DevBlog #89 | Foundry Fridays: Road to Update 3
Hello everyone!
Welcome back to another FOUNDRY Friday episode, today we’re looking at what’s next for FOUNDRY after the recently released Terraforming themed Update 2.2.
[h3]The road to Update 3.0[/h3]
After delivering two smaller updates, our next update is going to be a bigger one again. The central feature will be the addition of trains, but we want to expand the game in other ways as well. We’re still working on finalizing the full scope of the update, but currently we’re looking at three additional improvements:
[h3]Public Train Test Branch[/h3]
We are planning to launch a public test branch where you can try out trains in the very near future. It will feature an early preview version of the train system and it is purely intended to gather feedback while we’re still working on finalizing the systems. This will be your chance to help push the implementation of the beloved train system in the “right” direction.
Please be aware, and I really need to emphasize this, that it’s unfinished, unpolished and there won’t be any real content supporting it. It is meant for us to get feedback and find issues before launching it as part of the real update 3.
We don’t have a specific date for this yet, but we will share more information soon.
See you soon,

We’re still working on finalizing the full scope of the update, but currently we’re looking at three additional improvements:
- Nuclear Power: A complex power plant which is made out of multiple modular buildings. Including new related resources and items. The goal is to add an additional endgame power source and lay the foundation for more energy-intensive content.
- Content Expansion: More Science Pack 5 content to extend the maximum playtime before you reach the end of the game. This content would link into the new systems.
- Exploration Mechanics: We’d like to add a few mechanics that provide a purpose to explore the world. As of now we’re thinking about various collectibles, especially tied to our voxel system (cave exploration), which eventually can be used to further improve your factory.
