Mod Discussion A quick guide to some popular mods to stop the influx of somewhat stupid questions.

50 Upvotes

Recently i've seen multiple posts about mods like exogenesis passing through, and since people seem to not be able to be bothered to go to the github to have their questions answered here is some often seen questions:

Exogenesis: How do i access the other factions?

The exogenesis mod is being re-made almost from scratch in java and we will probably not see a release until the end of 2025. As for the current mod, it is an unbalanced mess. To access the technologies of different factions you must click on the thing at the top of the tech tree with the planet name and select the faction. The java version will have a completly separated gameplay from vanilla apart from some expansion with the t6+ units and turrets (there'll probably be some sectors that use them added to serpulo or rekir)

New horizon: clearing up confusion.

The new horizon mod is getting a full campain revamp to make it less confusing, however for now you'll have to beat both vanilla planets to have an easier time on midantha. It's also being develloped by a different dev now.
you can also join the New Horizon discord here for more info: https://discord.gg/GeM78yKU

Frozen Farlands: When update?/current mod is a bit hard.

The frozen farlands mod is one of the more popular campaing mods, however in its current state it suffers from a few visible problems such as balancing, or its horrendous turret and unit sprites. It is thankfully getting a full remake for its 2.0 update wich is in total about 70% done right now, though the main dev seems to have somewhat abandoned it.

Aeyama: Is it abandoned?

aeyama is abandones as far as i know, there also is some controversy around the amount of stars it has, with suspicion of botting.

Fading Revelations: Is it unbalanced?

fading revelations has its own planets that you're supposed to use its units and turrets on, and as such is not meant to be balanced to vanilla, but due to ressources being shared beetween planets with no environmental barrier stopping you from using its turrets and units on serpulo it may be unbalanced against vanilla. It also is abandoned sadly.

Asthosus: I am having difficulties with [map], can someone help?

asthosus is in my opinion a very difficult mod, and so it's normal to struggle with it. It has mutiple uneven difficulty spikes, however if you have any complaints you may bring them to the asthosus discord server where you'll also be able to get help:

Omaloon: When release?

The main dev does not have a lot of time to work on the mod and it is as such progressing very slowly sadly. For more questions you can join the omaloon discord:
https://discord.gg/VXuEtYFV

Allure: How can i play it?

Allure is probably the biggest mod for mindustry so far. To play it, follow this simple guide:
1: download the latest bleeding edge build here: https://github.com/Anuken/MindustryBuilds/releases
2: Launch the bleeding edge build, and disable all your java mods before going to the browser and downloading allure.
3: enjoy.
I am sadly unable to ge the invite link to the allure discord although you may get it in its repository's readme file: https://github.com/LixieWulf/Allure/tree/master

If you have any more questions, ask in the comments and i will answer them and add them to the post.

Is a java mod playable on iOS?

Java mods are not playable on IOS, as ios cannot read java.

I also noticed that surge alloy is supposed to do less damage than blast compound when shooting at Scepter, but for some reason it's the other way around

I saw a type of defense online where you build a tunnel out of walls to funnel the enemies in, making it easier to kill them.

Base/Highscore Serpulo I just started this game a few days ago, learned everything so far from trial and error. This is my first time getting resource creation fully automated!

Usually I completely cannibalize an outpost when I leave. I did not realize that they could continue to harvest and make resources for research! And so I decided that this time I would have an outpost crafting in the background for my research tiers. Defenses were nuked though, I needed some of the resources back.

Is there anything super obvious that I'm missing here?

Sometimes I run out of resources to build long-distance conveyor lines. Mass drivers seem much easier: you just set them up and they do the job. Are they worth it?

Sometimes there just isn't enough space on the ore patches for standard drills. I already use T1 Monos, but I was wondering: is it worth upgrading them to T3 Megas to automate resource gathering?

Help Request Help understanding conduits/bridges on Erekir

1 Upvotes

Apparently I dont understand how to work conduits on Erekir. My simple task is to supply both ship refabricators with hydrogen supplied from the south. In my first screenshot I built a conduit going north with a bridge over a conveyor, then a router so that the lower refab gets hydrogen. Then as seen in the second screenshot I built a bridge right above the router and piped hydrogen into the upper refab. Only now that somehow deletes the lower router so the lower refab gets no hydrogen. Where did I go wrong?

PS - where is a good resource to get info like this thats not a fandom site? Youtube is not much help.
