Mindustry GitHub Overview: How Factory Logistics, Power, and M-Log Fit Together
mindustry by anuken: anuken/mindustry
Mindustry is a Java sandbox factory-automation and tower-defense RTS engine. This overview connects the anuken/mindustry repository's desktop build architecture with the first layers of in-game automation: JDK 17 and Gradle, generated Java code, mechanical drills, conveyor routing, routers, coal-fired power, wireless power nodes, turrets, schematics, and Mindustry Logic (M-Log). It shows how a simple extraction loop can expand into programmable processors that sense buildings, direct units, and run conditional operations. The focus is the relationship between source architecture and factory systems, not a step-by-step installation checklist.
TimeStamps:
0:00 Mindustry's Factory-Strategy Foundation
0:29 Desktop Build Context and JDK 17
1:09 Gradle Generation and Runtime Hurdles
2:23 Drill-to-Core Logistics
3:15 Coal Power and Wireless Distribution
4:09 Schematics and M-Log
4:56 Logic Beyond Conveyor Belts
🧱 Java 17, Gradle, and generated source
⛏️ Drills, conveyors, routers, and Core logistics
⚡ Combustion power, nodes, and turret networks
🧠 Schematics and M-Log automation
Mindustry's layers compound: source-generated systems support a factory game where physical item routing and wireless power become the foundation for logic-driven automation. The repository gives developers a concrete way to explore Java, Gradle, schematics, processors, and programmable factory design in one open-source project.

Mindustry: The automation tower defense RTS, written in Java (29.3k stars)
What it does
All text below is quoted directly from the project README.
>The automation tower defense RTS, written in Java.
Building:
>Bleeding-edge builds are generated automatically for every commit.
>If you'd rather compile on your own, follow these instructions.
- Running: ./gradlew desktop:run
- Building: ./gradlew desktop:dist
- Sprite Packing: ./gradlew tools:pack
Server:
>Server builds are bundled with each released build (in Releases). If you'd rather compile on your own, replace 'desktop' with 'server', e.g. gradlew server:dist.
>After building, the output .JAR file should be in /desktop/build/libs/Mindustry.jar for desktop builds, and in /server/build/libs/server-release.jar for server builds.
