This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
*Reworked nearly every system in the game to improve efficiency and reduce lag.
*Removed ALL waves and replaced them with new counter-parts. There are a total of 32 base wave-type units that have varying abilities. Each wave type is modular - allowing me to add/change/remove existing wave types with ease.

*All turrets are constructed by first building the foundation called a turret base. After that is built, it can be upgraded to any turret type. This foundation effectively raises all turrets off the ground.

Ok guys, I am devoting this entire day to working on mineralz!
i CANT WAIT!!!! ARRR!!
just a suggestion, is it possible to end the round when all enemies are dead? Its just that the game really takes forever (around 2 hours) to beat. I thought maybe this might help the paste of the game.
p.s Also are these temples you are adding, do they spawn on one of each type of mineral? like would a temple spawn on a cluster of minerals, or could it also spawn on just one or two minerals?
EDIT: I actually kinda like the look of the old terrain and intro better xD. It just seems to give the game a really unique look. It also makes it a looot easier to spot mineralz and holes. Im just saying.

There is only one temple, and it is generated after everything else. It lands on top/ very near a mineral patch(es), the patch(es) will be sucked in.

Hi there!
This is the best surv/td map I have ever seen!
I love here energy spreading system and many difficulty levels (cuz already finished easy).
I'd like to suggest to add some slow mid damage long-ranged towers requiring a lot of power, they should help on latest waves and maybe some towers should spent minerals for each shot instead of/with energy? Or some building which power-ups towers near it?
Anyway this should have 5/5.
P.S.: Also maybe you will make some hyperexpensive upgrade for tp which will prevent zergs from using it? And some towers or regenerators upgrades for credits?

farther range is not necessary, and if towers use minerals rather than generators, then that renders the generators somewhat useless. That game is fine the way it is, rather than altering towers, were more focused on adding features.

hi the 1.16beta 3 , why the mineralz health only 500 instead of 1000, make it easily get drained off.
And the temple doesnt help at all in nightmare mode. Catapult can hit from outside of the temple block and all my building gone in one shot.
And the orb, 1st i thought it can be regenerate mana by using power plant but it doesnt. it take so long to reach 100 mana and the effect is so short only.
And why when a morning came the zerg (ps. not the pudge) explore all my brick/rubble in one shot also.
One more thing! the sheild that used to protect the rock doesnt work. The rock still get exploded when pudge came and left behind the shield alone with 100 hp.

Rock shield has been removed due to complications.
The feature of them exploding used to work like this: If a zerg did not attack once for an entire wave, they explode. In newer versions that is removed.
You really thought you could get unlimited black holes? No.
The temple is supposed to be hard to defend. That thing can suck bosses away for 30 seconds. Or behind walls.
MineralZ now have 500 health instead of 1000, but I doubled the regeneration rate.

Well the difficulty thing is that I can't gain anymore credits from Easy mode and not many were willing to play Normal / Hard since they can still farm off Easy. And even if Newbie come in, as long as he's not a spoiler, its still possible for them to survive if they were protected by experienced player.

Pick maximum difficulty than, with 5 other players picking easy it will make game normal and it almost always makes game 1 lvl harder then half of players wants)

It takes the average.
The method I used was I assigned every difficulty with an integer
Easy 1
Normal 2
Hard 3
Nightmare 4
Hell 5
It takes all the votes, converts them to integers and adds them up divided by the # of ppl who voted.
So if you had 4 who voted easy and one who voted hell it would be
1
1
1
1
4+
---
8/5=1.6 (or 2 as a integer)
That would put the mode on normal.

I really like the map, with innovative stuff such as random map generation(I really like that , different experience every time) and the unique mineral and trading system. However I feel a need to have more types of towers(slow/splash maybe?) and different types of walls, to make defending have more choices. Thank you! Also, may i apply to be a beta tester? Me and a few of my pals started playing this yesterday and have played it about 10x, and would love to help with the development of new versions. Keep up the good work!
