When you FINALLY give in to peer pressure... 

Day 157 of asking Matt to play Mindustry. Finally... after all these days, months, he played it, words can not express how happy and grateful we are for this. May Mindustry be part of your channel, and thank you for playing it. We are happy and thankful for this. We thank you, Matt. And thank you for mentioning me. (Also part 2 when?)

I love how you can tell he’s failed the second level at least once because the ghost buildings show where you’ve built before

"I need more silicon" words of a true mindustry player

Hopefully this turns into a series. I’m glad that dude was so persistent.

he just started the game and he’s already suffering from silicon deficiency, they grow up so fast!

I hope this becomes a series, Mindustry is one of my favorite indie titles, and its getting criminally little attention.

EVERYONE WOULD LOVE AN EPISODE 2! Loved seeing you play my favourite game!

Putting in a line of scatters without connecting the line of lead to them, classic matt, classic honestly

This is probably going to be drowned out, but there's a few things that are helpful to know about the game 1. Enemies will always choose the quickest path and the one with the least walls 2. Turrets can use different types of ammo and they give different buffs like more damage 3. In the first few sectors you can literally just drag a line of routers with turrets next to it and walls but this will be very inneficient and shouldnt be used later on. 4. The recourses in the research tree are combined from all sectors and are spent (sectors also generate resources while you are in other sectors) 5. It's pretty helpful checking the ratio of how many recourse a factory takes and how much your belts can transport for peak efficiency 6. Instead of building little coal generators everywhere, make one coal node your power production with batteries and supply the rest of the map via power nodes. Later on theres also some better power generators 7. You don't have to manually replace everything that has been destroyed, there is a tool where you can just drag and click and it will rebuild destroyed buildings. you can activate it by holding "B" (PC) or using copy+paste and then selecting the repair tool (Mobile) (If anyone knows more tips, tell me)

Mindustry gets insane in the later levels. Fun fact, its also an open source game. Missed opportunity to tell the audience about another kind of engineer a software engineer and open source. Which is super important.

When i saw he made so many drills for copper to only supply one duo, I died on the inside.

Ive played a lot of mindustry in the past! Its SUPER fun, im glad you finally gave it a go! It may seem overwhelming at first but when you start getting into the pace of it its a really cool game especially with how creative you can get with it in terms of how you want to build and such.

Kudos to the guy that waited 157 days for RCE to play Mindustry!!!

Oh my god he actually did it. Never did I think he’d listen to that commenter. Bet the guy is so happy now😆

Anyone else have a physical feeling of dread when you hear Matt talk about conveyor belts? Getting Satisfactory PTSD... Awesome vid! Definitely want to see more of this one.

it's quite lovely how a new player tries mindustry xD you got even lucky with picking the one sector next to the base who isn't hard difficult quite even lucky as silicon is reserved for the 3rd named sector now some basic tips: spacebar is usual to pause, that helps to look around as the time doesn't run away it is usual enough to just 1 big wall against the spawn, if the spawn has multiple ways, then make one way your defense way with your turrets and the rest with multiple thicc walls of the big ones, important is, that the second ways take longer to go specially later if you get better generator it is the best to make a dedicated energy area as later one you even need special material for it, like water or pyrite it is worth checking your turrets what for material you can give as it makes a difference if you use graphit instead of copper for yoru duos about produktion - try to make various factories next to each other, like multiple graphit presses next to each other so you can use up more of the ressources

As an experienced Mindustry player: a little tip against air units: The smallest enemy attacks generators, the tier 2 attacks factories. And should you face the tier 3: it attacks 'containers'. Thus the tip: You can use these blocks as bait. And if you don't have any of these, they just go for your core.

I almost had a heart attack when you tried mixing the sand and coal on the same belt! You have no idea how large of a bullet you dodged there

never heard of this channel before, but this showed up as recommended. I’m fascinated! would love to see a part 2!!

Seven tips: 1. Yes, resource ores are indeed infinite. 2. As other commenters have pointed out, you can hold down... I think it was B. You can hold B and drag a box to automatically queue up rebuilding destroyed buildings. You can also hold F iirc to drag a box around something you've created and save it as a *Schematic.* You'll find these very useful later. 3. The main sectors (such as Frozen Forest) can be launched to from anywhere, you don't have to manually make your way through the numbered sectors to get to them. Note that the numbered sectors can get really hard, really fast if you aren't careful. Focus on the named sectors first, as that's what most of your Research will be locked behind other than resources. 4. The Graphite Smelter converts Coal into Graphite at no power cost. You can use this for more advanced buildings and units, along with better turret ammo. Perhaps most notably, you can use it for the Pneumatic Drill, a drill that's just a solid all-around upgrade to the Mechanical Drill and takes up no extra space, drilling faster and capable of mining better resources. You can place these directly over your Mechanical Drills to upgrade them, you don't need to deconstruct them first. 5. Once you have access to the Pneumatic Drill, you can use it to mine Titanium. This is also used for a number of advanced buildings and units, but its best use in my opinion is the Titanium Conveyor, a conveyor belt that transports items at 2.75x the speed of a normal one. Very useful. Like with Pneumatic Drills, you can place these directly on top of your normal Conveyors to upgrade them without needing to deconstruct them first. 6. On Ground Zero, you built a bridge over your conveyors and did a Bridge Review. This was unnecessary. You do not need to bridge over conveyors, a simple Junction will do. Additionally, if you simply just drag a line of conveyors, the game will do whatever it can to get through any obstacles (including your buildings and other conveyors) without leaving the line you're dragging, be it by placing Junctions or Bridge Conveyors. Those Bridge Conveyors can also bridge over up to three tiles of natural terrain if you haven't already figured that out. 7. Be mindful of your resources when building defenses. Turrets tend to be expensive and use up a lot of resources very quickly when you're building them.

I hope this performs well for RCE- I don't know that I've ever actually bothered to watch anyone play Mindustry, but it's definitely a favorite on my own Steam account. I'd love to see him get to wrap his head around some of the more complex builds and see what sort of chaos gets produced as a result.

Just some tips 1- you can press B button for auto repair 2- focus on the main sectors so you can unlock useful things 3- you can stack routers and place duos all around them 4- every time you loss you always get better next time :D

YES!!! thank you for giving in to peer pressure haha this is my favorite game! Im like one of 3 people who stream this game on twitch so im glad its getting attention from a larger audience!!

Hey dude! as a player thats been playing for a quite a while, i have lots of advice! 1.) you can make a line of routers(overflow. gates or even underflow gates if tou want) and put turrets next to tthe line of routers, underflow gates, or overflowgates(and you can use it also for combustion generators) 2.) Titainium can be mined using another drill(which also mines faster), you are correct the new drill needs graphite and to capture forzen forest 3.) drills minung resources are permenent, they dont ever run out! 4.) you can use junctions instead of bridges to go through other lines conveyer belts 5.) enemies will try to find the easiest route to your base, you can do a lot witj thus information such as herding the enemies to your turets 6.) You can pause the game and still be able to place what ever! 7.) enjoy the game, i would say you only expeirenced 6% of this game and what it has ro offer, it is a pond as deep as hollow earth, witj so many nuances ans sich amazing game designs, so rake your time, and enjoy the game! i hope you found my tios useful, if you do plan to uploud part 2 (i cant wait!) i will be sure to give some more advice that helped me go through the game but only enough so i wont spoil what possibilities you can explore or encounter!

Matt: blocks the path in a turret defense game, aggroing the mobs to go just through Also Matt: I had no idea, like, how much I had to focus on defenses *surprised pikachu face*

The memories of me playing this game is just awesome pls make this a series because this game does not get easy

Oh my gosh! I'm so happy this game is getting attention! It's one of my favorites and never seems to get enough attention on youtube. Underrated!

I absolutely love this game! Great to see you play it! :D A few tips: If you're struggling to unlock more techs, then focus on completing the actual campaign quests. "Frozen Forest" was the 2nd campaign level, and would have likely been easier than the sector you did with the titanium on. Also, the ground resources do not run out. They are infinite. This was likely already obvious, but more of the resource tiles under a drill make it drill faster. Lastly, I would recommend that whenever you capture a sector, you focus on maximising your resource production. You will need a LOT of resources.

For the enemies to not go around, you can make a tunnel in your defenses where enemies MUST go, and since it's an open route, their stupid ai will go there. But be sure to block the other routes with a few blocks

Good job! I hope to see more mindustry from you, since not many people are covering the game blind.

Love to see this game on the channel! Also, I think RCE might be the only person ever to make "decent!" sound as enthusiastic as "awesome!", despite feeling more like a word for "kinda works", I love it xD Is that a regional thing? Don't think I've ever heard it from anyone else, British included.

Tip: all factories have an "inventory". They can fill up. For example, silicon smelters can only hold 10 coal, and then wont accept any more and can clog up belts

i have actually gotten really addicted to mindustry again and it's been so fun i'm happy that more people are enjoying the game it's an amazing game

As someone who used to play Mindustry this video had many facepalm moments

18:46 "there's so many turrets" while i have a wall of turrets

YES HE FINALLY PLAYS MINDUSTRY, I can’t wait for mindustry to increase in player numbers..

As someone who got into Mindustry ages ago but then kind of lost touch, I'd definitely like to see you play more of it.

Really loved the episode! A part 2 would be awesome

Important tip: Press b and drag a square to paint destroyed structures for automatic rebuilding, it saves you loads of time. You can even do that to rebuild defenses when trying to retake a lost sector, but it is good to use pause and go through the design because obviously that one didn't work so you want to delete stuff like turrets that were in the wrong place so your units don't get stuck rebuilding them instead of finishing your new defenses. For example, you might bring in titanium from another sector to build a scrap recycling operation that will give you titanium and thorium when those cannot be mined on that sector, but the old infrastructure you rebuild used titanium conveyors so after rebuilding them you are out of titanium.

YES!!! Love to see you playing this game! It can get super complex but that’s part of the fun! Please play more

This is awesome, hoping this becomes a series. The game really does get complicated

I was wondering when youd check this out. Glad to see you finally have. And would like to see you play this a bit more once youve gotten a better understanding of how things work. Would be really cool to see what kinds of factories and defenses youll come up with.

it was fun to watch lol! series would be much appreciated!

Finally! Great video would love to see more Mindustry!

aaaaa I love Mindustry! but, RCE, my man, my homie, my guy, my pal, did no one tell you to hit the space bar yet? Mindustry can be paused, and you can continue to plan your builds while it is paused. Huuuugely important mechanic which will take a lot of the stress out of the gameplay. Such a fun game, and very distinct from Factorio due to the lack of inserters, intermediate products, and science packs. That is, resources directly translate to new tech in this game. I would encourage you to learn about and make heavy use of the different bots asap, since those are really the backbone of your entire strategy in the mid-lategame. Also, try to wait to launch until your core is full of all the resources you want to bring with you, that way you have a big head start in new regions.

As a mindustry player, it is really fun to watch matt play ! I would really like an episode 2 😁

This was so painful, like reliving something. I will definitely watch this progress.

A common trait of indie games as wide as an ocean and as deep as a puddle and there's mindustry which is a bucket where an Eldredge god hides

Yes, play more of this!! It was fun to watch

This is one of my favorite games! Please keep going with that one! I'm sure you'll like it!

That’s crazy. Was playing this while scrolling RU-vid. This is awesome

Mindustry is one of my favourite games and this was super fun to watch! Hope to see a part 2

Rce, a few tips, the number of ore tiles your miner is over calculates how efficent it is and how fast it drils. Next. Enamys follow the path of least resistence wall wise Ground units go for your core Air units target your resource producers. Your running out of copper because your ammo convators are also a output of copper your supose to utalize. This system is an example of overflow. When your miners cant produce more ammo. Route access ammo to your core to use as resources.

Lol, never hooked up the scatters in the first level to the lead belts actually. And resources are infinite, but space isn't infinite. Not terrible for first time. Biggest piece of advice is to use some batteries and power nodes to move power rather than just generating power locally. Looking forward to you figuring out some better effiencies with production.

Im so happy that your playing mindustry. It's not a unknown game but it certainly needs more attention. I'm just happy someone like you is playing it

Finally! Praying for this to become a series!

I so happy there's finally a new mindustry youtuber! Been waiting for this for forever

The pain, when he didn’t hook up his scatter guns

6:00 Thank you editor. It’s nice to know someone else shares in my pain

Love this I've been waiting for you to play something like this

Hoping for a series!

FINALLY HE DID IT

Definitely need to see more!!!

It would be amazing for there to be a whole playlist full of mindustry!

Oh perfect! I just played this recently

I have watched it already. I am just addicted to watching RCE. Love your Videos!

I’ve seen all the comments every single day for the past half year now, and can safely say I didn’t even bother looking up the game once… But dang, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t just buy it because of this video! Looks addicting

I can only imagine how happy homie felt not only getting to see the game he wanted to see, but also get a subtle shoutout

I've always wanted to ask him to play this game but figured the chances were very low. THANK YOU whoever you are for going day by day and asking him to play this. You are my hero!

I can see this being a series, it’s got all the dopamine drops we come here for! 😂

"Why am i not getting any copper?" Literally routing nearly 95% of copper miners routed to turrets and not the core... xD

Definitely want to see more!

This game looks pretty fun i sure hope RCE plays more of it

I am so upset that the fact that he never fed any lead into his scatter guns, and just routed the conveyers behind, never came up at all lol. I was just sitting there screaming at my screen

i love mindustry, please make more

Yep, definitely need a part 2! 👍

if you make a line of routers you can just place turrets attached to them instead of using multiple conveyors, so you can have a more compact defense. Also enemies will attack the way with the weakest walls, so you can make one really strong wall and then a weak one and they will always go for the weak one and ignore the strong one, you can use this to make the enemies attack a specific wall

You're awesome for delivering on this

I would love to see more of this

This takes me back

By the way, when your defense gets destroyed, you can use the B key to rebuild it :)

Nice rce finally listened to his fans

Omg mindustry game play! I love this game. I was never expecting to see this on RU-vid, you have a new fan now!

This was great. Can't wait for more mindustry

He didn't bulid a router chain :_(

Wow, you finally played this game, salute to the guy who was posting

Hoping this will return. It was fun to watch!

YESSS keep playing mindustry this game is so fun and i loved this video

Finally, you should play it with multiple people its so fun

This is easily one of the most mind-boggling games, and, as others have pointed out, it gets completely insane as you progress. As many hours as I have on this game, I have not yet completed even a single planet.

A trick I used a lot for the silicon was routers and junctions set up diagonally (think chessboard white = router, black = Junction) you have that setup in a 2x2,4,6,8, etc and have one block conveyor leading to a silicon smelter, then link the end to a feed of sand and coal and you get perfect distribution. Also lining turrets and routers is good too.

5:10 HIS SCATTERS WEREN'T EVEN RECIEVING THE LEAD 😭😭

Finally! RCE actually plays a game I have on my phone! It's great, I love it, and it's available on F-droid as well! THIS IS SO EPIC!

He listened finally

Not sure if I've ever commented on a video before but I'd really love to see this one go into rotation. So much potential.

finally matt! please make a series out of this game! seriously we would all love this

you should definitely play it more :)

Find someone to play this with, Biffa maybe? This gets hard and if you like problem solving very very fun.

Please turn this into a series!

Another couple of tips, upgrade your miners as the basic ones are super slow. Also you can deposit resources into the tech tree when you select a tech and press unlock, it will use your available resources to reduce the requirements to unlock
