The game no longer opens on Mac anymore! I haven't played for a while, but I installed the 4.0 on my Windows computer. THAT works. But when I did the same on my Mac, it imediately crashes, the icon is only open for half a second!
the game is awesome. Can anyone tell me how to create a Server? i know i have to download the 3.5-40 Server data from the downloads but then i dont know how to go on. pls help me
Cool, middle clicking, I'll try that. I just downloaded for linux. - the game is waaaay better, very refined and professional :-) I'm glad you made an online version 'tho I never would have bothered to download it otherwise. Playing online is super simple.
I like how you've gone from bridges to tunnels, I like to build several defensive walls each one supplied by materials from the one behind it, and the tunnels stop invaders walking past them :-) I miss playing on random generated levels, I tried using the map editor briefly, but you can only generate random land masses, not resources.
I played the spiral and got to level 98 on my second attempt :-) which is cool, because I was still learning how to use repairbots and thermal generator.
After that I played the maze and there was almost no titanium, there was one patch, but it was right next to the invader spawn so I could only build 3 mines. I guarded it as much as I could with steel, then refined all the titanium to dirium and slowly replaced the steel wall with dirium and covered the area with repairbots, it was so awesome I took a screenshot of it.
Just wanna say you're awesome dev. Looking through the comments, I can see you make a big deal out of replying to comments. You've created a great game, and you keep working to make it better. If I wasn't, er, broke right now, I'd certainly donate to keep your work going. As it stands? You'll just have to wait until the inspiration you've given me pays off :)
Hi, I've been playing you game for a few hours now. It's really interesting playing without instructions, it involves a lot of experimentation and trial and error trying to figure out how all the different factories handle materials. two major pieces of feedback 1) trying to walk on water results in a crash. I suspect that if an invader attempts to walk on water also results in a crash, but I've never seen it on the screen. 2) If you run out of resources while building, then you get stuck waiting for that resource. Can't go away and build something else, or mine stuff manually, or even shoot at the enemy. It is especialy bad it you've exhausted your supply of Carbine because the helper robot that fly's around picking up Rock and Tungston will never resolve your supply issue. Other than that, it's an awesome game and totally absorbing if you have the patients. I had to do a lot of experimentation on Normal Level before I figured out you can load the guns with raw materials. I haven't figured out how liquids work yet. Then I started playing on hard and it always crashes when the game gets very complex. I haven't been able to figure out exactly why. Also, one time I walked right up to the edge of the map and the game crashed when the wave countdown hit zero. oh yeah, I've been playing online in Firefox Browser. Cheers
1) Looks like this only occurs on the web version (due to an oversight), and I've fixed it for the next release. The crash is caused by status effects being applied to units (stepping in puddles or being set on fire would also instantly freeze). Some of the changes in the next build are pretty major, so it might take a while to release.
2) You can stop building by middle-clicking-- however, I haven't tested on Firefox, so it might not be handling input events correctly there.
I suggest that you add a feature so we can reset our progress, such as resetting our Unlocks, if i start a new world I do not really want to have all of my unlocks.
My friend told me about this game. He said it is free of charge unless you want to pay to support it. I said, "not unless the license is GPL, I have no interest in donating to freeware if it doesn't respect my digital freedom." I started looking for the licensing, being rather pessimistic. When I found that it is licensed under GPL, I was blown away!
im currently running the latest version of mindustry however it crashed in the previous version aswell. The game used to run fine so i dont think its because my laptop isnt good enough.
I can't play multiplayer with my bro. I click on local host, and it always says, unable to connect or disconnected from server. I've tried to change the name of the server ip or change it to my ip address but it doesn't work. Please help
This error means that your graphics card doesn't support OpenGL 2.0. Try updating your graphics drivers. If that still doesn't work, you must have an outdated graphics card, and there's nothing I can do to help, sorry.
You really think this was made in an engine? I think it was made with Java. Most of the graphics are hand made and most of the gameplay features were made by many people within the community.
No update in 4 months? Is this game still being updated? I have some quality improvement suggestions...
— Option to make the entire GUI transparent. — Put the toggle GUI closer to the right panel so it's easier to open and close while building when at the right edge of the map. — Move the inventory items list to a bottom bar and make it permanently there. It's hard to tell how much items you are depleting while building, would be good to see inventory all the time. — Add more detailed descriptions to buidings. Some buildings aren't explained clearly/properly. Several items have text that say if it needs power, some items, like the teleporter, does not. It became especially confusing since it did NOT need power in previous versions. I checked youtube for playthroughs and the ones I saw did not need power. Would also be nice to mention that some buildings would need multiple lasers to be powered efficiently. —— More complete tutorial. Some items can be very complicated for newbies and it can be a bit overwhelming to understand. I had to do a lot of trial and error to figure out a lot of stuff. (might not be needed if previous suggestion is done) — Status description for buildings. Allow buildings to be clicked on to display what it is doing. Sometimes you can't tell if an item is working or not, like teleporters or routers, I often need to place a conveyor belt beside them just to know if it will spit out items. — A toggle option for rotation when building in bulk. Building a long line of conveyors is useful when it automatically goes the direction you are dragging but when you have to put a dozen belts facing a different direction, you need to click one by one, which is a chore. — An auto-random map generator. There are only a few selectable maps and you need to create your own if you want to play on more. While the randomizer in the map maker is handy, it would be nicer if it can just make a random map by itself on the map selection screen. — Better power indicators. When using powerboosters, it can be hard to tell what is being powered or not and if the powerbooster is working without hovering on the buildings. It would help if all items that are giving/receiving power had a glow on them or an icon. —— Lasers in general are also pretty cluttered, if a building is being hit by lasers from all sides you'd barely be able to tell what building it is. Maybe thin down the beam or have an option to turn them off (would work well if previous suggestion is done). — Damage indicators. It's hard to tell how much damage you are dealing/receiving. — Extend the tunnel to at least 3 (as the wiki says) or have a way to build it longer (maybe requiring conveyors). — Option to allow enemies to have random spawn locations. Would make the player protect all of his builds instead of just clogging up the paths. — Move the enemy location arrows to a corner, it sometimes gets in the way of things when you are building or the opposite and it can barely be seen. Moving it to a corner and putting a black background beneath it, like a radar, will work well. — Make the player character consume inventory items when shooting. Would be a nice challenge. — Make most units require stone. Stone becomes pretty useless in late game and you just keep getting a lot of it.
Sorry for the wall of suggestions. I love the game and would like to see it continue to grow and get even better. :D
Wow. So many things are being changed and added that it's basically a different game. It's highly likely that most, if not all, of my suggestions are covered. I just hope some features are optional, like the random enemy spawn. Thanks for the link. I'll just have to wait for the update to see how things are changed. :D
First of all, I'd like to mention that the itch.io "last updated" metric isn't accurate, since I've moved all the change logs in-game. The last update was actually ~1 month ago.
As posted above, many of the things you've suggested are already planned/done for 4.0. The exception is many of your UI-related suggestions-- I'll be adding some of these to the Trello soon. (By the way, you *can* disable power lasers in graphics settings.)
And, no, random spawnpoints will not be optional. I've seen that many people just set up a giant shielded ring around spawnpoints and camp every wave-- this is something I would like to avoid.
To clear things up a bit: spawnpoints won't be *completely* random: they won't change every wave, and only move major distances if player turrets or other defenses are placed near them.
Thanks for the clarifications. I didn't realize the power lasers could already be disabled.
The spawnpoints not being optional is not a big deal since it adds depth to the game, it's a good improvement. Only reason I wanted it optional was strictly for testing purposes so I don't have to worry about multiple locations, like trying out how tough waves can get and what buildings can/can't do, or simply how to make an efficient layout. But it's not a problem if I go on sandbox mode, I was just on freebuild.
Anyway, I have no complaints anymore. All of those upcoming updates are overwhelming, I'll just stay tuned for that. It's also nice to know that the game is still constantly being updated and on a massive scale. Just keep up the good work. :D

Hey Anuke,
Have you seen this website? https://steemgg.com/
Might be a good platform for your games to earn some extra cash.
Love Mindustry BTW!
Why there is only two games ?
It only just launched about a week ago.
Ow okey, then it interest me !
Are you a game developer?
Yep
You can tell when it will be left to download the full version 4.0 and 3.5 of the functions (such as the sandbox mode or saved photo etc.)
If you want to be notified when the 4.0 update will be launched, You may consider joining his Discord server.
it freezes quiet often but all in all it is a very cool and creative game. most freezes are when you save and when your character touches water
7/10
It freezes because it auto saves
open then instant close on mac :(
It keeps randomly freezing.
left click launch then hit uninstall then click reinstall and pick the last one
i know how to fix it on mac
The game no longer opens on Mac anymore! I haven't played for a while, but I installed the 4.0 on my Windows computer. THAT works. But when I did the same on my Mac, it imediately crashes, the icon is only open for half a second!
the game is awesome. Can anyone tell me how to create a Server? i know i have to download the 3.5-40 Server data from the downloads but then i dont know how to go on. pls help me
Make a new game or load a game, and go into the pause menu and their should be a "Host Server" button there.
i Know what u mean .But I mean a server which is public and anyone can join
You'll need to broadcast your IP or port somewhere, maybe on discord. Most likely not here
Ok thank you
the overflow thingie brings the game to crash :( please fix
This game is f*****g awesome
CRETE NEW SERVERS FOR 4.
The game just crashes every time I try to join a server
Cool, middle clicking, I'll try that. I just downloaded for linux. - the game is waaaay better, very refined and professional :-) I'm glad you made an online version 'tho I never would have bothered to download it otherwise. Playing online is super simple.

Middle clicking works perfectly. :-)
the ore generation is activated in the 'map info' tab
you could have posted the screenshot
love this game, so far just played on mobile, but loved the game
To hard to do things :v

how do you make a server?

What I said about invaders trying to walk on water and causing a crash. Well, that's exactly what happens.
1) Looks like this only occurs on the web version (due to an oversight), and I've fixed it for the next release. The crash is caused by status effects being applied to units (stepping in puddles or being set on fire would also instantly freeze). Some of the changes in the next build are pretty major, so it might take a while to release.
2) You can stop building by middle-clicking-- however, I haven't tested on Firefox, so it might not be handling input events correctly there.
Thanks for your feedback!
sandbox
or is there already one , like when you unlocked everything?
Just when you start a new game, select sandbox mode as difficulty
I suggest that you add a feature so we can reset our progress, such as resetting our Unlocks, if i start a new world I do not really want to have all of my unlocks.
Please Merge Multiplayer And SingleplayerMy friend told me about this game. He said it is free of charge unless you want to pay to support it.

im currently running the latest version of mindustry however it crashed in the previous version aswell. The game used to run fine so i dont think its because my laptop isnt good enough.
This is an issue with graphics drivers or your graphics card. Could be caused by a buggy Java version too.
I haven't changed anything related to graphics much on the new versions, so the cause is most likely something wrong with your laptop.
When can we expect 4.0?
I can't play multiplayer with my bro. I click on local host, and it always says, unable to connect or disconnected from server. I've tried to change the name of the server ip or change it to my ip address but it doesn't work. Please help
Again, I still request for a Discord Invite to the Mindustry discord servers
Anuke, please
It's https://discord.gg/mindustry. A Discord link is also on the main (itch.io) game page and Github, for future reference.
This error means that your graphics card doesn't support OpenGL 2.0. Try updating your graphics drivers. If that still doesn't work, you must have an outdated graphics card, and there's nothing I can do to help, sorry.
what engine was this made in?
You really think this was made in an engine? I think it was made with Java. Most of the graphics are hand made and most of the gameplay features were made by many people within the community.
I'm not using an engine, but libGDX is the core game framework.
This is the most addicting game on itch.io
http://everybodyedits.com/games/PW43vsmeYWcUI
DEVELOPER PLEASE CLICK THE LINK IT IS A LINK TO A GAME CALLED EVERYBODY EDITS AND I MADE SOME SPRITES OF YOUR GAME PLEASE
Sorry, the game requires making an account to view your world-- If you'd like to show me something, a screenshot would be great!
doesnt matter i deleted it
when was sandbox mode added and i want to download in that version how do i do that?
Amazing game. Extremely addictive and brilliant in gameplay.
Just got sucked in for 2 hours.
i lovedd this game - world editor
-Fun
-Stratergy
