- I've spent nearly 30 hours playing the early access release of Foundry and these are the tips to get the most out of your foundry early access experience. Let me know in the comments if you want to see more foundry content!
Hey everyone! Thanks for watching my video. Let me know what you think of Foundry and if you would like to see more content on this new Factory Builder!
I'm worried I will get into the game and run out of things to do the tech tree isn't finished
I don't understand why explosives are needed
@rphilipsgeekery4589 that is a risk of early access. It took me between 20 and 30 hrs to 'finish' the game as it is now. I hope they do more because I enjoyed it, but didn't feel compelled to keep playing afterwards.
Explosives clear terrain. Technically you can dig by hand but it's nice to be able to work quickly or mine down to underground veins.
@@Dekoba I don't really consider it a risk in this case , cause the dev is funded, but ... usually yes correct
Hi Dekoba, I appreciate your coverage. Regardless of the Title. The way you present info is easy to understand and digest. I don’t have the time to give my Satisfactory save the love it deserves, so it’s nice getting to live vicariously through your vids. Thank you for all the hard work you put into these.
Thank you for the kind words. More Satisfactory content is coming soon, I am happy to hear that you enjoy it.
This game feels like Factorio meet Minecraft. Thx for the tips. Its clear, short and sweet!
That's exactly how i describe it to people when talking about Foundry.
I've watched several instructional videos on this game and your video is by far the best I have seen. Thank you!
I love the game so far and your tips here helped me on my journey. 😊
I would say your main bus should be on the ground with no spaces. You raise everything you dont need to split off, split off what you need with a balancer, then set everything back down with what is split immediately going off to the left or right. This keeps things neat and orderly as well as giving you a better idea of shortages. It would be the same as how you make a main bus in factorio.
Just something to think about, but both ramps and splitters are 2 spaces long, so it's impossible to be as compact as in Factorio. And with the 3rd dimension as an option, it's less of a priority to be quite as space efficient. I've tried experimenting with a compact Factorio style bus and it quickly turned into a mess. YMMV
(As someone with a dozen hours in the game so far, the bus was actually my favorite tip and something I hadn't thought of. Cheers @Dekoba!)
no gap between is much better and easyer to handle i didnt put space between and im regreting it very much now :(
@@jelen00711 how many items are on your main bus? It should really only be things that are needed throughout the entire factory, some things will be made at each location you pull things off, like machine parts and such.
Important note about using boilers and steam turbines for power generation: Steam turbines do not directly provide power to the foundation they are on. Loaders don't work if the foundation they are on doesn't have power. If your steam turbine power generation setup is on a foundation isolated from the rest of your buildings, you'll need to drop a connected transformer on it to power the loaders feeding igneum to the boilers.
Great tip! I had this set up for the video but didnt talk about it and I really should have, as it caused me some trouble.
Love the video, especially with the Satisfactory soundtrack background music :) lol
Great video man! ❤
I can't wait to try this game someday, you really make it look enjoyable!
Game is awesome. would love to see more vids on this
For sure ! I have enjoyed it. It reminds me a lot of satisfactory when it first entered EA a few years ago. I got about 30 hours out of the EA launch and pretty well finished the game, at least as it is right now, but am excited to play more, especially as new content comes out.
Thanks for the video. I will keep these in mind. I am new to factory games, what is a bus? Are there any recommendations on videos I can watch to learn about them? Thanks
Good one, specially the second half.
Good stuff. Maybe the main thing I wish I had known was placement for the screens on machines. So many I had to climb around to get to set up. Easy fix but just an annoyance really. And going vertical. I hope they patch in some easier way to get a top down view on things earlier. By the time I got that first look I had messed up a lot of things. Satisfactory has spoiled me on viewing builds.....lol
agreed. i had the same frustration. I ended up using the camera mode (alt+u, though i dont know if that is in early access or not) to get a good look at things occasionally but it was a frustration to get the layouts at times.
Looks to be a really fun game
Wow...8 Biomass burners :o I transitioned with only 2 :D
Impressive lol, I started running into shortages around the time I started doing research. I think I could make it with 3, but I wanted to future proof so I went a bit overboard.
Question about automating biomass. It seems really slow! I did a test run and compared to just cutting trees down and building by hand I decided against automating it.
How many green houses did you setup? I was thinking a minimum of like 10 was what would be needed. Thoughts?
I set up 6 but decided not to use the biomass for power and instead stockpile it for explosives. I agree it's very inefficient and probably not worth setting up for progression
My main bus is line, space, space, line, etc. This lets me split and elevate as needed. Just got the game, so that may change after a few playthroughs.
I disagree on the 1 to 3 ratio. That is only true at the very early stages. As you deplet your ores, 3 miners wont fill a single belt.
I very much like the bus idea. I was struggling a little bit with space. The elevation system is a little bit clunky to use as of now.
Only thing I didn't agree with was the double-spaced bus. When you get 15+ items it's too much space. Easier to just run a belt under (or over) the splitter like you would with an underground belt in Factorio.
Ah, I didn't use factories for long enough to get that wide. I see what you mean though and that's a great way to do it. Good call!
lmao ive been doing loaders entirely wrong. i was splitting and joining to every smelter input/output so i had like 36 balancers across two mining locations. good grief. we really need blueprints and research queue.
Agreed!
wait, farming biomass and then buring it for power is net minus process, it cost more power than it produces
water is super frustrating in the game. I have exactly the same boiler setup as you, but the pipe intake just doesn't pull up any water. Been trying for hours, and about to ask for a refund.
I am sorry to hear your struggles, I don't know what to say. I never had any trouble with it. As long as the pipe intake was underwater and the pipes were all properly connected, the water flowed.
Make sure the intake itself is pointing upwards and you are connecting the pipe to that upward arrow
@@MercFHire thanks, will give it another try
I believe the intake itself needs power so you can just throw some ignium into the boiler to “jump start” it, but also make sure when placing the intake that it’s fully submerged and the green arrow is going into your boiler intake pipe
Great video! Thx... here, get a like and a sub 😀
In the trailer you can build robots, how does that work?
That's late game, you need many different resources to assemble the parts and build a production facility to put them all together. I focused on the early game in this video, plan to do a part 2 later that covers the rest of the game.
@@Dekoba I see. It is just that I can't seem to find any info about the robots and what they do. They seem like possibly the most unique thing in the game.
@@titanuranus3095 as far as i know drones help you build big stuff and robots you just sell and trade for bars of some kind of material which you can get only by trading and need for yellow science
something i wish i knew earlier... theres no conveyers lifts in the game so you base is gonna look a mess now matter what lol and yes i know about the freigh elevetor but its not what most people will want/need. also building tunnels for belts SUCK
Agreed. T there's a lot of things I hope they fix in the future. That's early access for you though. Satisfactory didn't have conveyor lifts when it first came out either.
@@Dekoba yeah and that was very painful too lol i just like to think if your gonna make a game inspired by other games you should know what make them suck till it was fixed. i thought foundry did i mean they had doors AND ladders on release! lol
Well why didn't you do a search and find out.
Don’t think Satisfactory copy cat…
Think of it more as Dyson Sphere Program meets Satisfactory meets Minecraft.
The worst copy of satisfactory ever seen.
In your opinion. In my opinion it is better than Satisfactory.
I think it is a fundamentally different game. It feels a lot more like a copy of Factorio or DSP than it does satisfactory, and Ive spent a lot of time thinking about this lol.
Its obv a 3d factory builder, but the actual construction is grid based instead of freeform,
and vertical construction isnt unlocked until tier 3 science, which means you are more or less confined to a 2 or 2.5 dimension grid for much of the game. This is my biggest complaint about Foundry - its pitched as a 3d builder but in practice thats a pretty unreasonable and terribly inefficient way to build your factory, at least for the first 10 or so hours of the game.
The other big difference is how the map is structured - Satisfactory has loads of resource veins all over the place. A core part of the game is either building remote outposts or at least setting up long logistics lines, and the game gives interesting options for that. In foundry, by contrast, you can complete the game as it stands on the first nodes you find and its unwieldy and impractical to go searching for more until the late game. These two things make for a pretty different experience, and as I said, it feels a lot more like the various 2d factory builders that are about.
Overall I like satisfactory better, but I certainly dont think of it as a satisfactory clone, and I enjoyed it well enough for what it is.
This guy gets it @@SaugusDudley
Then I am curious about the best copy Satisfactory tbh.
Looking for that answer from you, I might get that one 🙂👍
Yes, it have similarities, pros and cons.
Does it really matter?
@@Dekoba i agree those 2 games are not comparable totally different playstyles
