BLAST FURNACE: Mega-Buildings Are Awesome (and Complicated) In FOUNDRY Early Access | 12 | Lets Play

FOUNDRY is a first-person factory building simulation set in an endless procedurally generated voxel world. While you start small by crafting your first items and machines by hand, you will soon find yourself surrounded by a large sci-fi factory doing the work for you. You need to expand your factory by building more production lines, conveyor belts and pipes while keeping a stable power supply for your growing energy demands. By conducting research, you will unlock more advanced, complex and faster technology to optimize the design and maximize the output of your factory. Solo or cooperatively with friends!

"Who is going to climb this?" Me, a year ago when they added these mega buildings but hadn't added jetpacks yet. They were designed back when you could only walk and I remember building an elaborate external scaffold so I could walk around at the upper belt level.

[@nicpardon1057]

You should of done the frakinh tower for infi ores befire the blast furnace

[@amfatdragon]

Surprised you didn't use a freight elevator for the belt input

[@Nilaus]

I never even thought of that. For me the elevator is for going underground. Good idea

[@lainverse]

Personally, I just attached a large platform to two furnaces and placed 3 landing pads on top, so both metals and ignium are brought there by air and pre-processed there with only exception of mineral rocks since I already had (quite oversized) transport hub for it.

[@GavinPeters]

Fun tip: In alpha, you used to be able to use the escalator as a watch tower. I haven't tested it in early access yet

[@lainverse]

@@GavinPeters You still can. It goes all the way up to layer 254 or so. I use this to setup sky pads for my transport ships to reduce their takeoff and landing time and build most of them on level 241 or so. They won't let you build them much higher, but this is quite enough and doubles as a watch tower. You don't really need a watch tower when you can fly, though.

[@nicpardon1057]

If you build multiply hot air then they have to be touching to get a bonus for them otherwise you are wasting air and power and you dont get the bonus

[@nicpardon1057]

If you build eveey notch on the blast furnace like your meant to then a few of the big pipe connections have filters in them

[@twhcommanchegamer5595]

The blast furnace should be used to make steel. I’m constantly running out of steel late game

[@FreeOfFantasy]

You could have build in additional tower stages to get even more production and a more effizient hot air usage. You have one at the moment, you could have 5.

[@Klannahar]

Hehehe TY god, i was not the only one who had trouble finding out how to set the hot air for blast furnace. I did waste a solid 15-20 min scratching, banging my head to the wall, why it is not want to work. They for sure need to fix it. The catwalks on the building are way too thin to navigate. Kinda horrible design. Also had to demolish and rebuild the hot air stuff multiple time cause of bad building placement. Solid 1 hrs wasted on this process. -,- They need to make better job on the item description in the help menu cause u can build like 5 stack tall the hot air producer and nothing telling u, u need to use 1 in and 1 out or 5 in and 1 out or what. -,-

[@dottn]

The pipe configuration is on the inside because it's designed to be used by someone that needs to use the gantries. For "Immersion".

[@xipheonj]

When they first added it jetpacks didn't exist yet, you literally did need to use the gantries.

[@mangon1]

With the Slag, you can turn it into concrete, and if you dont need it all, use the incinerator to destroy it

[@kanetsb]

I say techtonica is getting decent with recent patches...

[@FastTquick]

I think the blast furnace is really cool as an endgame machine, but I do agree with you on the production boost thing and how it isn’t worth it for the cost. I think there should be some late-game resources that should be added that can only be processed in a blast furnace like Wolframium.

[@jasenmorin4936]

I think these will be more useful later in game. Thanks for showing their setup.

[@jlewellen4659]

That looks pretty cool. It seems that the inclusion of conveyor lifters would definitely be a good idea.

[@cthulhu8977]

Seems the only real benefit to building that craziness is the "looks cool" factor. Could set up a large 'refinery' area to smelt all the things while looking industrial. I do like the models; minus the hidden panels. I ran out of things to do in my playthrough, so this game on pause until more stuff gets added. Started a new Krastorio 2 playthrough; probably my favorite overhaul mod.

[@lainverse]

It have better metal ore conversion to plates/rods for a price of a little extra ignium and mineral rock. It triples the output (double T2) and you can produce a bit of cement as well that you need anyway. In the worst case you can burn the excess, but conversion to cement is kinda terrible, so it won't cover your science needs and thus no excess. It's just not very useful at the moment unless you want to play for a while and keep leveling mining and pumping.

[@katnyao9618]

This game has been really interesting to watch you play through, and I intend to watch for as long as you continue the series. As for future content? You did the demo of Oddsparks, and I picked the game up myself when it launched into early access. I wouldn't at all mind seeing how you handled the new biome and things available in that game now, provided it was interesting enough for you to want to revisit. Thank you for your content!

[@amyramsey9100]

After playing satisfactory this looks 15years old ,

[@guybrushthreepwood343]

Great series! I am building along, but i am way behind...

[@ldcollett]

use the plunger on the tanks to remove the slag also works on the waste gas as well

[@mx5410]

You should build the hot air stoves side by side, this way you reduce their power consumption. Have a look at the help article about it, there the power savings is explained and how you need to align them. Also I'm buffering in my setup the molten Xeno output in one of the big tanks, that's better at compensating the "pulsed" output of the blast furnace(s) (1 tank for 128 casting machines = 8 belts output). I don't think it's really necessary to have a tank for the hot air, your pipeline elements are already a large buffer.

[@MikeS-ur2ql]

Slag can be sent straight to a flair stack

[@kentheknight]

Have you tried Final Factory? I think you may have done a first look. It's promising in the fact that it's unique.

[@puritan7473]

Lol I have to say it was funny watching you low key rage setting the pipe - I was so impressed with the building that I immediately ran up the stairs and found all the panels and I feel most people will.

[@PK-lk6hq]

this game was veryyyy symilat to Fortresscraft Frozen Factory excluding only tower defense and mining prety deeeeeeeeeeepbut this is the best game

[@thimblebirb]

i really wish i could watch your videos on this, but i try to avoid spoilers :< take my like!

[@vikingbrit270]

“Devastated” 😉❤️

[@kanetsb]

They removed that line from DSP voice over in some patch. I was devastated...

[@wesleyconen5871]

Great video Thank you

[@petergraphix6740]

Heh, I was going to comment that you missed one, then in the last 30 seconds you found it.

[@TreQuitine]

Me too😂😂😂😂

[@tegirvaru]

thank you!

[@Jean_Mi]

I don't know what you think but I played the demo and if I remember correctly the factory graphics were less 'messy'. When you have Satisfactory, is this one worth it?

[@tobias-brandt]

Not right now. Satisfactory has much more things to do/find out because it is already near v1.0 This one is like maybe 0.2 or 0.3 compared to Satisfactories amount of content. Both are lacking QoS/real Blueprints for me.

[@Jean_Mi]

@@tobias-brandt Thanks

[@Jean_Mi]

@@tobias-brandt Thanks

[@zalmar5855]

15 input to 5 output is not one to three, it's three to one.

[@Erkle64]

It's one to three once you take into account the ore to molten metal recipe.

[@akdenali]

Thank you

[@SpitefulPenguinGaming]

This game needs SO MUCH balancing... Like, with the same space that is used for that blast furnace build, you can make probably twice as much production using "normal" smelters, and with that frackling towers the efficiency rates just do not matter anymore. It was rather interesting to get there, but once it's done, the game is done - for now, at least, until they add something to consume this amount of resources
