Varför 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.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“We don't know yet and we don't want to commit to a certain date. The game will leave Early Access when the game has satisfied our high expectations for quality and amount of content.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“We plan to release the full version with more content, distinguishable mechanics, polishing and comfort features. We want to expand the tech tree and make the game longer by adding more machines, crafting recipes and items. We plan to make the world feel more alive and fill it with interesting things to discover. Our team intends to increase the depth of the factory gameplay by adding ways to customize machine behavior and add more complex mechanics like modular power plants. On top of this we are looking into more experimental features like an optional pressure mechanic, blueprints and trains.
Although the game already is mod-able, we want to make it more accessible and easier for modders.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The game has most of its core gameplay mechanics implemented and we're mostly adding new content and in-depth gameplay mechanics on top. It currently provides about 40-60 hours of playtime, depending on your pacing and experience. Everything shown in our trailer and Steam store description is already implemented, explicitly: base building, conveyor belts, pipes, modifiable voxel world, research, crafting, a complex power grid system, modular buildings, assembly lines and various other smaller features.
Singleplayer is very stable, multiplayer is a bit less stable, but most issues are minor and almost everything can be fixed by re-connecting to the server or re-hosting the game. Bug fixing has priority over new features. At the time we launch on Steam we expect to have a bug-free and very stable version for both Single and Multiplayer.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“We currently have no plans to change the price at this point.”
