Mindustry Defense Tips and Tricks

[@nyuuni0121]

As a returning Mindustry Veteran. I'd say that this video is very helpful when you're beginner or a returning player! And as always, Merry Christmas to everyone!(Ik it's not yet Christmas in other places)

[@francesco5440]

I'm in Italy, doing a countdown lol

[@wierdzbean1005]

I'm not finished fungal pass :/ Though it was easy

[@LazyFrog789]

Merry Christmas! Srry I’m a year late

[@umbranox6891]

probably one of the biggest jump to defensive power I made was when I switched from using distributors to using containers with unloaders for feeding ammo to my turrets. with distributors, it's very easy to cut off the ammo source (usually a single destroyed conveyer, or the distributer itself) to deactivate a large number of turrets in a sustained attack. however, huddling a few turrets around a container gives a very steady supply of ammo to a large number of turrets, keeps up with the firing speed much easier, and allows for a much longer sustained fire. the much larger health pool of a container ensures its a far less likely point of critical failure that when using distributers

[@shadowhuntz1012]

A thing I learned from pain was that the enemy AI is lazy and will take the easy path, for example if there are two paths that lead to your core, and one is thick and the other one is thin, the enemy will go the "thin" way, so be careful.

[@Daniel-ek5sh]

Same, when there's a good defence spot i block all the other entrances with double walls and the stop with a single one so the AI comes to the spot

[@whyamihere2796]

Cryofluid is honestly just the best defence tip i find. It fuels meltdowns, it works really well with blast compound, it slows down enemies, and it even is used for thorium/differential/impact reactors. many possible and cool combinations.

[@kebertxela941]

lol,cool combinations.

[@DavidNasr]

Polys are truly the best. First thing I make when I play a new sector/base. Not only do they help rebuild when you lose a sector, they also make building anything so much faster because all of them help you build it at once. Polys are god-sent.

[@im_Snas]

Unlike monos that players just waste resources for in multiplayer campaign maps

[@egornick9206]

About building drones... I rebuilt a defense on ruins of previous one and then added these drones. THEY STARTED REPAIRING OLD DEFENCE AND THAT DESTROYED MY NEW SCHEMATICS!!

[@wingidon]

Yeah, a lot of the time when I try to capture a sector for the second time, I just build some Polys and a bunch of resource drills flowing to my core, and the Polys rebuild the parts that got destroyed while I focus on defending.

[@d4r4butler74]

Thank you! Showing what is meant is helpful. I have a better understanding of Funneling the Enemy now. And why my Power Generators are always getting swarmed.

[@craftlofer9974]

5:18 something very lazy i do but somehow destroyed a whole eclipse alone is i put alot of menders and walls near the base, put some fuse and when a boss comes there i keep shooting him with units while he is trying to destroy the core that is constantly healing rapidly, not the best way to solve it but once if the boss crossed all your defenses and you can't build turrets because of time you can try doing it

[@minchai2943]

I just learned the gen and extra defence that's it and is gud thx

[@perplexive7736]

I use meltdowns right in front of a line of enemies to pierce all of them at the same time. Tsunamis also hold off powerful air units like antumbras on sector 226, allowing for my meltdown to stop them. They also stop eclipses from rushing my thorium reactors and helps the spectres in holding them off.

[@neijrr]

Another tip: Surprisingly, armored conveyors have more armor that titanium conveyors. The reasoning behind this fact of game is unknown, but it is recomended to utilize their larger health pool to make sure that ammo is delivered to turrets Tldr: put armor conveyors on defences shitlips

[@yuridc1780]

wow, surprising how an ARMORED conveyor has more ARMOR!

[@Ecthelion-]

That's actually crazy

[@im_Snas]

Armoured conveyors are more armoured cause it needs thorium and plastanium while titanium conveyor needs just tiranium-lead-copper

[@louiedavid681]

Dark air units will not just aim for power source they also aim storages and factories

[@distributor1994]

Placing a foreshadow near the core should be extremely painful to deal with *(oh wait what if theres a pack of daggers)*

[@mrnorthz9373]

Ripple rush like the good ol days

[@gaminggod8496]

I used a narrow path and using slag and coal and setup some conveyors so when they explode they set fire on coal it was so helpful and taking down bombers and nova waves easily. (in early and mid game this strategy is op)

[@kevinduliesco5468]

Starting again at Mindustry and playing all low maps available

[@seriatekata2375]

This is very helpful for me as I made a scrap mega complex near the craters and made it to wave 56 before dying to a vela (also that sector was a medium threat IDK HOW THO A FREAKING VELA SPAWNED probably cuz it was next to an enemy base)

[@tomzeru]

Nice video ! I learned cool things, now can you do a guide for beginners on how to use drone ? (to help mine, to help build, fleet to attack.. ?)

[@LowJackAP]

2:10 3-5 line wall will typically be enough to detour mechs away from vulnerable entries similarly if you can't help but layer up your defenses then keeping a empty spot (ground for them to step on) every 3 or so blocks like a path will guide them more or less where you want them to go as long as the other entries are as dense (this also works well if you want to split them up into more manageable groups) so if mechs are your problem don't be afraid to layer up those turrets :)

[@jmzgms]

thanks so much bro i got way better in mindustry because of this video,it helped me really much and it helped me capture most of serpulo👌also can u do a tutorial on how to get ores and liquids quicker?

[@ekrankartii]

putting electric turrets near the enemy's potential path is actually good thing to do, because they do good damage and no need to conveyoring, just put some near a node and it's good to go.

[@slomow-1540]

2:00 instead of making hole , you can manipulate the ai to take path you wanted by making giant block of wall

[@quartzlandaker5664]

You do need to have your funnel of defense on the shortest "as the bird flies" route to your base if you want the enemies that can walk over stuff to be hit by your defenses

[@dangductran2926]

Additional tip: Always have force projector in the back of your defense. Your walls might not need it much but your conveyors and power nodes do. Put scatter near every lead source you can find. It helps with flying units. Always have one or two repair points/turrets near your defense. In case your polies and megas got hurt. Always make mega. These guys will help find any damaged build you didn't noticed. Help finding week spots in the defense. 250% build speed too. Segment usually not worth it. It't never hurt making attack units, even in defense map. They can save you when there is no backup defense. Always make waves and tsunami near buildings that can catch fire.

[@zenithFTW]

I knew everything you said already, but still nice video! For me personally, Swarmer and Meltdown take care of everything. Swarmer for the waves, meltdowns+cryo for the bosses. Also, if someone read this, who meets like an Eradication level, they just get annoyed by, or maybe reach too high waves when getting attacked; build a basic defense(if you didnt already) and just keep building, after you kill all enemies, before you reach a wave you cant handle(probably before i guardian wave) save and quit, copy the map save file; abandon map and copy the old map save back in, you will have your map and start at wave 1 again. Its save scumming, but since some maps are kinda unbalanced; this was keeping it "fair" for me. I forgot to say; if you didnt know already; Phase walls reflect bullets and Plastanium walls stop the boss beam attacks. Those 2 are basically the only walls i use now. Phase in front and plastinium in the back, behind that a row of meltdowns and behind those a 2 rows of swarmers, ofc the heal things and shield generators.

[@thatonedooofus1251]

Quick tip for people, ememys go for the weakest wall, this means you can funnel them down into one area. Hope this helps👍

[@illhark]

I'm just starting out and I learned several nice tips from this video. Cheers

[@zuppermark8196]

Thanks 😊

[@kiro4279]

Polysus are my all time favorite I can't go to a new area without setting one up they save a lot of time and my mental health

[@kiro4279]

You're character literally made me subscribe from first video

[@dwightlumain8645]

Very helpful for a veteran

[@Yan-fh5ub]

Use factory and generators to bait because t2 flare don’t target the generators

[@kiwi9065]

Don't make a gaping hole in your walls! Just make the walls that you want the enemy to target thinner than the rest. The enemy would target the middle of your wall where it's thinner and therefore you can basically control where they go to

[@fishstick1900]

Gaping holes make them spread firepower on the entire hallway tho. Also it means you can have turrets on both sides instead of just in front of them and forces them to go into range of short range turrets like Fuse.

[@kiwi9065]

@@fishstick1900 it would become a problem if the firepower of your defenses aren't enough to stop the enemies, who will walk through the hallway

[@dangductran2926]

​@@kiwi9065usually on campaign there won't be waves that turrets can't defense. Unless you constantly lose a vulnerable sector and got to wave 200+. On servers, hole in the defense only mean death.

[@snowfish7294]

great tip use 20 med projectors on 3 layers of walls with lots of ripples

[@sheepriderkiller1181]

i have 2 tips 1: use stronger ammo like pyratite because ammo most of the time matter more than the turret ex: salvo with pyratite/thorium 2 robots can sometimes be a good defense like a bunch of daggers, robots don't cost ammo and take less space so you can make them grouped+until tier 3 you got enough variation to have about 40 units defending

[@singularitytr1550]

Biggest pain in mindustry higher tier defending buildings require better materials which are slower to make and take multiple resources to make.

[@koyfish6116]

I used to be (and still am) such a mindustry noob that I put the first type of generator on the coal I would put them directly on the coal lol.

[@renerichter4609]

I allready formed paths and it is cool air units hunt generators

[@carlico1]

Im gonna use these tips tor the tar fields

[@jonatankami4843]

Nice vídeo!!!!!

[@conquerofgames8504]

1 example is 5 layers of junctions to 1 layer of surge walls and they pick the shortest in term of distance

[@rielsearch304]

Nice

[@goodolarchie]

2:00 the hole doesn't even have to be that giant... technically one open tile is an opening. And in the early game before you have good scale and range, you can create a nice little maze like a proper tower defense game.

[@susamogus7170]

You can use containers to lure atumbruhs and eclipses wich helps sometimes

[@lazrustosadow5880]

Thank you

[@slicenjiotaku2443]

Great video but i will still focus my defense cause i too lazy

[@soacespacestation8556]

Surprised the video is not the viewed even though I came back here a few hours ago

[@keimitsuo05]

Gonna 1v1 my friend tomorrow cause we betted on smth, wish me luck. Also this helped

[@kevinduliesco5468]

Do the mend projectors automatically rebuild stuff?!

[@xaphiron]

No, but it heals allied structures

[@vascofernandes295]

slag+oil is the best combo, and you do not even need towers to defend, only pipes

[@idiot7967]

wow pretty cool tips

[@banananinjaturtle7831]

Omg tysm

[@aliest2222]

I use Scorch 🔥

[@kevinduliesco5468]

Me who always uses wall and protects my conveyors no matter what

[@AndreizyruzVergara]

ripple blast compond + croyofluid

[@barsozuguler4300]

2;00 he goes for ottoman tactics

[@elainachan-gd4491]

Guys arc+water defense guys maybe effect on low treath level

[@gambaru55]

uh well i used maze to defend against enemy.... it kinda work until that frick guy (Toxopid) just skip my maze like nothing

[@exspectre9163]

Me who build giant hole in the middle: The spoder:

[@e7plays263]

I just realized it's so similar and the same mechanics of Rusted Warfare do you know that or now haha🤣🤣😅

[@user-mc4ef6op9g]

Averege mindustry noob scrollering through his video

[@ninguem718]

first to say first

[@rdtripler5604]

Really..!!?? *AntumBRUH* I personally am a fan of using auto-activatating Overdrive Domes... They make spectre go brrrr... And also Foreshadows benefit a lot from being overdriven...

[@deadmemegamming]

is it "mind-dustry" because I have been calling it "Min-dustry" all this time. oh well I guess I am dumb.

[@sloanekuria3249]

I also say M-industry and I think we're right! 😁

[@finaltheory778]

Dark, you accidentally typed the to 'thy' in 2nd trick

[@DARK0717]

thy means your... thy = your, if english isnt ur first language, thy is like a very old way of saying your, mostly from the Bible if im not mistaken

[@kevinduliesco5468]

Btw is there a way to transfer resources after capture?

[@minecrafting_il]

Between sectors? use launch pads.

[@Chezguy847]

Router chainnn
