FOUNDRY

Okay, 45+ hours in and I'm sure enough: this is a worthy entry in the manufacturing-game genre, slotting in as about between Satisfactory and DSP but with a flavor and chewy texture all its own. All mho: it starts out feeling llke it might be a me-too or a corporate niche grabber, but as the complexity and scale ramp up it earns its place. It can't compete with Satsifactory on looks, or Factorio, and it can't compete with Factorio on keeping sheer exuberant intricacy playable and balanced, but it, this game, Foundry, *can* be exactly what it is already even in EA: 3D and intricacy about on par with Satisfactory, good enough art, but getting full use out of its unbounded world and offering diversions and variety afaik all its own as you scale up. Plus, plenty of decor to lure you into wanting the next one to look cooler. You won't notice the extra balancing and scope for a while, Science III is roughly equivalent to Factorio's oil processing, it's a real step up in complexity and somewhere in there you realize that galactic trade network isn't just a resource sink, it isn't just an excuse to build like DSP's project, there's stuff you can only get by trade, stuff you need to expand your own enterprise. It's simplified but that's okay, even [i]good[/i], your head's already dancing with visions of tunnel/skyway-complex layouts and tradeoffs and options, so the game makes the currency itself a physical object you need to incorporate into your more advanced recipies (and a little later even refine), which requires trading off spaceport capacity and costs. I like that there's components that don't work the first way I thought they did, I'd build them and they just wouldn't work, then I'd try again and they would… then I thought, okay the game's solid enough, is there any way this makes sense somehow? and a little more experimenting made me realize how the devices worked, and it's actually a clever design that rewards the patence. Figuring that ouw was what got me to write this review, the clever has not yet stopped and I've acquired faith that the devs and publisher know they've got a budding winner on their hands and will do it justice.

Underappreciated and has great potential, if you liked factorio or satisfactory, this is well on the way to being better. The large buildings and assembly lines bring great concepts which will be expanded in the future. Mod community needs to grow more though.

The latest update has made this game unplayable. It crashes constantly.

veri gud gaem

One of my personal favorite factory builders tbh

This game is a lot of fun to play. Building assembly lines and trying to take over markets is very interesting. The amount details for your company is pretty cool. Also, being able to pick up and put down this game at any point is nice too.

You can be very creative

Fantastic factory builder, allows you to turn your factory into a space empire. i love the market aspect and the galactic conquest.

I did enjoy this game, even though it is FAR from a complete game. I'd even say that it currently is completely unplayable without mods. But with the blueprint mod and a mod to drastically expand the inventory size, it is very enjoyable. Looking forward to what this game might eventually become! With that being said, it is still just a worse version of Factorio and Satisfactory. Play those first, then play this one when you need something new.

夜が暗いマップに悪意しか感じない。電灯をつけまくれば明かるいがそもそも目に悪いほど暗いことに何のメリットやゲーム性があるというのか。 プレイヤーの健康と目の疲れに対して悪意があると思います。 カス中のカスですわな。改心してください。
