I thought this game was well known but I haven't seen almost any mentions of it recently. It's very weird for a FOSS enthusiast not to advertise one of the best open-source games of all time so here I am trying to make it spoken about again.

If you notice any symptoms of addiction while and/or after playing the game, stop playing immediately and consult with your doctor.

If I want to play a factory game where you need to build defenses I'd go play Factorio and maybe stab myself in the throat a little because that's about how fun having to deal with enemies in a factory game is.

Mindustry is much closer to the tower defense side of it.

Or maybe the RTS side.

There are even attack modes, where you build up an army to take on a fixed emplacement of enemy units.
