FOUNDRY by Channel 3 Entertainment is a first-person voxel factory-building game, which sets it apart from Satisfactory's third-person view and Factorio's top-down 2D perspective. The voxel terrain can be mined and completely reshaped, letting you carve out underground factories or flatten mountains. Combined with full 3D vertical building, you can stack production lines on multiple floors — something unique to FOUNDRY's approach to the automation genre. ### How many players can join a FOUNDRY dedicated server? FOUNDRY supports up to 16 players on a dedicated server. The server uses UDP port 3724 by default. For groups of 8-16 players with large factory builds, we recommend at least 4GB of RAM to keep conveyor systems, inserters, and splitters running smoothly across the voxel world. ### What are the server requirements for hosting a FOUNDRY dedicated server? A FOUNDRY dedicated server needs approximately 4GB of RAM for stable performance. The default network port is 3724 (UDP). Server settings are managed through a configuration file where you can adjust the server name, password, max players, and gameplay parameters. FOUNDRY is a PC-only title available through Steam, so all players connect via the Steam platform. ### How does voxel terrain affect FOUNDRY server performance? FOUNDRY's voxel terrain is fully destructible and reshapable — players can mine ores, crystals, and other resources directly from the landscape, creating tunnels and caverns. Large-scale terrain modifications across the map increase server memory usage since every block change must be tracked. NVMe storage helps with save-file performance as the world grows more complex. ### Can I build vertical multi-story factories in FOUNDRY multiplayer? Yes, FOUNDRY's full 3D building system allows vertical factory layouts with multiple floors connected by conveyor belts and logistics networks. You can design compact vertical production chains, use the blueprint system to save and share factory designs with other players, and build power generation and distribution systems across floors. A dedicated server keeps these complex builds loaded and running 24/7. ### Does FOUNDRY have combat, or is it purely a factory-building game? FOUNDRY includes combat against hostile creatures that inhabit the voxel world. While the core gameplay revolves around automation with conveyor belts, inserters, and splitters, you'll need to defend your factory from threats. This adds a survival element to the factory-building loop, especially on a multiplayer server where players can split roles between construction, automation, and base defense. ### How does the tech tree and research system work on a FOUNDRY server? FOUNDRY features a research and tech tree progression system that unlocks new machines, conveyor types, power systems, and automation tools. On a dedicated server, research progress is shared among all connected players, so a group of up to 16 people can collaborate on advancing through the tech tree. The progression moves from basic manual mining to fully automated production chains with complex logistics networks. ### Is FOUNDRY still in Early Access, and will server saves carry over to full release? FOUNDRY entered Early Access in 2024, developed by Channel 3 Entertainment. As with most Early Access titles, updates may occasionally require world resets, though the developers work to maintain save compatibility. Our automated backup system creates regular snapshots of your server, so you can roll back if an update causes issues with your factory world. ## Related - [All game servers](https://xgamingserver.com/game-servers.html) - [Documentation index](https://xgamingserver.com/llms.txt) - [Full docs](https://xgamingserver.com/llms-full.txt)
