About FOUNDRY
FOUNDRY drops you onto an uncharted planet where you build a sprawling robot factory in a limitless voxel sandbox. The AI companion Carl guides you as you harvest resources, research tech, and expand your industrial empire toward galactic domination. The game blends first‑person building with grid‑based precision, letting you place conveyors, pipes and towering machines anywhere—from deep underground to the sky—while supporting solo play or online/LAN co‑op with friends.
01 / THE GUIDE
Procedurally Generated World
Each planet is generated on the fly, offering dense jungles, massive mountain ranges and endless plains to explore both above and below ground. The terrain is built from voxels, allowing you to sculpt the landscape block by block as you expand.
Exploration reveals new resource nodes and locations for future factory extensions, encouraging continual discovery as your production needs grow.
- Scout high‑ground areas early for a clear view of resource distribution.
- Mark promising underground veins before committing large builds.
02 / THE GUIDE
Grid‑Based Building System
Construction uses a precise grid, giving you control over the placement of machines, conveyor belts, pipes and elevators. There are no limits on where you can build, allowing factories to stretch from deep underground to the planet’s surface and sky.
You can personalize structures with decorative items and color options, turning functional layouts into industrial art.
- Plan conveyor routes on paper before placing to avoid later re‑routing.
- Use vertical space to separate raw material input from finished‑product output.
03 / THE GUIDE
Automation and Technology Tree
Start by manually crafting and harvesting, then gradually replace hand‑work with assembly lines, belts and elevators. Research unlocks faster, more complex machines that increase production speed and efficiency.
Balancing inputs and outputs is crucial; bottlenecks slow progress through the extensive research tree.
- Identify the slowest step in a line and upgrade that machine first.
- Keep a buffer of raw materials to prevent line stoppages.
04 / THE GUIDE
Power Supply and Efficiency
A stable power system is required to keep every conveyor, machine and pipe running at top speed. As the factory expands, upgraded generators and power networks become necessary to avoid outages.
Efficient power distribution helps maintain maximum productivity and supports the unlocking of new customization options.
- Place generators near high‑energy machines to reduce transmission loss.
- Monitor power usage regularly and add capacity before reaching limits.
05 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Multiplayer Options
FOUNDRY supports solo play as well as online and LAN co‑op, letting you recruit contractors to help with construction and logistics. Multiplayer can be used to tackle larger projects or experiment with shared designs.
Both single‑player and co‑op modes benefit from the same building and automation tools, ensuring a consistent experience.
- Assign specific zones to each player to avoid construction conflicts.
- Communicate bottleneck priorities early to align upgrades.
