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?

Mild positive. This game is a lot of fun if played 'correctly'. There are a lot of improvements to the game over time, but it needs some tweaking. You NEED the mods "Foundry Commands" so you can create waypoints and teleport to them, and "Duplicationeer" so you can copy/paste assembly lines. The game gets tedious VERY FAST if you don't have them. There's also a problem with the late game. By the time you get to the late game where you're using assembly lines, your computer WILL say "Limiting Simulation Performance". I have a brand new top of the line PC from last year and that still happens. The "Cargo Pipes" mod is great and think helps so you don't have conveyors thousands of meters in length supplying your lines where each meter need to be simulated. The game is made for the early game which is fun, but late game it gets tedious and requires a top-of-the-line PC to get even adequate performance.

Honestly, Foundry is just plain fun if you’re into building and automation games. It’s got that same “just one more thing before I log off” vibe you get from games like Factorio, but what makes it stand out is the voxel world. You can dig, shape, and build however you want, which is awesome. Want your whole factory underground? Go for it. Want conveyors running all over the place above ground? That works too. The automation side is super satisfying. Setting up production lines and watching everything flow smoothly once you get it right just hits that sweet spot. It starts simple but ramps up enough to keep things interesting without frying your brain too early. It’s not perfect though. You can tell it’s still being worked on—some stuff could use more depth and a few quality-of-life improvements would go a long way. But honestly, the core of the game is solid, and that’s what matters. Bottom line: If you like factory games or just enjoy building stuff and making things run efficiently, Foundry is definitely worth checking out. Easy to get into, hard to stop playing

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.
