Foundryis a first-person factory building simulation set in an endless procedurally generated voxel world. Mine resources, craft machinery and automate your research to progress through the game. Face logistic challenges by planning and building a conveyor belt and pipe network. Manage a complex power system and expand your constantly growing production lines.

While you start small by crafting your first items and machines by hand, you will soon find yourself surrounded by a large sci-fi factory doing the work for you. You need to expand your factory by building more production lines, conveyor belts and pipes while keeping a stable power supply for your growing energy demands. By conducting research, you will unlock more advanced, complex and faster technology to optimize the design and maximize the output of your factory.

Every new game starts with a different procedurally generated voxel world. Each block can be destroyed and new blocks (terrain or buildings) can be placed to shape the worlds to fit your desires. Build your sprawling factory on a mountain, in the jungle or inside the deepest mine - everything is possible!

Foundrycan be played alone or cooperatively with friends. The multiplayer mode works over the internet as well as offline through LAN networking. There are currently no player limits for multiplayer, but we think the game is best played with 2-4 players.

Paradox Interactive and Channel 3 Entertainment are thrilled to announce that Foundry will be launching via Steam Early Access on May 2nd.

Foundry is a first-person, factory-building and automation sandbox set in a beautiful, procedurally-generated voxel world. Starting from humble beginnings of manually mining and processing resources, crafting machinery, and developing technologies, players can advance to automating the entire production line to their precise plans. They will face different logistic challenges such as planning pipe and belt networks and managing complex power systems, working to expand their constantly growing production lines as they create their own gigantic, automated, and self-sustaining factory. Played solo or with friends, Foundry is the perfect mix between grid-based construction games and factory building simulations.

“The game has most of its core gameplay mechanics implemented and we're mostly adding new content and in-depth gameplay mechanics on top. It currently provides about 15-25 hours of playtime, depending on your pacing and experience. Everything shown in our trailer and Steam store description is already implemented, explicitly: base building, conveyor belts, pipes, modifiable voxel world, research, crafting, a complex power grid system and various other smaller features.

Singleplayer is very stable, multiplayer is a bit less stable, but most issues are minor and almost everything can be fixed by re-connecting to the server or re-hosting the game. Bug fixing has always priority over new features. At the time we launch on Steam we expect to have a bug-free and very stable version for both Single and Multiplayer.”

“We plan to release the full version with more content, more distinguishable mechanics, more polishing and comfort features. In detail: We want to bind the voxel world closer to the core gameplay, by adding more underground-mechanics like deep mining and all the things you might expect to discover buried in the depths of a planet. Our team intends to add more complex options to customize and control how your factory operates, like logic gates to create custom machine behavior. According to our plans, the game's content will be expanded with more crafting recipes, research and machines.
We want to gradually introduce mod-support on the way to the full release. We plan to add support for minor modding (e.g. change recipes, add new machines) and scale it up to allow in-depth modding.”

Foundry is currently in development for PC (Steam), scheduled for full launch in 2025.
