This roadmap outlines our future plans for the game, including both some planned features and ideas. Please note that features mentioned here are not guaranteed and may change during our experimentation process.
We've categorized our ideas into "Under Construction" and "In Research". Your feedback on these features and ideas is valuable as we will prioritize updates based on player feedback. No features are currently guaranteed. We’d really enjoy hearing your thoughts and get your input on our roadmap. Please reach out to us on Discord or in the Paradox Forum to share your feedback.

We will be available for early access on May 2nd, 2024!
The cost during Early Access will be $29.99, regional price may vary.
We will have a launch discount of 10% between May 2 - May 16!
Players who bought the game on itch.io will get a Steam key sent out to them prior to the release — the keys are already on the way! The key will enable itch players to redeem FOUNDRY Founder's Edition on the day of Early Access release, May 2nd.
FOUNDRY Founder’s Edition contains the base game as well as the Founder’s cosmetic pack. This cosmetic pack was created for players who were there from the start or who wants to provide extra support during Early Access. FOUNDRY Founder’s Edition contains fancy skins for the office decorative objects as well as a tie and top hat to cement your reputation as a highly respected Factory Founder! The edition will be priced $34.99, and you can also buy the additional skins and items separately if you decide to get them later.
At the moment we are planning to release FOUNDRY only on Steam, but we will keep you posted if that changes in the future!
Yes, we are playable on Steam Deck :)
Yes!
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.

We want to be as transparent with our playerbase as possible and keep everyone updated about how things are going. We are now looking into various ways to make it happen (like streams, dev diaries etc), and we will let everyone know as soon as we have picked the best format!

We will share our Early Access roadmap around the Early Access release! We aim to prioritize the features based on your feedback and actively work on the game together with the community. Feel free to share your own ideas and discuss upcoming updates with us across our social channels!
In case you encounter any issues in the game please press F9 to send an in-game report, or post about it on Paradox Forum (in the Bug Reports section which will be available when the game is out) as it is our main platform for bug reporting: this is the best way to let our developers know that something is wrong.
If you bought the game previously on itch.io, you can still access your itch version of the game. However it will no longer be updated.
Gameplay questions:
It does! The multiplayer mode is mostly designed towards 2-4 players on the same server, but you can always go extra as there is no hard limit.
This is something that we’ve been working on for a while! We are currently planning to have the feature available at the Early Access launch.
Official mod support will arrive during Early Access, but the game is already moddable in large parts and there is a modding community on our Discord.
