Mindustry

Build production lines and defend your base in Mindustrial. You combine resource management, conveyor belts and real-time strategy.

Developer Anuken

Version 160.5 · Open source · Windows · macOS · Linux · Android

Mindustrial combines building a factory with defending your base. You take raw materials from the environment, move them with conveyor belts and use them to keep production and defense running. A powerful defense doesn't help much when the supply of ammunition or energy stops.

You should therefore not only place more buildings, but also see where your network is jammed. A bottleneck in production can affect your entire base further down. This coherence makes the game interesting if you like to build systems and then step by step improves.

You can use the official desktop release or choose an offered store version. There is a separate package for servers. When playing together, check that client and server connect together and make a copy of your progress before using mods or another release.

Who is it for?

You like to improve production chains and in the meantime defend a base. You're looking for a game where planning and solving bottlenecks come together.

Getting started

Use the official download for your device. For the separate desktop JAR file, you need a matching Java runtime; choose an offered platform package if you prefer to use a bundled installation. Save your progress before switching.

Privacy

When playing locally, you stay on your device. Connect to a multiplayer server, then connection and game data will be exchanged with that server. Choose servers and mods consciously.

Good to know

Larger basics ask overview about many interdependent systems. Mods and server versions can provide additional compatibility work.

Please note

Install mods only from a familiar origin and store your save games separately. A server and client with different versions cannot work together properly on their own.

Advantages

Our verdict

Mindustriery suits you well if you enjoy improving a working system. It's not just about clicking faster, it's also about recognizing a wrong supply route or a shortage that weakens your defense. That combination makes it more challenging than a loose construction puzzle. Start small and don't expand until you understand where your raw materials and energy are going.
