I am one of those people. Someone with 1800 hours in Factorio and 360 hours in Satisfactory and 550 hours in Workers and Resources and Captain of Industry and blah blah... I'll stop there because you get it. Now, this is not a dig at Satisfactory. It's great, but after a while I found the whole working for Ficsit thing just not motivating, I know, I know it's a satirical nod to reality etc and it can be fun but I just stopped liking it. I really wanted something that was a bit like Satisfactory with tweaks but more like Factorio, but 3d. But I didn't know that I wanted that. What this has to do with Foundry is that, this is that game. It is a truly 3d environment, which is procedurally generated and probably as vast as you will ever need. Each voxel of which can be destroyed or built in, like minecraft. And it is, as the blurb implies, and I will simplify as saying, a factorio-like. For me the main difference, apart from it being 3d, is that the motivator is the galactic economy that you can make money in and expand into. This really works for me even though at this stage of development feels very place-holder. I like where it is going. You make stuff to build stuff to make stuff to move stuff to research stuff to make stuff to sell stuff and build your business. You start out with a debt to pay but once you have paid it off you are your own free trader. The interface is a little frustrating until your muscle memory has learned it, but no more so than Factorio, or any other game of this kind was for me at the beginning. Once it clicks the interface is very functional and only slightly janky in an EA kind of way. Just some rough edges really. It is a game that hits a sweet spot for me. It is fun, fulfilling, relaxing (there are no threats like in factorio for example), even so, it is challenging and it does inspire my creativity. I wholeheartedly reccomend this game. It is very fun and playable as-is and in the year since I bought it has been continously and properly developed. Runs great in linux, at this stage it is nowhere near as optimised as Factorio, but then there is probably nothing on earth as well optimised as Factorio... *edit* I have had some feedback for this review because basically I am giving a massive thumbs-up to a game that has, to put it charitably, hostile DRM. It is a good game that it being well developed by what I consider to be a good team, but they chose this publisher. Even with that, a lot of steam games have no DRM, you can run them as-is from the executable. That is the way to treat your players as far as I am concerned. This game, nope you have multiple layers of launcher BS without which you cannot play. I still bought it and I still give it a thumbs-up. My advice to anyone who would complain about this kind of ♥♥♥♥ is - do something about it then. Do your bit to change the world. Really. Especially if you are young. Meanwhile, enjoy what is good and praise where praise it due. But, yeah, do something about it then. This is a good game. Positive review. The world, as run by us monkeys, well - it's EA. I would still give it a positive review, to support the devs, whoever they are.... Maybe us?
Put simply, this game is amazing! The game runs very well even with truly MASSIVE builds. When I first got Foundry I didn't expect it to be as well optimized as it is, yet here I am, several hundred hours into a single save and the game is still running as smooth as butter!
My CV: 1k+ hours in Factorio, and loads in DSP and Satisfactory. Finally got around to playing Foundry. Quick rundown: - If you loved Factorio but found Satisfactory to be too focused on pretty design/hunting, then Foundry is a great game for you. - If you loved Satisfactory, but found Factorio to be too focused on adding more and more machines to a production setup, then Foundry is not a great game for you. Foundry has great bones. The mining setup is fun (don't sweat the fact that resources aren't infinite). Power management is mostly a breeze, and fluids are largely intelligible. Technologies progress smoothly, and the economic side of the game viz your space station is good fun, and impacts your factory management (say, deciding to use a greater % of your total factory production to boost near-term profits so that you can buy more ships so you can sell more so you can so you can ...). Foundry does have a few flaws. It needs trains (coming). It needs galactic economic balancing. It needs a way for me to see how my factory compares to other player setups over a set amount of time (who is profiting the most, the fastest?). It could use more light varieties. You get the idea. But as a factory game player and one who was new to the voxel world, Foundry has proved to be good fun. Give it a try. p.s. the Foundry jetpack is good.
6/10 rating I'm about 47 hours in and not sure if I will go on. I will recommend the game, but I grew bored and didn't get to end-game. I loved Satisfactory, and thought they were similar, but for good or bad, they are different in many/enough ways. The good: Smooth gameplay. I didn't see any bugs. The Jetpack helps so much. The Space station was an interesting twist. The not so good: Its not always apparent what to work on next. The tech tree is quite messy. Dependencies are not obvious without drill down steps. Minerals not based on real names. I prefer names like Copper, Iron, Gold, Platinum.. Made up names are hard to commit to memory. Unable to see what is being produced in Assmeblers at a distant glance. You have to get right up to the console and then magnify it to see. Hard to see Input/Output amounts. This makes it hard to see how many X machines are needed to supply/balance a belt or another machine. Laying conveyors/pipes and manipulation of elevations is tedious. The miner ship (boring machine) was rather limited in use. Just easier to do without it. I did not feel encouraged to build UP.. I was spread out across the areas. Clearing out a nice level area was a bit annoying. The thousands of small blocks it takes and the elevations and clutter caused some slight grief. Nothing major. But in Satisfactory for example, I would elevate just above the terrain and lay a foundation. This was not quite so easy. This is a good game with more potential. I just did not click with it as much as I expected.
It's the love child of Minecraft and Satisfactory. Less complex than either of the parents, so it is easier to pick up and learn. Having over 1,000 hours in Satisfactory I was concerned the voxel world design would be a downer to me. At first it seemed too simplistic. But soon I learned the advantages to voxel and embraced it as a new fan. Those who strive for everything to "line up neatly" will be as thrilled as I was with a voxel environment. Overall game stability is very impressive. One CTD in 120+ hours and that was probably my laptop not the game engine. Graphics performance is stellar for an EA game. A bit of lag at random times, but easily adjusted away with the various graphic settings. Runs smooth as silk on my gaming laptop. The tech tree has quite a bit of depth although it is a bit jumbled to me. Not as neatly compacted as Satisfactory. I've read that it's closer to how Factorio does it which I have not played. But once you're used to the tech tree structure, it serves the intended purpose just fine. End game aspects seem a bit unpolished but that's to be expected for EA. Really looking forward to the next major update. Trains are rumored and would open huge doors to factory designs. There are still plenty of gameplay improvements to be had, but this game has a solid design that does well to scratch that factory-building itch.
