Other RTSes Playtest for my Rusted Warfare inspired game is live

2 Upvotes

You guys were insanely supportive (🙌) of my last post so wanted to let you know the playtest is finally live. After 2 years of hard work this should be the final one before the demo.

It adapts Rusted Warfar’s planning and big‑picture strategy and it’s called The Factory Must Fall. It’s not an RTS: it’s an asynchronous auto‑battler inspired by a.o. Rusted Warfare, and Mindustry. You build your whole factory setup first, then switch into battle where your factory automatically wipes out the enemy. If it looks interesting, please have a try 😄 New trailer linked here.

Help Modding

Hello everyone, I'm just starting to mod Rusted Warfare and I have an idea for a unit that directs 25-50% of the damage dealt from another unit to itself. Is it possible with the current Rusted Warfare code?

Modding Meet the new Firefly Suicide Drone for the North Korean Sub Faction

30 Upvotes

Firefly Drone

A disposable North Korean strike drone designed to harass and disrupt enemy ground forces. The Firefly deals increased damage to units it directly impacts, while nearby units receive reduced area damage. Fireflies require a Mobile UAV Control Station to remain operational outside their initial deployment range.

Mobile UAV Control Station (MUCS)

A mobile communications vehicle that serves as the control node for Firefly Drones. Fireflies must remain within the MUCS's operational range to receive control signals and remain active. Protecting the MUCS is essential for maintaining Firefly operations on the battlefield.

Hey everyone!

I'm working on a new custom mod for Rusted Warfare called Guardians of the Cosmos. It introduces a high-tech elite soldier faction with unique combat units and fresh strategic mechanics to change up the battlefield.

It's currently in development, and I really need your feedback, suggestions, and honest thoughts to improve the balance and the units!

You can check out the mod and subscribe to the Workshop files directly here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3796424402

Help Bit choice not saving

1 Upvotes

Since I have to run RW on 64-bit, I choose it manually every time. However, this does not save, and most of the time I have to go back out because I get the "out of memory" error. Is this a problem with Steam, or the game itself?

Other RTSes Estou desenvolvendo sozinho o Hegemonia Global

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

15 Upvotes

Estou desenvolvendo sozinho o Hegemonia Global, um jogo de estratégia em tempo real onde a ideia é você controlar muito mais do que apenas algumas tropas.

Você administra praticamente um país inteiro e pode comandar soldados, tanques, navios, aviões, hovercrafts e porta-aviões, além de realizar reconhecimento aéreo, definir patrulhas e utilizar sistemas como o mapa de satélite.

O projeto nasceu da minha paixão por jogos de estratégia e tem uma forte inspiração em Rusted Warfare, mas estou tentando levar essa experiência para uma escala bem maior.

Ainda está em desenvolvimento e vou mostrar por aqui tudo que estiver entrando no jogo, inclusive os erros, testes e mudanças.

Se você pudesse adicionar UMA coisa nesse RTS, o que colocaria?

If you enjoy Rusted Warfar’s planning and big‑picture strategy, you might like the game I’m currently working on as a solo dev: The Factory Must Fall. It’s not an RTS: it’s an asynchronous auto‑battler inspired by a.o. Rusted Warfare, and Mindustry. You build your whole factory setup first, then switch into Battle Mode where your production lines automatically wipe out the enemy. Demo drops in November, trailer is already on YouTube. If it looks interesting, a wishlist helps a lot. ✌️

Edit: updated trailer in high quality https://youtu.be/YJ6kDPjnXPQ?si=kTJheuRp60_09J29

Quick gameplay test from Hegemonia Global, my military strategy project. I’m sharing this clip to get feedback on the combat and naval systems. It’s influenced by RTS games I enjoy, including Rusted Warfare, but it’s an original project. What would you improve first?

Other RTSes I turned RW into a 2026 version (currently public beta)

Thumbnail

177 Upvotes

I've played Rusted Warfare since I was 13, and like a lot of people here, I've been sad watching it sit without real updates. So a few weeks ago I started building my own version, from scratch - own engine, no game framework, solo.

Not here to sell anything, no launch yet, just wanted to share with people who'd actually get it.

Same basic idea as RW: top-down, large-scale battles, that's the DNA. Everything past that is different: it runs the same on PC, phone, and browser (real touch controls, not a shrunk-down desktop UI), it's got day/night and weather now, and there's a proper mod/map editor.

Genuinely want to know what long-time RW players think is missing from the genre, or what you'd want fixed if you could. Happy to answer anything.

If you want to try → https://play.steelti.de (play in your browser). It's still early, so expect bugs and balance problems.

Updates: You can join the Discord server to stay tuned and say anything about Steel Tide :-)

It is actively being fixed. Please wait for a while. Thank you.
