FOUNDRY

Great game for anyone looking up for a factory game. But oh my god the interface and icons looks like it's coming from a 2002 game. Seeing Paradox name here, I would think we would get something better.

Tried the free weekend, worst tutorial in existence. Uninstalled and wont buy. For the devs, who clearly dont know the definition - A tutorial is a method of instruction, that provides practical, step-by-step guidance to teach a specific task.

I'd love to recommend the game as there is certainly potential to build upon but for now it's just a slog. THE RESARCH TREE. whilst it has a good size it really needs a good re-map, the first two inputs are in science 1 when the third is in science 3 despite the fact all it really does it mean you don't have to fiddle around with you're belts as much. it takes at least 4 hours to unlock on the slow end, and makes no sense to why it's at that point so i hope they move it to science 1 in the future. THE PROGRESSION. you will start with the normal factory game stuff, automate mining and eventually power, however with how the unlocks work you can't really get a liking for you're base as you will soon be deconstructing it to add new items for improved mining or better assemblers as there is not an auto upgrade feature for already placed item's. and the Pictures in the steam page really give you the idea that vertical building is easy and rewarding but it really isn't prepare for ultimate spaghetti. you do unlock an elevator system later in the game helps remove some of the pain I feel it comes too late to be worth it. these are just to major negatives in my eyes that make the game a pain with some minor ones through out but you can get use to the UI with time. if you still want to buy it I advise wating for a sale or till it gets better.

This game has Big Chris Sawyer Energy. I might end up playing this longer than I played Satisfactory - and I played that for 400 hours.

そんなに悪いわけではないのだが、良いところもあまりない。 ・３Dだがベルトコンベア輸送の上下方向が弱く平面的な設計になりがち。ブループリント機能が未実装なせいもある。 ・宇宙船による物流が強すぎて簡単に拡張性の高い設計が可能なために逆に工夫の余地も少なく無味気味。ストレスも少ないが。（今後列車が実装予定らしい。） ・Factorio同様設備を作ってから配置するタイプだが、設備が細分化されていくためダルい。その割にはインベントリが狭すぎる。今からでもSatisfactory方式にしたほうがいい。 ・巨大な設備はロマンがあるが、建築や解体に手間がかかるため試行錯誤がしづらい。

Its just a Great game. nothing more to say. Maybe add crouching, but everything else is realy great. Love it

The game definitely has potential, even if it shares a lot of ground with other factory-building games. My main issue at the moment is progression. The game introduces too many new systems too quickly, without giving the player enough time to understand and experiment with them. New mechanics should ideally be introduced gradually, so that players can try them, compare them, and understand their pros and cons before moving on to the next layer of complexity. In my experience, after unlocking the second research product, I was suddenly given a huge amount of new machinery, buildings, and even the whole space platform side of the game in a very short span of time. Instead of feeling exciting, it became overwhelming. The UI does not help much either, as it feels unintuitive and makes it harder to get familiar with the game’s different systems. This feels like a self-defeating design choice. Even if the game contains fun and well-designed mechanics, they lose impact if players cannot properly engage with them because too much is thrown at them at once. The tutorial also feels weak in this regard, as it seems to focus on the wrong things rather than helping the player manage the actual complexity of the game. I also have some concerns about balance. For instance, you can spend hours excavating a hill by unlocking and using more helper robots, or you can just build a few rails with some steel bars and achieve the same result far more efficiently. When one option is so clearly better, the other progression paths start to feel much less meaningful.

Thanks for the chance to play for free.... 40 minutes in I bought a copy :-)
