Mindustry: an extremely high quality (and difficulty) FOSS tower defense game (github.com)

I thought this game was well known but I haven't seen almost any mentions of it recently. It's very weird for a FOSS enthusiast not to advertise one of the best open-source games of all time so here I am trying to make it spoken about again.

Disclaimer: this game may be addictive for some individuals. Player discretion is advised. If you notice any symptoms of addiction while and/or after playing the game, stop playing immediately and consult with your doctor. Untreated gaming addiction may result in severe consequences such as digestive disorders, social behavioral disorders, loss of job, and depression.

To be fair I tried it due to this post and I've already removed it, it does nit do a good job of teaching new players what they are meant to be doing.

I won't be too hard on it because I assume there's a good game in there but yeah presumably you already need to know factorio or whatever it's called.

I've never played Factorio and had fun playing the game. I think there is supposed to be a tutorial when you first start the game? And I think the tech tree is a good guide for what to do next.

I played it for a few hours a while back, it was alright. It also took me a couple of times to get into factorio so I can understand. Still prefer factorio though, great art style, incredibly polished game.
