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

49 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:
https://discord.gg/Ctj5kqdd

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.

Help Request What to do after destroying all cores (Erekir)

5 Upvotes

Hi all, first time posting here.

I love the game so far, i have played around 15 levels in Erekir and have a question regarding the campaign.

Usually the goal is to destroy all enemy cores, after destroying you have the opportunity to place a new core. My confusion is however after you have destroyed the last core, does it add any value to make a new core and setup a base, or just skip to the next level?

Thanks in advance for the reply <3

You set the inverted sorter to the output of the production. You can use however many inputs you want (each side can hold 2, delete one side if you are using 2 inputs)

Help Request what is wrong with my code?

what this is supposed to do: tell polys to mine coal or sand. based on which ore is less in core

at first this seems to work fine. but what happens, that shouldnt: at some point (i believe when either the amount of sand exceeds the amount of coal or other way around) the poly(s) instantly decide to go mine the other ore. although they should recieve a mining command only when they have no items in them. this leads to the polys having one type of ore in them, while trying to mine a different one. so they just stand there doing nothing and after a while they even become unbound. i dont understand what the problem is

code as text:

ubind u/poly sensor polyCapacity u/unit u/itemCapacity sensor polyItemAmount u/unit u/totalItems jump 12 greaterThan polyItemAmount 0 sensor sandInCore nucleus1 u/sand sensor coalInCore nucleus1 u/coal jump 9 lessThanEq coalInCore sandInCore ulocate ore core false u/sand oreX oreY found core jump 10 always x false ulocate ore core false u/coal oreX oreY found core ucontrol approach oreX oreY 5 0 0 ucontrol mine oreX oreY 5 0 0 jump 14 equal polyItemAmount polyCapacity end ulocate building core false u/copper coreX coreY foundCore core ucontrol approach coreX coreY 5 0 0 ucontrol itemDrop core polyItemAmount 5 0 0

So I haven't played mindustry in a year now, and realized the spawn thing has moved and I clearly didn't know what to do here and just threw some cyclones and ripples, also I think I'm bad on chaining the ammo for them-

For anyone who needs explanation, spore to coal gets you about 30% more power.

Spore straight to steam gets you a conversion rate of 25.8 water for 291.5 power (powering exactly one Steam Turbine), so -11.30 power per unit of water, not counting potential water collection costs.

Spore to oil to coal to steam gets you a conversion rate of 15.9 water to 235.18 power (powering exactly one Steam Turbine), so -14.79 power per unit of water, not counting potential water collection costs. Including the conversion tax of the spore press and coal centrifuge.

Now, is it more space and/or more build cost efficient? I'll let you guys figure that one out. In terms of space you have more complexity, and while you have half the Cultivators you also have to add in Presses and Centrifuges. And I think the build cost is about the same, except for maybe exchanging relatively small amounts of copper and silicon for lead, graphite, and titanium. Just do remember to beware the hefty siligone cost of steam turbines and unloaders.

Also the split water and power stats listed in the second image are for whether you have the research/plastanium for the Overdrive Projector.

The schematic also doesn't tile downwards, but it does go left, right, and up.

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
