US sources · iOS / Android
Who it suits
For players who enjoy supply chains, factory construction and defending a base, alone or in cross-platform co-op.
Things to consider
Production lines and base defense need simultaneous attention; combat depends on steady supplies.
How Mindustry plays and where to start
- Controls & combat
Factory management with RTS commands: build production blocks and assembly lines, distribute liquids and coolant, produce units for automatic base management or assaults, and command units against fully functional enemy bases.
- Exploration & story
A campaign across two planets - Serpulo and Erekir - through 35 hand-made maps and 250+ procedurally generated sectors, where captured territory keeps producing while you play other sectors and must be defended from periodic invasions.
Editor’s tip
- Your first steps
Build a supply chain that feeds your turrets, then experiment with coolant and unit production. Try co-op if you want to share factory planning with friends.
- Purchases
US iOS is a paid download; Android is free to download. Ads and in-app purchase availability are unknown.
