Galactic Foundry: Idle Factory

Galactic Foundry is a relaxed idle factory game on Ferrum-7, a small rust asteroid floating in deep space. Mine ore, power your machines with solar energy, smelt alloy and ship it from your Cargo Dock for credits. Spend them on upgrades and watch your foundry grow - in 3D, right in front of you. HOW IT PLAYS • One production chain, five machines: Ore Mine, Solar Array, Smelter, Cargo Dock and Research Lab. • Find the bottleneck. The game points at the machine that holds production back, and every upgrade shows exactly what it will add before you buy it. • Your machines change their look as they level up: new models at levels 5, 10 and 25. • Research 18 technologies in three branches: Automation, Logistics and Robotics. Line up to three more in the queue (five after a Quantum milestone): each starts by itself when the previous one ends, even while you are away, and a Mastery on repeat keeps the lab busy when the queue runs out. • Take cargo contracts, finish three daily missions every day and collect 113 trophies. • Your foundry keeps working while you are away: up to 8 hours of offline production at the start, more through research and Quantum milestones. • Quantum Reset: when a run slows down, start over with Quantum Cores. Every core adds +10% to all production for good, Quantum Theory stays researched, and 25 free Quantum milestones, from Head Start to the final Singularity, unlock as you earn more cores. WEEKLY CHALLENGE Twice a week a new challenge starts with its own rules - for example Frozen Planet, where solar output is cut but alloy sells for more. Everyone gets the same start and the same rules, every run lasts exactly 36 hours from the moment you join, and our server checks every run. Gems, ads and purchases have no effect on the challenge. Place in the top half, top 10% or top 1% for gems and a badge on your profile. The challenge needs an internet connection; the main game also plays offline. FAIR BY DESIGN • No forced ads. Videos are optional, and each offer says exactly what you get: double offline earnings, a 10-minute production boost, a supply drop of credits or 15 minutes off the running research. Each kind of video has a daily limit, shown with the offer. • Daily missions never need ads or purchases. • Stellar Gems can be earned by playing (trophies, the daily bonus, weekly challenge rewards) and spent on time warps, faster research, new contract offers and new looks. Time warps and faster research cost 1 gem per minute of waiting, less on the longer time warps. • Cosmetic looks (bot skins and base themes) can be bought with gems. They only change how your foundry looks. • Optional in-app purchases: Stellar Gem packs, the one-time Founder Pack (400 gems, the Founder Bots skin and a profile badge) and the one-time Supporter Pack (permanent x2 production in the main game, +2 h offline limit and a profile badge). None of them affect the weekly challenge. YOUR PROGRESS AND YOUR DATA • No sign-up: the game creates a random player ID, no e-mail or real name. • Your save is backed up to our server. • Usage statistics and crash reports stay off until you switch them on in Settings. • Export your data or delete your account at any time in Settings; deletion also works on our website. Galactic Foundry is in English. It needs Android 9 or newer and a device with OpenGL ES 3.0.
