustry is also completely open source which means you can do anything you want to the game images which are distributed under open source license so it’s completely free.
The addition of armor belts have made clogs less of an issue for those who know how to use them. Still the game should be more clear as to their primary use. Just having more hp isnt really a good reason to use a belt, but stopping side input and being able to put routers next to them safely is beyond worth the extra cost
9:10 Usually the time problem is solved just by pausing the game because you can start buildings while it is paused so when you unpause you will automatically build what you wanted to, this way you have time to think. If you are playing online you have more people so it balances itself.
I really appreciate when UA-camrs who have good humor and are relatable cover small games like this one. It really makes me smile seeing someone else begin enjoying a game I take great interest in as well. You earned a like and a sub from me!
I like how much the launch pad mechanics is hyped up in this video by the end, but omitting the fact that it's actually removed entirely for the ORANGE planet is what had me cackling.
As said in video and by the dev, erekir was designed as a new, smoother, balanced approach to ministry and as badass as rocket accelerated resource transfers are, they are incredibly broken. They work only because of sheer number of sectors on serpulo.
@@kaden-sd6vb build entirely new infrastructure. Orange™ is not only about cheesing the enemy's base, but also about providing all the needed resources in (usually) quite limited amount of space bringing the logistical challenge to it's absolute.
Some tips for surviving more often: - have water turrets near anything flammable. This includes pyratite/blast production, big coal mines, shenanigans with liquid slag and your frontlines - water is also very useful for boosting mines; a blast drill with water can run at ~10 items/s, and you can get that amount up to 25 items/s with overdrive (compare to 0.5 from the basic drill) - have at least two tiles of plastanium walls in your defenses. The laser enemies will otherwise tear through your defenses - the status effects applied on enemies can be very strong (liquid slag gives fire, oil gives tarred which increases fire damage, cryofluid makes enemies slower and more vulnerable to blast damage, etc.) - higher tiered turrets are, unsurprisingly, much more ammo efficient - if you have the brainpower for it, then logic processors can allow for some overpowered designs, like Foreshadows that automatically choose to ignore weaker targets based on how much surge alloy is in storage. There are blueprints from other people that have this figured out already for you, too
From my experience, oil (tarred) don't really increase fire damage. Tarred is quite complicated. If you burn a tarred units it barely do any effect. If you apply tarred on a burning units, it will extent burning duration, turn melting to burning, do small damage, but tarred effect won't stay. It will deal damage and extend fire duration every time you try to apply tarred. This actually oil tsunami to kill a burning T5 pretty dang quick since tsunami hit 40 times/sec. So it's kinda the reverse compare to realife. In realife you put the tar on your enemy first, then burn them. In Mindustry you put enemy on fire first then tar. I don't really recommend this combo since it can also set your base on fire.
Very good explanation for a very good game. As someone with a thousand hours, 25+ Serpulo campaign runs, 4 Erekir campaign runs, several challenge runs, and general competence at PvP and schematic design, I applaud. Good job!
You have less than 1000 subs!? The editing, script writing, and overall structuring of your videos honestly had me convinced that you would have at the very least half a million subscribers. Keep up the fantastic work and I'm sure you'll gain the recognition you deserve.
No gigapede! That's lodged in my nightmares now. They don't care where your item comes from or where it's going. Thanks got me rolling don't know why that's so funny!
my mom always told me to not accept candy from strangers, sadly i forgot that when i give mindustry a try, and oh boy it wasn't just a normal candie, it was especial (in a good way).

It has been brought to my attention that this video did not upload in 480p or 240P resolutions. Quite distraught I reached out to some other youtubers and apparently this issue has been plaguing small channels since early December 2022.

If you can watch it at 720p60fps I highly recommend it, since 360p butchers it with compression. Cheers.

anybody interested in joining a pvp clan, we can help you learn the game faster, besides pvp is more fun than you think. campaign is a child's toy by comparison.
Fun fact: you can create items out of your ass using launchpads - choose a sector where there is noting you need, send in bunch off stuff you want to dupe, load them into vaults, then release all of them at once into as many launchpads as that sector can power. After a first few launches, exit the sector, check the info from planet view. If it's displaying solid amount of resources being exported, good. DON'T GO BACK IN! The game will think that in this unloaded sector there must be a decent factory for all of the exports, even though it was just some resources sent all at once. This method can provide 1 sector of your choosing with quite a lot of resources.
found this game two or three years back and have LOVED it. I still kinda suck, but to say I didn't have a lot of fun playing would be lying. Great game, very great game
after watching this mans video i can safely say it made my brain incredibly smooth very recommend and also underrated youtuber and needs more attention
I am pro mindustry player so here is some tips: If you somehow make a contraption that works; always make it a schematic for you to build it again without trying to remember it, You need to, also make a narrow gap on your wall where enemies get tricked to go into so they will not find a different way to go in your base and for you to concentrate you turrets in that are(Note this only is applicable on places that have a large enough area to fit a gap). You need to replace you copper and lead mines with monos(the mining drone) cause it gives you more space to build more better factories and more unit factories.
I take notes on everything that works in order to remember it along with schematics because schematics alone often get too complicated without an explanation
Final tip: NEVER, EVER, EVER use laser drills the moment you can get airblasts to mine thorium. (The most infuriating thing I saw in the video is "laser drills mining sand"...) By the way, if you see the weird changing-speed conveyors, it's an overdrive projector/dome (basically more overkill on turrets and machines, overdrive dome boosts speed by 2.5x and even ramps power production)
You should make sure your core is full(including coal) until you discover launch pads And you should use junctions until you discover plated conveyors which don't accept from sides Sadly you are stuck with routers until you find green belts And schematics are like cheat codes but you still pay for the resources but minus the time you spend while building it
For the clogging you can just pick up the items from the conveyors unless you use complex schematics that you don't know how it works. It's almost impossible to separate contaminated fluids.
Unfortunately, this is more of a review channel, so unless there is a major update or change in the game, it is unlikely that there will be more Mindustry content. But there will be other stuff, so stick around.
Ive been playing minedustry since 2019 and i can say the game is really accessable you can play it on mobile and oh boy the mental damage you'd get on mobile would double.
Definitely the video which got me back intot he game after 2yrs. I'll never forget the days I used to play with my 2 freinds before they unfortunately dies due to covid in 2022❤ This game sent me so much memories and this video got me back onto the game again. Thanks for this wonderful video 😊
im one year late, i dont care, its a well established idea on serpulo (yellow boi planet since erekir dont have launch pads) commonly called the export hub
Few times have I been so solidly sold on a game as this! I chuckled, I winced, I basked in the glory of that spaghet... I want this! Damn and bless you equally for infecting me with this game
Fun fact. I know mindustry before factorio and yet i played factorio more, soo yes Mindustry is the catcher and factorio is the real drug. Btw there is a mod on mindustry to put factorio textures on the game, but idk if It has been uptdated to recente versions, i leave playing mindustry in 2 years beacuse i started playing favtorio
Great video! I've never been a big RTS/TD/Warehouse Sim kinda guy over the years, which has never been out of outright dislike for these types of games but moreso because they typically just stay off my radar for whatever reason. Then just a few months ago when looking for a game to play on my little laptop I came across Mindustry, so I figured what the hell! Why not try it out! Now, here I am, a shadow of my former self. I rarely eat these days, and sleep is a luxury I can no longer indulge. I haven't been shopping in many weeks now. Even trips to the kitchen to refill my glass of water was severely cutting into my overall productivity, so as a resourceful compromise I just brought in the ol' garden hose from outside which now sits beside me at all times. The fact is, Mindustry should not be classified as being a video game. It is far more accurately labeled as a schedule 1 narcotic and everyone must understand this. Once you experience the concentrated thrills it can offer you will keep returning to it in pursuit of the overall feeling it provides.... But OH what a feeling it is indeed!! Totally worth it, 10/10 game capable of taking your fun little gaming hobby and turning into an addiction that is all consuming. The replay value is insane!
excellent intro to my favorite game of all time! You're exactly right about it being easily approachable but highly addicting. I've taken a break but I used to make videos for it as well, not as good as your's, but I sympathize with lacking the time and resources to work on youtube.
Mindustry got me through a lot of night shifts working security. Side note it's available on android and I've played it on my phone since probably 2019 or 2020.
Not to mention how easy modding the game is as well as how easy it is to access and download mods. Also very easy for mod developers since the game is entirely open sourced, and we don't even have to deal with the Steam Workshop.
Ive beaten the first world a few months ago. Dear god was it a struggle and i had multiple meltdowns where i dropped the game because i thought what massive bs some maps are
Part of the fun when getting great new tech is upgrading all the old maps you have conquered. Also learning tricks and schematics and making old maps more efficient. Hours later.... Then going on and conquering another chain of enemies.
I played mindustry before the planet view was even a thing. It was very fun but kinda got bored when I realized I can just wall off the spawn zone, put defenses there and the entire map is basically free to do whatever I want. As for air units just build the anti air here and there. EDIT: the game (covered in the video) after these massive updates is just so much more fun to play endlessly.
Back in my day, mindustry didn't have thorium (we had uranium), neither did we have units to build, nor did we have a campaign. It was literally just a map with only turrets, and without any smooth graphics, being the worst pixelated graphics in all of reality.

Bruh. Classic mindustry graphics is slick af. Btw the game still exists for free on mobile.
All I want to know is what mindustry 2 and 1 was like
133 actually has a lot of sand, it’s just you know, under the enemy base. Once you capture the sector though it’s actually one of the best early game hub sectors
Best hub sector by far is the salt flats. Almost entirely flat land. I always use it
I thought it was 173 since you get titanium before windswept
You know you buy too many games when you look at a game and think it looks cools, only to look in Steam and realize you already bought it (probably during a Steam sale).
It's actually free on official Anuke website (developer)
Fun fact, in update 5 the core actually backed up if you sent materials into it and it was full. It was changed in update 6 because it made sending mixed belts of resources into the core impossible, because one resource filling up would stop the others on the belt from going in.

Sorters with incinerators was the way to fix that.
I miss v5 unit grouping mechanic. But I won't give spaghetti belt up in v6 for it
I thought the comment said the core would back you up
Q
You didn't even touch on the MOST addictive part... logic processors. Once you break open the can of worms that is unit mining, ANY map becomes OP.
And then you discover your first self building schematic

I am pro mindustry player so here is some tips: If you somehow make a contraption that works; always make it a schematic for you to build it again without trying to remember it, You need to, also make a narrow gap on your wall where enemies get tricked to go into so they will not find a different way to go in your base and for you to concentrate you turrets in that are(Note this only is applicable on places that have a large enough area to fit a gap).

I use narrow gap trick with fuse and it works perfectly against ground unit
In case of air unit just use that laser unit with it
I take notes on everything that works in order to remember it along with schematics because schematics alone often get too complicated without an explanation

Mindustry has been a good game since it was a pixelart mobile game that ran on the iPod touch. Will never stop being good.
You should make sure your core is full(including coal) until you discover launch pads
And you should use junctions until you discover plated conveyors which don't accept from sides
Sadly you are stuck with routers until you find green belts
And schematics are like cheat codes but you still pay for the resources but minus the time you spend while building it
For the clogging you can just pick up the items from the conveyors unless you use complex schematics that you don't know how it works. It's almost impossible to separate contaminated fluids.

Not to mention how easy modding the game is as well as how easy it is to access and download mods. Also very easy for mod developers since the game is entirely open sourced, and we don't even have to deal with the Steam Workshop.
Man. I played this before it even came to steam. It's nice to see how far it's come, but I sadly can't bring myself to play it anymore
These games are stressful and take time, it's understandable
Great work man, I really like your commentary. Keep up the good work.
looks cool, I remember putting 200 hours in factorio the first month I had it, these games are digital crack
Really cool video on a game I love to bits
Gonna use this to hopefully make my friends pick this game up
this game will plague my family for generations to come (im never gonna meet a girl in my life)
I played mindustry before factorio.
Best way ive seen someone explain mindustry in a nutshell
I saw kenshi skeleton and immediately subscribed
Ive beaten the first world a few months ago. Dear god was it a struggle and i had multiple meltdowns where i dropped the game because i thought what massive bs some maps are
Oh my god you don't understand how much I've suffered at the hands of this game
love these videos, can’t wait to see what else is in store
Came across this video too late. Already half a dozen missions into the orange planet. I'm gonna cry soon if everything remains true in this video XD.
did you cry
as someone who plays mindustry, im widely addicted to it
I started on Erekir, Serpulo is so much harder.
Been playing since v4 absolutely love it to death and cannot believe what it is now
Part of the fun when getting great new tech is upgrading all the old maps you have conquered. Also learning tricks and schematics and making old maps more efficient.
Hours later....
Then going on and conquering another chain of enemies.
I played mindustry before the planet view was even a thing.
It was very fun but kinda got bored when I realized I can just wall off the spawn zone, put defenses there and the entire map is basically free to do whatever I want.
As for air units just build the anti air here and there.
EDIT: the game (covered in the video) after these massive updates is just so much more fun to play endlessly.
Addiction is just a sign you made a good game when you talk about the factorio style game
Loved the video. I almost never comment, but for such a small creator, this video was top-notch!
Thanks for the kind word, it really means alot
Finally, a good representation of mindustry other than just "more pixelated factorio with rts"
8:09 is that an atlantis reference I see!!
At this point i almost captured the whole planet an just wanted to wach a video about my "no suffering"
Lol bro trying tarfield first time 😂😂
He didn't see the mega launch pad yet
Thanks for the summary. Seems like a cool game! You should definitely keep making these. Let us help you get a generator!
"start on the purple planet first"
Me: no
