This release brings a new system for adding arbitrary content (sounds, music, images, blocks, items, etc.) to maps or servers. In terms of functionality, this is very close to what JSON mods can provide, except without any manual downloads necessary. Any maps/saves with assets in them must be exported through the in-game UI to work properly; for performance reasons, assets are not embedded in m…

This release includes a complete sound rework for most units and blocks, with a focus on Serpulo content. The audio engine has also been improved to handle more simultaneous sounds without cutting off playback. This release also removes the Serpulo background wave simulation system - if you are not on a sector that is under attack , it will no longer be updated. You will still receive items and…
The highlight of this release is a new system for patching stats of content on servers and maps. This system will allow players to customize health, requirements, recipes, weapons, bullets, etc. individually. This is not a replacement for modding, as it does not allow adding new assets or content, but it does allow making major changes to the way the game is played and balanced. Read more about…

The highlight of this build is the re-structuring of Serpulo sectors to align with their position in the tech tree. Instead of jumping to random positions all over the planet, you will be gradually expanding your territory, starting from Ground Zero. Any previous 'preset' sector saves should be migrated to their new positions on the map. I am aware that not everyone will agree with this change,…

The Erekir Campaign · An entirely new planet, with its own tech tree, units and blocks · 100+ new blocks to research · Significantly more streamlined and linear then the Serpulo campaign · No pro…
The Beta Mindustry v7 is now in Beta . While this does not change anything about how the version is accessed or distributed, it signifies that v7 is 'feature-complete', and will be seeing very few major changes after this point. In terms of complete-ness, the only things left for v7 are the 5 (or so) final campaign maps, polish, balancing, and bugfixes. At this point in development, I will need…
The first Erekir build is finally here. This is a massive update that brings with it an entirely new planet - Erekir - with a completely new tech tree. It would take too long to list all the changes and additions in this build, but here are the highlights: - A new, separate (but incomplete) campaign on the planet Erekir with its own mechanics. - 100+ new blocks - New units - New items - New fac…
Introduction As many have noticed, it has been many months since the last pre-alpha release, and nearly a year since the last stable release. To begin, I will attempt address some common questions about this release, and the status of Mindustry in general. Why is this update taking so long? Up until this point, all (pre-classic) Mindustry updates have been incremental additions or changes to ex…
Build 127 , the first pre-alpha release of v7, is now available on the v7-testing Steam branch. To opt in , right click Mindustry in your Steam library, then click Properties -> Betas -> Select v7-testing in the drop-down box. Note that this is a highly incomplete version of v7. Most content planned for v7 is unfinished, and will not be included in this release! Ideally, this version should be…
