What is Mindustry?

Mindustry combines factory building with tower defense and real-time strategy. Conveyor belts move resources through production lines so you can make construction materials and keep turrets supplied with ammunition. The challenge is to maintain that supply network while enemy waves attack your structures.

A map editor and cross-platform multiplayer provide ways to build and fight beyond solo play, including large-scale PvP unit battles. Multiplayer devices need to run the same game version.

This download is the publisher’s desktop Mindustry.jar release, not the Windows ZIP package offered on itch.io. Use a Java runtime for the JAR. The publisher also offers a paid Steam edition with achievements and Steam multiplayer and Workshop integration; those Steam-specific features are not part of this standalone download.

What it offers

  • Build conveyor-belt supply chains for turret ammunition and construction materials.
  • Defend factory structures against waves of enemies.
  • Create maps with the built-in map editor.
  • Play cross-platform multiplayer and large-scale PvP unit battles.

Good to know

  • Cross-platform multiplayer requires all participating devices to use the same game version.
  • The standalone download does not include Steam-specific achievements, Steam multiplayer or Workshop integration.
  • The linked desktop JAR needs Java; it is not the Windows ZIP package with a launcher.
