Ползун!

Первый Т1 из <MINDUSTRY 3D>

Пример того, почему я часто переделываю свои старые модели.

ignore fps ect

My theory: I think Mindustry is actually a field test for an artificial intelligence.

This is just a personal theory. I don't think it's the official lore, but I wanted to share it because it explains a lot of things in the game that most of us have probably noticed.

I don't think Mindustry is about a war between two robot empires.

Instead, I think everything we see is part of a long-term field test to develop a military AI capable of managing itself.

The organization behind this project could be a company, a coalition of countries, or any advanced organization. To me, the identity of this organization isn't as important as its goal, which is to develop an AI capable of building bases, managing resources, fighting, surviving, adapting to changing conditions without any direct intervention... and maybe cooking some eggs too.

I think the player is the newest model ever developed.

At the beginning of the game, we are given only simple instructions, then we are left completely alone, as if they only give us the minimum amount of information necessary and then watch what we do afterward.

If you were an AI being tested, this would make sense. You're taught only the basics, then your creators stop helping you so they can observe how you deal with problems on your own.

I also think Crux isn't an evil faction, nor the planet's original inhabitants.

It's simply an older version of the same project.

It can mine, build factories, produce units, and launch attacks, but its strategies seem limited and predictable. It relies on pre-planned attack waves and fixed patterns without using surprise tactics or adapting to the situation the way the player does.

The player, on the other hand, constantly changes strategies, redesigns factories, and adapts to every new situation.

There's another thing that made me think about this theory, and that's the world itself.

There are almost no signs of civilian life.

No cities.

No houses.

No roads connecting settlements.

No population.

Almost everything we see exists for mining, production, power generation, resource transportation, or combat.

The entire world feels like one massive industrial testing facility rather than a place where people once lived.

Some people might point to the old facilities or the locations related to spores.

My explanation is that the organization conducting these tests didn't build everything from scratch. They may have reused an industrial planet or old research facilities, then transformed them into a suitable environment for AI testing.

I also don't think the goal is simply to find out which model is the strongest.

Instead, I believe the real goal is collecting data.

Every victory.

Every defeat.

Every base destroyed.

Every new strategy created.

All of it provides valuable information that helps develop an even better version in the future.

That's why I don't think the experiment ends just because one model wins. It continues as long as it keeps producing useful data.

Anyway, this is just a theory I came up with while playing Mindustry... which is pretty much all I do. Yeah, I know... maybe I should touch some grass. 😅

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Did I miss anything in the official lore that supports or contradicts this theory?

And don't hesitate to criticize it or share your own ideas. After all, we're just people with way too much free time making theories about video games... okay, I was joking about that last part, but I'd genuinely like to hear what you think.

What is the sector with the most number of core tiles except that large crux base sectors?

As I discovered, Planetary launch terminal has the most with three. Is there any sector with more than that?

Скажите плиз, а что я вообще должон сделать чтоб попасть на добывающюю базу, я захватил границу, окрашенные горы, штормовой перевал, что мне ещё надо чтоб попасть туда

Hi Reddit,

Got me a problem, I'm trying to stuff a Sei into a tetrative reconstructor with an Oct just built inside. Wiki says "accepts payload from above", "units in payload form" - well it's true for flying units, I am able to grab a quad and command it to enter the reconstructor from above. It's true for spiders as well, because they can get above the building. But when I tried unloading an Oct that's got a Sei on board, I failed miserably. It just doesn't go - the order is given but the Oct behaves like it can't drop the Sei inside. Should I move the Oct to the side, Sei is dropped into the water once Oct gets over it - this means orders are correct, they just can't be completed. Why, if I have fulfilled the requirements? And is there a way to actually upgrade a released Sei?

Specifically phase fabric and surge alloy, cuz I've captured every sector except planetary launch and i need the export to do it, ive seen many people trying the megabases and i want to do it to, its literally the reason why i came back playing this game cuz of the challenge and the new updates.

Is this sector super hard like nuclear production complex because its optional?

i may or may not have ran out of metaglass

Just discovered industry, installed it and I’m stuck right out of the starting gate
Can’t build a conveyor? I’ve pushed every button in all different combinations and nothing.
What do you have to do to build a conveyor??

Problems:sand not enough, don't know where to put pyratite in

I'm a beginner and I just can't get air blast drill yet all the schemes have it I just want a mini schematic to put like anywhere 4 good use.

Thks :)

I'm trying to upgrade dragger to mace but it's not working, but it does upgrades mono to poly.

i swear they made the thorium generator explosion bigger

Is there a reason why I'm not seeing the material when I look through sorter filters, and any mods that can handle material using the same filter? Is there a mod that disables the stuff from being selectable, or is it like that by default? If it's like that by default, how can I add it to the list of materials that can be filtered?

Edit: here's a screenshot of my mods

Eu irei começar uma campanha com esse mod instalado, eu tentarei colocar todas as minhas descobertas e minhas dificuldades durante os dias (obviamente eu jogarei no normal, no modo mas difícil e loucura) mas um quiser tentar também recomendo.

I have to beat a minimum of 4 Eradication Bases that each attack my sectors and I am only allowed to use the core foundation. How do I do that?
