The editorial view
Mindustry combines defence with resource transport and production. We include it because the supply network matters to the battlefield: a strong position depends on more than placing a weapon.
Why it belongs here
Production and defence form an interconnected planning problem. That is the main reason to consider it within this defence and automation selection.
The trade-off
A complex network can require more learning than a simple tower-defence game.
Follow the supply
When resources travel through a network, defence begins before the enemy arrives. A blocked route or an unbalanced production chain changes what a position can sustain. This is a different kind of attention from choosing a tower on an otherwise fixed map.

Our recommendation
A good fit for: system builders who enjoy tracing dependencies.
Production and defence form an interconnected planning problem. Keep the trade-off in mind: a complex network can require more learning than a simple tower-defence game.
