If you love automation and building games like Factorio and Satisfactory, you're probably going to enjoy Foundry. I sure have!

The crafting, automation, and manufacturing design are all very solid, but what I found unique about Foundry is the use of destructible terrain. Although it sounds simple, it really adds an interesting and fun layer to the game. My first conveyor belt to connect a distant resource went over a mountain, but later I started just digging my own tunnels straight through. The way elevators work is really brilliant and makes it both fun and practical to integrate deeply buried resource deposits. Oh, and do you want to mine an area with your drill or would you rather toss out a handful of (cheap and easy to make) explosives and detonate them remotely!?! Tons of fun.

The game is still early access and there are a few relatively simple changes I'd really love to see. Upgrading your drill speed by 20% doesn't really feel impactful when you're drilling out hundreds of blocks at a time. Why not double drill power? Or let the drill reach 1 block farther so you don't have to throw down a cube to stand on top of to clear for a ceiling? Similarly I wish there were more early-mid game mobility options. I'd love to see enhancements to move speed and jump height prior to the (admittedly awesome) jetpack.

Overall I have really enjoyed building my factories and trying to expand them organically as my needs evolved through the tech tree. Two thumbs up for sure!
