# All is Done
well... not quite 
I've decided to stop tweaking the hjson version but ill probably still help bugfix. 
I got inspired off watching a video about Factorio Seablock (specifically from Dosh, I love Dosh) to just embrace the beans and move on

# Damit it's another one of those huge scope mindustry mod projects made by some guy in school isn't it.

As with most mods, Meld is more of a combat sim than a pure RTS/TDS/factory building mod.

If you're looking for masochistic gregory levels of tech, Meld may stil scratch that itch, but not to the same level as Complicatedustry. 
If you're looking for a mod where hundreds upon hundreds of enemies get vaporized, Meld can do that. 
If you're looking for a mod which encourages tactical positioning, unit micro and dynamic encounters, Meld does that too. 
If you're looking for a mod which encourages macro then, uh... working on that in the java version:tm:

I've learned my lesson from working on huge scope Java mods, while I was still learning the language and dealing with burnout. I've decided to start "simple" this time.

What you'll find here might be surprising. 
"It's all Hjson?" 
"no, got a bit of python too" 
"Wh-"

I've used python to generate hjson for *SOME* turret parts (Tantrum was done manually), feel free to look through the files if you're unsure.

Im planning to port the mod off hjson after I finish up some spritework and give the current version some extra QoL tweaks.
World processors have proven to be a pain to maintain across multiple maps, and I just have bigger ideas than hjson can provide currently.

# Onto the actual reason you're reading these obnoxiously long headers

I want to put a catchy slogan like "Meld puts the strategy in RTS". But no.

This isn't a very formal mod. It's a goofy experience which makes me want to chew my nails off when I lose to the damm bugs during playtesting.
The gamelpay style has pretty much solidified during the course of its months long development time, incorperating or revising elements that I personally found fun about Mindustry like the core unit.

Meld is **currently** a unique blend of: 
 - Pure PVE-focused design 
 - Tower defense-like design for enemy units (I love it when an enemy unit can just walk up to my tower and disable it, so now there's a unit that shoots force projectors. lmao.) 
 - A yeetening of tiers (good riddance!) 
 - units designed to fill niches instead of fill reconstructor space. 
 - 5\. second. units. 
 - Proper integration of status effects, knockback and drag into the moment-to-moment gameplay 
 - Purposeful design involving armor for both buildings and units 
 - Instakills 
 - Balance tipped towards player expression and strategy rather than keeping things fair 
 - Unique cross-biome progression 
 - Core units with stupidly powerful guns/abilities called Commanders 
 - Environmental props that give resources 
 - Refrences to other games I've played and enjoyed 
 - Fishes. A lot of fishes. Don't forget the bugs. 
 - Lots more that sleep-deprived me decided not to put on here for fear of making this section too lengthy. Go play the mod ya goob.

This is **all in the mod, right now**, and is **available to be played, r i g h t  n o w**.

# Where can I keep up with the mod's development
I post the ocasional video on youtube, though im more active in the mod's fourm post on the Mindustry discord server.
I've also started a server for the mod on discord. It's quite new so there isn't much there, but im open to talk about dev.
The invite link isn't a temp one anymore!

The hjson version is pretty much finalised in terms of content, but I'd encourage people to screw around with mapping if they finish the campaign or if you want to see what the different possibilities for 100 <x unit> could be.
