First day 14 hours down. This game is going places! If you like SATISFACTORY then read this. For sure this game is top in its genre. As the founder of AutomationNation (public free to join) I give this a great early access review. Sure Paradox is whatever with its extra launcher I get it but let's talk about the core of the game. Is this worth the money? I say yes for a couple reasons. 1.) They claim they will not increase price even though they have released a roadmap that looks to have great updates worth more than the initial price, of course all subject to change. 2.) Expect that if they hold their word about keeping the same price expect future discounts when major updates happen! Playing solo vs co-op Co-op feel was so smooth and easy to do. I was able to join my buddies hosted game without any delay or problems much like other games in this genre that either needs mods for co-op or the co-op is always buggy with updates. This was great right out the gate! Another awesome feature they have that separates them from the competition is the save file. MY MY the save file. As I said I joined my buddies game and we had a blast but usually the host is in complete control. Not in this game! Thankfully all players can save and do save the world as well. Let me give you an example. Your friend is the host. You join him. Play 12 hours. Hes tired or has to work. You're are thinking "man I'm having a blast that sucks you got to work!" He goes "don't worry about it bro, just keep on playing." But wait? This isnt a dedicated server? Nope it's not but thats ok. Why? Because now you can reload that same exact file as the host and continue on pushing the push to greatness. He can then join you at a later time and pick up where you now have progressed. (If this is what you both choose to do of course) Haven't seen anything like this in the genre. For the solo part I didn't experience any issues except that I fell it is easier with co-op. It's not a survival/craft. There is no health bar(yet) or enemies about. We only have to share plates and rods initially but so easy to go out get more and explore! The world reminds me of Minecraft easily. Huge blocky and basically never ending. Again, highly recommend don't let Paradox ruin your time you can have with this. I almost skipped on buying it. Glad I did.

Plays great on Steamdeck. Though their stock Steamdeck controller layout is pretty poor. I just uploaded my IMO nice and labelled controller layout as "punkgeek foundry v1". It works on dualshock&steamdeck controllers. Hold R1 for build mode. I'll be updating this as I play - add comments to this review if you see missing features. If you are on steamdeck/proton and want to skip the launcher, change the launch command in steam to: eval $( echo "%command%" | sed -E "s#dowser.exe#Foundry.exe#g" )

I have nothing bad to say about this game in and of itself. It's a pretty respectable factory/automation crafter. My only real complaint is that it doesn't do anything particularly interesting that Satisfactory doesn't do better. Satisfactory has significantly more interesting building and smoother factory building. It has better logistics. It has more interesting crafting chains at present. This isn't so much a criticism of Foundry as it is praise of Satisfactory. I can imagine that some elements of the game - the simpler power grid construction, the block-based building, etc may appeal to soke people more than the open building in Satisfactory - It's definitely got a bit more of a Mine Craft feel. It also doesn't have any hostiles, so it might appeal to some people in that regard. All-in-all, I think many people will enjoy Satisfactory more, but this game might be a good change of pace. The lack of combat or fixed map exploration might also appeal more to certain people. Not a bad game, just not as good as one of its major competitors.

May 2024

The best way to describe Foundry is a blend of Minecraft and Satisfactory. If you enjoyed any automation mods in Minecraft, such as tekkit, then this game will appeal to you. For those who are more familiar with other factory games, Foundry isn't at the level of complexity that Factorio, DSP, Captain of Industry or Satisfactory are at, but it does have a deeper game loop than most other automation/factory games. Veterans of the factory genre should expect about 30-40 hours of game play on their first save.

time to do the same thing as i did in factorio as i did in mindustry as i did in satisfactory as i did in shapesz and i will enjoy every second of it.
