One of the must play gems, top-down pixel graphics and options to play on any device. The game has a huge playerbase, youtube tutorials, discord, all that Fandom.
You can choose to support the devs or play for free (except iOS).
Edit: Did I mention pvp? Ultimately your factories can build droids to fight the good war.
So, like Factorio, but scored like golf?
Not sure if golfy describes it, more like Bloons with mining
I was poking fun at the spelling being read as Mîndustry vs Mīne-dustry. (ie. minimum+industry)
Min as in minimum, I don’t like it. Min-dustry.
I’m right there with you, despite the fact it changes nothing re: “min” being the vastly more acceptable abbreviation for “minimum” than it could be for “mining”. 🤪
NGL, it does not “spark joy”, as the celebrity host of Mindustry TV would say.
Opened this game in front of a friend the other day. They said “mine-dustry” and I said “min-dustry” and I find it amusing your comment encapsulated that.
Went looking online for how it is officially pronounced and found nothing, but I did find a wiki for it that is not hosted on Fandom! Rejoice! https://mindustrygame.github.io/wiki/
This reminds me I need to get back into it. Stopped playing because I am stuck on a level (don’t remember the name) where you gotta get resources that are probably initially only accessible in a small holed off area past a wall, you need them in order to survive, and you need to build things to teleport/transport them through the wall.
I think it’s the first level I know of to force you to have to do this. Absolutely HATE that level because no matter how many times I’d defend that area, I’d get absolutely screwed over because the enemies just decide they’re gonna send a whole entire arsenal over to that one specific area and ruin everything.
Other than that, it’s a fun game when you aren’t spending over an hour building up your base only for the enemies to have built up so much defense that it’s nearly impossible to ambush them. Worth the money on Steam for how much I have gotten out of it.
Edit:
Just installed on Steam Deck. It’s Erekir’s Peaks mission/tile/map/whatever! Absolutely HATE this level!
Blueprints to build like crazy, don’t stop to fix alignments lol
Love this game, looking forward to the update!
I need to learn how to play this. I’ve had it on my phone for months but never put in the effort to figure it out.
I just started trying to play this, so thanks OP for posting and reminding me about it. Graphics are really nice! I appreciate that I can try for free on itch.io, if I like it I’ll buy on Steam to support the devs and for convenience tbh.
