FOUNDRY is a first-person factory building simulation set in an endless procedurally generated voxel world. 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. Solo or cooperatively with friends!

That bot is the Office Paperclip of factory games.
If the bot interacted with the base more, I'd like it. Drifting on belts, going to lights if it becomes dark outside or even random dialogue with your bot. Suppose it has an own, cute, agenda (it wants a jetpack and on giving one, it loops in the air from time to time, something like that), it wants you to scratch behind a screw, starts painting the decorative blocks in it's area, then it would have character
I like the idea of all the machines have a panel to interact with. Neat idea.
it's very unique way to do the UI. stays out of the way, but very useful still, and most info is easily seen right away. less buttons to push
I prefer having a dedicated button for add all, add one, remove all so I can do it from any side of the machine, but this is fine. Reminds me of astroneer
For anyone who doesn't know or didn't think of it, you can just deconstruct the little bots HUB and he disappears, and doesn't come back.
So glad I'm not the only one pressing escape to clear my hands all the time... they really should add that before opening the menu!
pressing q again should clear the hands
I really like the way the game handles power (with generators feeding the high-voltage grid and the low-voltage grid distributed through foundation). I also love the choice to make all machines interact with you through in-world panels. The user interface seems friendly enough, especially compared to satisfactory. I think it's also done better than in Techtonica. I wasn't blown away by the design of the production tree last time I played, but I'm sure a lot of that got updated. (It also looks a LOT better now.) Looking forward to giving it another try! (Btw I'm not a fan of the boop boop droid, but it doesn't ruin anything for me.)
For this style of game I am not really interested in cute robots giving me quests, But looking forward to diving back in with you.
Never seen such complex yet organised and efficient way of production in Foundry. Would love if this series is continued.
Modded Minecraft (Feed the Beast enjoyers here?) is what got me into the factory genre in the first place. So I'm checking this one out.
I bought this game 2 days ago and I already have 12 hours into it, It's incredibly fun and addictive, to me it feels like a cross between minecraft and factorio. and this game is surprisingly deep with how many things you can research and make.
Also regarding C3-BB, i think it's cute, it doesn't get in the way.
i don't mind the bot thing. It doesn't make the game better, but i don't hate it either.
I think the bot works well with the colorful cartoonish style and a bit of silly or comedic relief is always nice in such a "major planning" or "tedious fun" brainteasing type game.
Every single game like this that I like I come to see a guild or tips and sure enough, I find your channel..absolute best channel for these games..only bad part is watching your builds in these games makes me never happy with what i have done and end up starting over..ps i dont understand how u master these game SOO fast..Very smart man u are sir
It's experience. Nilaus has literally 1000s of hours in Factorio which is an arguably far more complicated factory game (not meant to be an insult to Foundry, Factorio is just a finished game already). Certain things you learn in other Factory games apply to all of them, like how to organise betls and Main bus lines, making 'malls' etc.
You'll get there, it just takes time!
I think the bot would be okay if it wasn't tied to progression...as in that you are forced to interact with it, but was more of a helper/assistant where it can be assigned certain tasks like fetching materials or clearing biomass/rocks from an area, etc.
Always love the few words, "Beep Boop", getting translated to something huge, "critical damage with explosive deconstruction". But yes feels a little out of place, even though you have factorio playthroughs with beep boop bots 🤭
c3-bb is cute, might need more lines though. As to it being age dependant, I am 61.
52 :). also think it's cute. it's not at all age dependent, it's grumpiness factor :P
Is it cute? Yes. Do I want cute beepy thing in my factory game? Not really :D
71 here. I think it is annoying.
So this is Dyson Sphere Program in first person with a touch of Satisfactory in the world of MineCraft.
I have to agree with you about the boop bot. I guess that makes an angry old man as well. My wife on the other hand, says it is an adorable bot. I guess we both know who is getting dinner tonight.... :)
I like the bot it looks cute
Main bus building goodness begins at about 18:00
Id love to see more of this content as a play through
I like the cute like bot. Reminds me of the drones in slime rancher.
For me this feels less like a game inspired by Minecraft tech mods and more Factorio placed inside Minecraft.
The biggest thing that makes me feel that is the progression system. Factorio has a research system, while Minecraft tech mods usually has natural system of machines allowing you to mine/process resources that can lead to new machines that further progresses stuff.
I was kind of on the fence for a while with this one, lots of automation games this year and with satisfactory hitting 1.0 sometime this year seemed a tough sell.
That bot is super adorable though, I want a plush one. The research tree doesn’t seem that big yet so might be a nice short distraction before big updates to other game.
Same here. Waiting for Satisfactory 1.0 before sinking in another 500-750 hours. Also, starting with Factorio makes no sense now because a new release (major expansion) is planned for August 2024. Playing Foundry in early access might be the stopgap I'm looking for!
This really reminds me of a game called fortresscraft, I recommend if any of you are interested in games similar to this.
Thank you for a great series. As an alternative to building Drone Miners along the edge of an ore deposit, you can use building blocks one or two voxels above the deposit and place the Drone Miners in the center of the narrow blocks above it. The coverage of each miner is then greater.
@Nilaus on your slope conveyor fabricator you need to switch your output for regular belt to an input
Thanks, this is helpful. I did a similar build; but I didn't elevate my bus and kept them together. It gets messy. So I will rework to mimic your bus line. Also, plates get eatin up very quickly. You need double, or more, of the plates to get things made. The only things I've automated are the T1 and T2 science packs. I had to disable some machines that were eating up the plates for T1 science, in order to get T2 science packs made. Also, I have 5 science stations being fed the packs for faster research; just like factorio.
Edit: I find the main English bot to be tolerable; but I wonder what audience the devs were targeting with the cutesy stuff. I prefer to have kept the quest line on the right, and not have to interact with a cutesy bot to manage quests.
I love the little bot. Given the cartoony, voxel art style, I think it fits in just fine. If the game went with serious graphics I think it would feel out of place, but I love it here.
Nilaus is the tutorial!
Under gameplay option you can activate paste and copy without the tablet.
Q: copy
control+Q: copy target with settings
shift+right click: copy configuration
shift+left click: paste configuration
Try FortressCraft Evolved. It came out before Foundry and Satisfactory. It was one of the first "Factorio in 3D". It has some cool mechanics. Foundry took a few mechanics from it.
This looks like a decent factory game. Sort of Factorio/Dyson-like. (at least before you start flying around the Galaxy in Dyson!)
I'll probably give this a try after playing through Techtonica. (Techtonica is Great!!)
Thank you for helping my have fun.
I'll keep an eye on this game see how it develope, the User interfaces are really nice to look at.
Looks fun. I might pick it up after it releases since I don't spend money on Early Access or Preorders anymore, hopefully they don't abandon it before then.
This looks Like Fun Reminds me alot of Playing Hydroneer
Thanks!
you can toggle the input or output priority on a balancer as well
I love the small Beep Boop bot
as an adult over 35 that bot is amazing. Way better then some voice or text from nowhere.
After no more tasks came from the Bot for a while i deconstructed him and stuffed him in a Box done. I probably should take him out once in a while and get the crap load of Tasks he has stored up for me. xD
Still waiting for it to unlock. Hoping we get more then we had with the itch version.
Love the series, hope to see more! As far as the bot, I can take it or leave it.
Even though it's early access this game plays really nicely, and I love the graphics, it's stylized i dont get what people are saying when it looks crap, it looks great! I'm looking forward to seeing how this game grows.
Heh, old grumpy man... I know that feeling. The big 50 for me this year. This looks interesting though I'll wait a little while, see how it evolves.
please continue the series on UA-cam, want to get this game at some point. Before that want to get inspired by the series
My impression from the demo was that it wasn't anything particularly different from other factory games - curious to see you get into what makes the game unique.
I realy looking forward to watch your factory grow, following the game since it was on itch. I like the changes they made since then and realy hope it will grow and modders will come, too.
I realy avoid playing it like flat factorio and use those flooring only where it is needed, makes it look realy nice.
IT's new, it's fun and has great potential, can't wait to see if they allow modding soon.
Thank you for a good video!
I think it's possible for a thing to be both cute and cringe. It's not for me but I'm glad it's in the game. Kids getting into factory games like this early is good for both them and the genre. So I think it's good for it to have concessions to people that aren't us.
You think this cringe try oddsparks :)
Comment to show interest in a series for this game. Also, the first thing I'm doing when I find water is drowning C3-bb. That thing is CONSTANTLY in the way.
This actually looks like a better/less anoying Satisfactory :D
Yes having to use 2 loaders and 2 belts just to move from one Machine to another is painful
the bleep bloop sux!
I don't really understand the need for cute in my industrial factory games. Astro colony did this with their bot as well. But at least it didn't make noise. Love your videos.
The bot is fine. Maybe they thought it would appeal to the more juvenile Minecraft crowd that will inevitably find this game.
Please continue!!!
Nice game! A lot of future
I am thinking of starting a new save ... for walling in that quest-bot
you got the storage for sorters and belts mixed up. belts are forced to just one stack and sorters are full storage.
Looks nice, looking forward to your live stream tonight! But please, put Beep Boop in a DLC, so at least I don't have to purchase it.
I do not mind C3-BB but it would be cool to have some progression for him...make him evolve into a bigger robot that eventually has voice lines
Cute robot +1
Maybe later there will be customization to make it more mech-like and less cute...
love the bot
I am going to have to watch this a couple of times until my spatial awareness improves.
Love the Aussie accent on the tutorial robot.
The other robot is cute but I will probably cringe after I hear 'beep boop' more than 10 times.
Carl sounds like the guy from Clickspring
well I am going to have to pull everything down that I have made so far and start again.. Mine efforts look like poo next to this.. thanks for the ideas. I have about 5 hours in the game so far and am enjoying it.. A friend and I got a paid dedicated server. Co op game play is good. stable etc. The game is better than i expected.
Modded factory minecraft? Sounds great to me. I love Per Fabrica Ad Astra. Starting with stonage measures making the early game a lot more challenging to get tools until building extremely complicated oil refineries after which you might be close to having qualifications for real oil refining.
No, you dont get to punch trees. You knap stones found on the ground together and tie them to a stick to have a tool. And of course you cant mine with mere stone tools, gotta get some metal for that. Beware of caveins.
Oil refining in that minecraft modpack (PFAA, Per Fabrica Ad Astra) requires 50 seperate buildings with pipes inbetween, often with multiple inputs and outputs respectively and inbetween.
(obviously 50 is just the bare minimum, with that you will have stuff backing up as some would have to have a higher capacity than others to deal with the same amount of oil)
Oil being an even smaller part of the whole thing than it is in, say, factorio.
I like C3-BB -- I can't wait to play the game!
how do you raise and lower belts ?
I want to try this game, but what's the draw? What's special about this particular factory building game?
Reminds me of FortressCraft Evolved. Looks nicer although not sure it involves digging greedily and deeply as much as that game did!
c3-bb is the BBEG
a bit of both. it's very cute, but if u can have it stay out of the way, as in not nag, should be ok. the cute little bugger does stay out of the way, so it's cool. so u can play with it if u want but not forced to.
I wouldn't go so far as to call it cringe but it is definitely something I'd rather do without
C3BB is what happens when you have marketing people in the team from the start. Perfect merchandisation.
Some of my favorite games of all time have been walking sims. But I personally have no use for narrative in a factory builder. I play them to get into a design flow state; I don't care about the Factorio engineer's backstory.
Hello you should test Plan B : Terraform ;)
It will stay on my wishlist for now. It needs a lot of work still from what I see.
This looks cool, but I have a dozen of similar games and nothing is standing out as really unique for it.
I'll probably wait for a full release and finish some of the other builder games I have.
Stacked year for automation games but the inclusion of a proprietary launcher is going to make this stay on my wishlist until I get through the other stuff
Yeah, and it's completely pointless too right now. But at least it's Paradox and not, say, Ubisoft :D
Are there enemies?
eeghhh I agree with your sentiment regarding the bot, it's too loud.
I'm a grumpy old man, so I hate the cute bot LOL
I love you, my dude. And you are a great youtuber, but why does everyone title the first episode getting the best start Especially when the game is brand freaking new and nobody knows what the best start is yet?
Automatic input dont work for me
this looks like 3D factorio..
I liked c3-bb, but not in this game, I don't think it fits well, and in the short time I've heard the "beep boop" it's become annoying to me at least.
And it smells just like an interface that culd be just Carl in a terminal or some thing.
I'd say the bot is kinda both. It's cute, but it feels really out of place.
3:05 From my experience with Demo version inputs and outputs don't block mining drones. Everything will be mined regardless. The only thing you need to keep it working is at least one hole in the platform for bots to go through. Bots calculate a path toward resource blocks in the range around the miner. As long as there's a path of a reasonable length they'll take it. However, if the path around an obstacle is too long they won't mine anything. The path doesn't have to be a direct line. I tried a horizontal tunnel with a couple turns in it and they went through, as I recall. So, you may want to place them all as close to the middle as possible.
Also, it might be better to build inserters in "S" shape for visibility purposes instead of a straight line since in the latter case resources are not visible on the belt. I mean when buildings are placed 3 or 2 blocks away from each other instead of 4 and inserters either touch side-to-side or placed at 1 space away from each other with a belt sandwiched in between. Not the best building practice, but starting factory isn't meant to last and you see things move around. :)
Cute
Idk, a lot of things bug me here. The primary one is needing an inserter to insert into an inserter just to insert into a fabricator.
That's how the majority of these games work. Satisfactory is the only one I can think of offhand that doesn't use 'inserters' to pull to belts and off belts at least somewhat.
@@ZodzillaPrime Yeah, if anything, it's _much_ simpler here, thanks to the fact that the inserter can take the full capacity of the belt, so you don't have to consider many inserters supplying one machine for throughput reasons unlike in Factorio or DSP, and you don't have to think too much about merging and splitting belts unlike Satisfactory.
Sure, you can't insert directly from one machine to another like in Factorio, but there also isn't much of a reason to build factories like that here - it's a very important optimization in Factorio, but here it's pretty much entirely superfluous. Just put it on a belt :D
@@LuaanTi yeah, like if these machines weren't right next to each other you'd never notice.
Also yeah the optimization problem seems to be a different angle than factorio's but I'll have to see after 20+ hours what I find works and what doesn't
how good is this? how does it compare to satisfactory or factorio? is it still EA janky
This is EA. so in about the same state it looks like as the first version of satisfactory EA.
Factorio is king
The gameplay is very much Factorio-like. It runs smooth, loads fast and there's a lot less jank than the first version of Satisfactory. There are some, in my opinion, odd choices for the controls but there's a key binds menu to fix that. Pretty much the only things that are like Satisfactory but not like Factorio are the ore scanner and of course the first person view.
In short, after 3 years of playing it, it's 100% the Factorio 3D I've been waiting for. Still going to play both though.
These games really just lose me when they go first person. You are building complex production systems, a birds eye view makes the game so much better. Getting stuck down in what you are building with your vision blocked every which way is just a frustrating POV.
Yeah, it's pretty annoying for the building part, especially with the _huge_ "multiblocks" . It's pretty great for the walking and looking around part, though :D Bird's eye view always makes everything seem much smaller.
That makes unlocking a flying mode so much more rewarding ;-)
I'm ambivalent about the bot. It's not part of the gameplay, so as long as it doesn't get obnoxious (e.g. you have to look all over for it to get new quests or it showers you with bleeps) I can ignore it without it impairing my enjoyment.
I like the game, combining Minecraft style voxels with Satisfactory style factories is something I've been watching for.
C3-BB is definitely cringeworthy, though.
You are a lot faster than usual here, it's really hectic. Maybe slow down a bit while talking :)
brand new? i swear i have seen videos of this a year or so ago....
