As with earlier major updates, there are too many changes to list in a single post - these are just the highlights. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35810448/87a1a13be0143658bc9ddb5bdb2eb6451ad7515c.png 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 procedural sectors, only 17 larger hand-made maps, with optional sectors to be added later Attack fully functional enemy bases with smarter, dynamic unit AI {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35810448/58c2b0d90386df69d2dea94ea752dd26c0c9353b.png New Units 15 new units to research and construct on Erekir; 5 new naval support units on Serpulo A new payload-based unit construction system for higher tiers A new class of tank units A new variant of insectoid walkers Hovercraft units with unique weapons and abilities {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35810448/edb5e3dc37ec973bdf92742a97a3fbbee1c631df.png New Production Blocks & Turrets 10 new turrets on Erekir Missile launchers, lasers and artillery with unique firing patterns and animations A new heat system for powering or boosting certain blocks An entirely new resource production tree Power production utilizing new liquids, items and terrain Two new reactors with their own "meltdown" mechanics {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35810448/8bcb5bbb83d2f32a2a0d11cae9050a0db5907935.png New Transportation Ducts, a higher-throughput transport block Directional bridges with no configuration Routers with 3 output directions, no backflow, and sorting capabilities Drone item transport for long-distance delivery Payload mass drivers for shooting units or containers across points Orthogonal beam nodes as a different way of transferring power {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35810448/0e985dd09dbcbe5ede4e559bb4eaedcccd07149d.png New Unit Controls Units can now be selected and commanded to positions or enemy targets, similarly to other RTS games Formations have been removed - simply select units instead Command centers have been removed - as a replacement, select all factories (shift+h) or all units (shift+g) to command them all to a point Serpulo support units now have several "modes" depending on capabilities - repair, mining, rebuilding, and player following/assisting While this system is still quite primitive, more features (hotkeys, waypoints, etc) may be added later Conclusion & the Future of Mindustry Overall, this has been - in terms of raw new content and mechanics - the largest update in Mindustry history. It has taken more than a year to complete, and turned into quite the ordeal. I'll be blunt: This game has been under development for more than 5 years now, with the updates getting bigger and bigger every time. I am feeling rather burnt out after this update, and I don't think I will be able to implement anything beyond "maintenance" for a while - a few months, at least. I will still be interested in providing bu...Mindustry v7 Beta + Full Release DateOct 4, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsThe 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 extra help from users to report bugs and suggest balanacing/feedback on Github (or the balancing channel in the Discord). Most content has not been extensively tested, and as such there are sure to be balancing issues with anything past the current campaign tech tree (T4-5 units, especially). Switching to the Beta To use this beta version of Mindustry, right-click Mindustry in your library, click Properties -> Betas and select v7-testing from the dropdown box. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35810448/d6a628093cbc0f4afa28e9af52e86b7835303486.png A v7 Release Date With the beta finally here, and v7 being in development for more than a year, it's time for me to finally decide on a firm release date: November 11th (2022). This should provide enough time for the remaining campaign maps to be finished, and any serious bugs/balancing issues to be squashed.Build 136: Erekir Alpha ReleaseJul 16, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsThe first Erekir build is finally here. https://i.imgur.com/Wzy0ALt.gif 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: https://i.imgur.com/IyUGfuP.gif - A new, separate (but incomplete) campaign on the planet Erekir with its own mechanics. - 100+ new blocks - New units - New items - New factories, turrets, distribution blocks, support structures, etc - New systems for "scripting" maps with logic blocks and objectives - A fog-of-war system, available as a custom map rule and enabled on Erekir - Countless tweaks, improvements and QoL changes - Countless bugfixes... and probably even more new bugs https://i.imgur.com/kK5PrWL.gif The old command center and formation mechanics have been replaced with a 'RTS' command system. Holding places you in 'Command Mode', which gives you RTS-like control over your units. Left-click to select groups of units, and right-click to order them to locations or targets. Note that there is currently no way to RTS-control builder/support units present on Serpulo, like Poly or Mega. Please keep in mind that the Erekir campaign is still completely unfinished, and covers less than half of the tech tree. While Erekir is nearly complete in terms of block/unit content, most things not covered in the campaign are completely unbalanced, and should be treated as such! Damage/speed/reload/etc values of end-game content are essentially untested placeholder values. For an introduction to the new systems introduced in this build, play the campaign first. The content added in this update has not been properly tested in custom maps or PvP yet. To test this build, you must switch to the v7-testing branch by right-clicking Mindustry in your Steam library, then, clicking properties -> Betas -> v7-testing. https://i.imgur.com/ax3pfTJ.png v7 Progress ReportMar 10, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsIntroduction 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 existing content. Everything I've made has been designed to fit in with existing blocks on the Serpulo planet campaign. In v7, this is no longer the case - I am adding an completely new planet - Erekir - with its own unique set of blocks, environment tiles, units, turrets, transportation, etc. Aside from certain items, everything is different - there is no re-used content from Serpulo, not even walls or conveyors. This is a little bit like making the entire game over again. When it is complete, it will be the biggest single content update in Mindustry history. To give you an idea of the content volume, there are currently 70+ new build-able blocks that have been added when compared to the last pre-alpha, with more than 130 new blocks added total - and I'm still far from done. In addition, I am making significant changes to many various mechanics (again) - the campaign, unit control, and logic, for instance. Keep reading for more information on these topics. With all of these factors combined, this update will take much longer than normal to complete. Please be patient. When will v7 be released? I really don't know. While I already have a fair bit of content complete, I would estimate that it's only half done, if even that. Many mechanics are still in the "prototype"/"brainstorming" phase. All I can say is, don't expect it anytime soon. When is the next pre-alpha/alpha/beta release? As mentioned above, I'm still early in the process of implementing content/mechanics for Erekir - it is not ready for testing, and will likely not be for a while to come. I would like to have the entire campaign complete before I even release an alpha build. In short: Again, I don't know. Erekir Content Preview Below are some sneak peeks at content I've been working on. This is by no means a comprehensive list. Keep in mind that these units can (and have) changed significantly over the course of development - the final version may be radically different, or removed entirely! Note: Many of these GIFs are taken from the #dev-previews channel on the Mindustry Discord. Consider following that channel for more frequent updates. Units https://i.imgur.com/1runP3l.gif The T1 core, and its corresponding core unit. This unit can repair blocks, but does not have any offensive capability. https://i.imgur.com/hdSnctu.gif Shielded walker unit. Only blocks projectiles from the front. Very much WIP - weapons and legs will likely undergo significant changes prior to release. https://i.imgur.com/EyPLjW4.gif Small insect-like unit. No special abilities. Demonstrates a new unit animation system. https...Build 127: v7 Pre-Alpha Now AvailableJun 25, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsBuild 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 more stable than 126, but without a release, I cannot say for certain. The current "stable" version (126.2) contains severe bugs & balancing problems that have been addressed in this release. Due to these issues, I may have to split the v7 update into two different parts; whether or not such a split release happens at all depends on how long it takes me to finish the "interplanetary" v7 content. Consult the Mindustry Trello for more information on plans for the full v7 release.

Build 123 ReleasedJan 20, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsAs 6.0 is more or less stable now, updates have slowed down significantly. This is likely to be one of the last notable releases before 7.0.

These changes are in no way final, and may be reverted if problems are found with the approach. Currently, the campaign only affects the host player. While clients connected to the host are allowed to use the hosts's research, they cannot progress themselves. This is because there was no straightforward way for me to carry over 5.0's "parallel progression" system with shared items, as global inventories no longer exist. To improve the co-op experience, I will be implementing the following changes: 1. Any research the host does will transfer over to all connected clients, even after they disconnect. To prevent gaps in the tech tree, every direct dependency will unlocked as well. This means is that if you connect to a host and they research a Meltdown, for example, you will permanently get the Meltdown unlocked, along with the Arc, Lancer, etc. 2. Clients will be able to use any research they have, even if the host doesn't have it unlocked. 3. Clients will receive a copy of all the resources the host is producing on the current map, distributed to all their sectors. If they do not have space for the materials anywhere, they won't get any. 4. Clients will be able to research new tech in multiplayer, even if it depends on technology that only the host has. The item cost will be taken from their local inventory - not from the host. For example, if the host has unlocked the Scorch but the client has not, the client will still be able to research the Arc turret, which normally would require researching the Scorch. In doing so, they will unlock the Scorch as well, to prevent random tech tree gaps. This system is not particularly intuitive, but it's probably better than the current state of co-op.
