Feature Highlight #1: Automation out now on our YouTube channel!


Hello everyone!

We are happy to reveal more details about FOUNDRY, and, of course, it should all start with the automation! Today we will talk about how to use the tools at your disposal to get your dream factory working perfectly. We will cover going from manually moving resources between smelters and assemblers, as well as manually collecting biomass for power, to having your machines do the work for you.

DevBlog #50 | Foundry Fridays: Release Date & Feature Highlights

Hello everyone!
Today I am writing about our recently announced release date and two upcoming video event series.

[h2]Release Date: May 2nd 2024[/h2]
Foundry will launch into Early Access on Steam on the 2nd of May, 2024. If you haven’t seen the release date announcement trailer yet, take a look here:

Our team is very excited to finally be able to bring the game to a wider audience on Steam. We have worked for close to six years on this project and we believe that the game is now ready for an Early Access release.

During Early Access we are focusing on adding more content, increased polish and new features. For this we will maintain a public roadmap and idea board. The community and their feedback has always been a central pillar of this project and we will continue to value it highly to make the game into the best version of FOUNDRY possible.

[h2]Feature Highlights & Dev Streams[/h2]
Starting next week we will release a Feature Highlight video every week until our launch. In each video we will cover a certain topic about the game and share additional information about it. Those videos are intended to provide a clearer picture of FOUNDRY, especially to people who haven’t followed our development closely.

On top of this we will also hold a weekly live stream where we will broadly talk about the previously released Feature Highlight’s topic and provide even more insights and details. If you have any questions you want to ask us, this is your opportunity!

Exact stream dates and times will follow on a later Steam news post.

See you soon,

FOUNDRY will be available for Early Access on May 2nd!



The time has come. The moment you have been waiting is finally here. We are happy to announce that FOUNDRY is going to be available for Early Access on May 2nd 2024!

Starting from humble beginnings of manually mining and processing resources, crafting machinery, and developing technologies, you will be able to advance to automating the entire production line to your precise plans.

Watch the announcement trailer that was created with the help of our wonderful community members as most of the factories you will see in the video were created by them!

From this day on we will share more and more details about the growing and evolving world of FOUNDRY:


[h2]F.A.Q.[/h2]

What is Foundry?
FOUNDRY is a first-person factory building simulation set in an endless procedurally generated voxel world. Mine resources, craft machinery and automate your research to progress through the game. Face logistic challenges by planning and building a conveyor belt and pipe network. Manage a complex power system and expand your constantly growing production lines!

When will FOUNDRY be available?
We will be available for early access on May 2nd, 2024!

What platforms will FOUNDRY be on?
At the moment we are planning to have FOUNDRY only on Steam, but we will keep you posted!

Why Early Access?
With Early Access the community will help us to create a better game since player feedback is crucial for complex simulation games. We will listen to your feedback and you may influence the development. Additionally your early support helps us to make the most of the potential we see in FOUNDRY.

What is the official game website, where can I read more about the game? Here!

What languages will the game support?
The game will provide the UI translations for the following languages: English, French, German, Spanish (both Spain and LATAM), Polish, Russian and Simplified Chinese and Japanese.

How often will Development Diaries get released, and where can I read them?
We aim to release Dev Diaries on a biweekly basis, and you will be able to read them on our forum, official website, and on our Steam page.

How can I be notified about the news?
Sign up for the newsletter to be posted about the latest news and get a unique gift on Steam when the game is officially out — Exclusive Mining Drill skin!

What if I bought the game on itch before?
Players who bought the game on itch.io will get a Steam key when the “Early Access” version of the game is released. We will tell you more details later as we will get closer to the next stage.

I have a question I want to ask a developer, where can I do that?
We have a Discord server and our Official Forum. Make sure to follow both of them not to miss a thing!

Do you have a roadmap?
We have some ideas in mind, but we need to be 100% sure they will be added before making any announcements. We are planning to make the roadmap available closer to EA launch.

Does the game have online or co-op gameplay?
It does! The multiplayer mode is mostly designed towards 2-4 players on the same server, but you can always go extra as there is no hard limit

What will happen to the itch.io version of the game?
If you bought the game previously on itch.io, you can still access it, however this version is no longer updated and there is no way to buy it on itch.io now.
