I feel that the beta version currently used in the preview is the better version. The current one just seems to outright copy the app version. I liked the more unique animations and special characters (i.e. the little helper drone) as well as it's old design and use.
Connect to your server by specifying the IP address of your computer. Like 192.168.0.101. If you dont know your IP, open Command Promt and enter command "ipconfig". Do yo see string "IPv4-adress....."? It's your local IP-adress. Use it when you connect to your server.
New version is WAY cooler for experienced players, but some blocks lack explanation. Overall I give is a 9/10. I'm glad this game is still being worked on!
The game has changed! To the better one, I think :)
But there are many things left to do. From my - gamer - perspective, the highest problem is lack of good explanation how everything works. Icons in the game help are not very clear when you don't know all the resources (when starting the game). So now I have to create all the possible things and experiment what can be put inside which building and what will be as a result.
Second thing is that I don't know if energy system is balanced. I don't know yet, because I haven't created all the things.
The idea of "campaign" is very interesting and probably very good, but lack of "advisor" there can be harmful for newbies.
Versions 3.0 and 3.5 of the game was much easier to understand and easier to play. This one is a very good main breaker and I want to play it more! :)
Edit: consider updating/ creating wiki pages and/or some diagrams how every building works. Or just basics? Allowing names near ore icons also is a good idea :)
Edit2: found a bug: if you build a complete conveyor bridge, it will act as infinite storage. I have tried to test the capacity, but I coudn't reach the max of it. Where is the best place for bug tracking?
Yes, but I can't read properly from icons. Also the explanations aren't clear enough. For example from help button I don't know if second drill will work without water (experiments: yes, but with lower efficiency).
There is a MAJOR BUG in Alpha 4.0, which is, there is a limit of how many resources you can have. I have been mining the dark purple ore (idk what it is) after I build my base with a big network flow (managed to use 9 inputs to the base transformed in 18 inputs - I split 3 lanes into 1 - and the damn thing clogged at the cube base where your mined items goes! This makes my 3 lane to 1 thing not working and the clogging is a mess! Looking at resources it seems the dark purple ore (have not tested any other ore) is capped at max of 2.0K and will NOT enter any more in the cube base unless you consume it and it will fill to the 2.0K again.
Thank you for the explanation! This version (4.0 Alpha v54) is much better than the 3.5 one, it just lacks a tutorial or explanations, but I managed to learn about every block and how it works through trial and error. Great game.
Did a crash log appear in your screen/folder? If so, Go to the Mindustry Discord server to send a bug report to Anuke. Discord: https://discord.gg/G35dM3K
In the Mindustry Discord server. But if your in version 4.0, Its not possible to download maps. (yet) If your in 3.5, Here is the link to the Discord server: https://discord.gg/G35dM3K And also, go to the channel #maps after you joined the server.
Are you in the latest unstable build in Mindustry? (Version 4.0, Build 52) If your not in the latest unstable build, Go to the Downloads page. It should be easy to find it.
I'm glad you like the game. :D If you want to support the game even further, I would recommend joining the Mindustry Discord server. https://discord.gg/G35dM3K
Go to the Mindustry Discord server to get help how to setup a public server. This also requires port forwarding. Edit: Woops i forgot to add the link, https://discord.gg/G35dM3K
Hey. This is a good game and I'd like to donate some money. Before I do, could you tell me whether you'll charge money for the game when it's completed? Also, Have you considered putting this game up on other platforms e.g. Steam?
one bug in the alpha:no matter WHERE you are,whatever you selected to destroy/build will be destroyed and build(exept if you lack resources when you have to wait till you get them or cancel the building process=destroy it.also,whatever you intedet to do about the ramming damage it does not work properly,and the map gets deleted after you exit the game(means when you load your save you only see your own structures on the map,marked blue).also if possible,could you make it the way that you can scroll the map please?and about balancing,would it be possible to tweak the wall generation or ad an liquif tunneler?because i had an much needed water lake beside my base but it was surrounded with walls,which made it basicaly impossible to use it.also, an idea:how about a blueprind mode where you can build whatever you like without having to worry about resources and your building and seeing range,so that you can plan things better out than just paused. i'm sorrythat this is so much but...well,its the alpha,and this is quite normal *megaboto tried to cheer for somebody and encourage them...he failed,like with everything else in his life* anyways,everthing else is quite good in the 3.5 and 4.0 is quite...interesting too,while i would recomend an tutorial, since it's so different. but thank you for continiouing(sry for my bad english,i am german and only understood english for something like half a year)
hey Anuke, I found a glitch where when you are building something with your bot and don't have enough resources It glitches and stops shooting and I couldn't even mine! (sorry for bad spelling and such.)
Hello Anuke, I own a blog for indie and flash gaming, and would be interested in interviewing you. If you are also interested, please respond to the email located in my bio.
hey anuke, i'd like your mindustry unreleased 4.0 but it seem has some problem like: 1. i cant put mechanical pump above oil 2.i already get interceptor, dagger,titan pad but there's no option to build that. I can only build them on editors menu. 3. I cant put more than 2 teams in my game, if i put more than 2 the game crashed. Please fix this. Btw mindustry best
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!

how do i make titanium
You don't.
how can i create a 4.0 server ?
or it is possible to create a 4.0 server ?
For Windows:
Download Mindustry-server-4.0-alpha-56.jar from download page.
Create new text document in the same folder where placed file Mindustry-server-4.0-alpha-56.jar and enter next text:
java -Xmx512M -jar Mindustry-server-4.0-alpha-56.jar
save text document as .bat
Run it.
Connect to your server by specifying the IP address of your computer. Like 192.168.0.101. If you dont know your IP, open Command Promt and enter command "ipconfig". Do yo see string "IPv4-adress....."? It's your local IP-adress. Use it when you connect to your server.
Done.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

when you click an item you can click he ? button. it will show what resources it takes and what it creates
as for the rest you need to experiment
Yes, but I can't read properly from icons. Also the explanations aren't clear enough. For example from help button I don't know if second drill will work without water (experiments: yes, but with lower efficiency).

This is not a bug; all resources are capped at 2k capacity. If you want to store more resources near your core, use vaults.
When will this update come to Android phones?
Every build of 4.0 has been available for Android as an APK file download here on itch.io.
If you're asking about the Google Play store, it'll be released to production once it's no longer in alpha/beta.
Thanks <3

What happened to the tutorial
it got deleted due to the insane overhaul of the gameplay, its not even helpful anymore, or simply outdated.
So is there like a walkthrough or something I can use, because the game looks fun, but its hard to enjoy it when I have no idea what I'm doing.
how do i make more units like the one you get at the start of the sector?
You'll need to build "unit" pads. Or ill just simply call them drone pads. All these drones require silicone plus with additional materials.
love the game but is there going to be a reactor again or a replacement also I like the weapons and being able to use different ammo

ye please fix or if its a feature, add a way to disable.
it was very confusing at first impressions, I thought the game was bugged, so I restarted my save and game like five times.
hey Anuke, I found a glitch where when you are building something with your bot and don't have enough resources It glitches and stops shooting and I couldn't even mine! (sorry for bad spelling and such.)
This is not a glitch, this is intentional. (This may change sometimes... You can go check there Discord server for more information.)
ok thank you for replying to my comment

I have one question, what I need to do so someone who joins my game to join a different team not the blue team??
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
