Mindustry/TODO.md

Keep in mind that this is just a basic outline of planned features, and will be constantly changing!

3.x Planned

• New save system: toggleable autosave, named slots, less clunky save UI
• [DONE?] Optimize for tablets
• Teleporter UI changes, more colors (?)
• [DONE] New building tools: selection-delete, hold to place blocks in a line, one-tap delete mode (mobile). New 'tool' menu (desktop).
• [DONE] Refactor Renderer, remove code for rendering platform-specific placement and move to 2 different classes
• New map format system. Each new version is a different class, convert between different versions.
• Underground conduits
• Minimap
• More indicators for when the core is damaged and/or under attack
• Fix bugs with junction not accepting blocks (low FPS)
• Fix bugs with tunnel merging and/or removing items (low FPS)
• Edit descriptions for conveyor tunnels to be more clear about how to use them
• [DONE] Add link to Mindustry discord everywhere
• Balancing to slow down progression
• Map editor
• Delete saves
• Display playtime

Major Bugs

• Black screen when tabbing out on Android
• Infinite explosions that destroy blocks
• Random map reload when playing, leading to a crash (UI cause?)
• Google Payments verify crash
• Google Payments IllegalArgument crash

4.0 Planned

• Multiplayer framework, possibly implementation
• New look to blocks, make them less 'blocky'

Misc

• Localization support. Change all in-game strings to localized strings. Check compatibility with GWT and Android libraries.

Possible Additions

• Mech body upgrades
• Uranium extractor / uranium->iron converter
• Laser enemies
• Flying enemies that move in formation and spawn from different locations
• Fusion reactor
• Point defense turrets that take down projectiles
• Turrets fueled by lava
• Gas transporation and use
• Better enemy effects and looks
• Homing missile enemies and turrets
• Reflective shield blocks
• Tech tree with bonuses to production or turrets
• Spawn points changed into enemy bases with hostile turrets
• Unit production

Optmiziation

• Look into uses for IntMap
• Spread updating over multiple frames for large groups of specific tile entities (?)
• Optimize enemy + bullet code and check quadtree leaf parameters
• Check for unnecessary use of Timers#get()
• Optimize generator laser distribution, especially finding targets
• Optimize UI
• Check memory usage and GC, profile
• Optimize health bars and enemies in general
• Make drawing of enemies more efficient (don't call flush()?)
• Look into NodeRecord storage for pathfinder, since it's taking 2MB+ of memory!
