MODERATORS
Currently playing Mindustry, a factory management tower defense game. Very addicting. It’s free on flathub
Are you playing it with the onboard controls? Do you have any recommendations for making it feel better?
I want to get into Mindustry but the basic movement controls of the ship just don't feel inspired to me in the base game at least with the starting ship. I mean it makes sense, the focus is more on tower defense and automation, but is there a modpack or something that focuses the gameplay a bit more on the ship movement and combat?
Do you have any other advice for playing Mindustry on the Steam Deck? Which kinds of levels are best to start with and what kind of control scheme do you like?
I play with the built in controls, I use a slightly modified version of the mouse profile. I constantly switch between touch screen and trackpad control and I personally don’t have a problem with it.
I don’t think there are any mods that revamp the ship. The ship isn’t really that important for the game. In the mobile version the ship just flies on its own
I personally would start with planet erekir, it focuses less on defense and more on producing and commanding troops. Also I really recommend pvp.
