Foundry somehow successfully combines the worst parts of both Satisfactory and Factorio. It's 3D with big machines, so getting anything built is a tedious chore. Quality of life was not part of the deal - if you want to connect pipes to your machines you gotta pick the shape from the radial menu every time, rotate it, repeat every time you need a different pipe... the blueprints are not there, and if they are - I still haven't reached them. All of it turns even the smallest attempt at making progress into a massive undertaking. The number of resources and their requirements is quickly blown out of proportion, and the kind of guidance the game offers does not extent beyond the earliest steps, all of it leading to decision paralysis. In Factorio, the factory must grow because bugs constantly evolve and are gonna eat you if it doesn't. In Satisfactory, we get to advance the story and earn some cool thingies that make exploration easier. Here, you make money for the sake of making even mo...

clunky belt laying system clunky inserters severe lack of transport options crap animations and repetetive machines inventory management so bad that i had to mod it to make it barable (stack sizes are waaaay too small) lack of animals and danger so the world feels dead the space laser was fun tho

The first part of the game is great, I really enjoyed it. The later part of the game gets complicated and gives little guidance. I do realize that it's Early Access and not meant to be a complete game. I will update my review once it is fully release and I can play it again. Until then, I've uninstalled it.

I come from many hours of Factorio and Satisfactory. This game seems to borrow mostly from Factorio with the research and more. It adds the cubic terrain of minecraft that can be dug up and used. I got to the point where I had a few production lines going and the factory was fairly large but to be honest I was hoping that this game would bring what most automation have been missing since Factorio, that is: proper base defense. This seems like the perfect game to do it in, performance and AI should be easy in a world like this. The way the game is going, I would assume that they plan for it but it I haven't heard anything about it being planned. I don't think the minecraft style is enough to set this game apart, they will need at least a "survival" mode, and I don't mean health/hunger/energy/battery/etc. There needs to be a threat that feels at least half as organic as the threats in Factorio. No one will ever do it as organically as Factorio but this game will need something. It won't...

This game is fun, but the late game feels more like a chore sometimes due to the game kind of forcing you to make spaghetti factories after a while because it's very difficult to go vertical like in Satisfactory. What in Satisfactory would be seen as a small factory would turn into a fight for space with all the belts going everywhere. 6.5/10 I do recommend it because it is still fun to play, but I think the game is a little expensive, so just buy it on sale.

Currently I cannot recommend this game. Belt management is clunky and weird. Manufacturing and research is so slow that this might as well be a standing around and waiting for something to happen simulator. I would hope the devs work harder on streamlining the early game. I'm sure there is better content to come in the game but the early game is such a slog I have no enthusiasm to fire it up and wait for an hour until I have enough research or construction parts to move the game forward.

Not your common factory-building game The galaxy-market-trading aspect creates a refreshing new experience

The Best.........That is all....

SO ADICTIVE

I really want to like this game and will play here and there but the game feels like a chore and doesn't feel as natural as other games like Satisfactory and other games. Don't get me wrong the game is alright but I have to agree with others the QOL needs work and the UI and overall experience NEEDS a lot of work. The UI feels clunky and doesn't feel as natural as Satisfactory. Also building is one of the biggest turn off for me for example when building things like conveyor belts it can be a chore and sometimes very buggy when trying to connect it to where you want it to be it doesn't allow the freedom it needs. I hope this game gets worked on even more and more but I simply cannot recommend the game under the state it's under. Will update my review as times goes on.
