Foundry: the factory game built for co-op — if your server can keep up
Foundry is the first-person, voxel-based factory builder from Channel 3 Entertainment — think Satisfactory meets Factorio with terrain you can reshape and build through. You mine resources, design production lines, build conveyor systems, and scale into an industrial empire with friends.
Multiplayer is where Foundry gets good. Splitting tasks between players, collaborating on layouts, and managing shared resources makes megabase-scale builds actually achievable. And like every factory game, it raises the same question: who keeps the world running when nobody’s home?
Why Foundry needs real server hardware
Foundry’s conveyor physics and voxel systems get CPU-heavy as your factory scales — and the game has no hard player cap, so performance is determined entirely by the hardware underneath. That makes host choice matter more than in almost any other title in this genre:
- Ryzen 9-class CPUs: Big factories with thousands of machines need strong single-thread performance.
- Enough RAM: Solo/duo factories run on 5GB; groups of 3-6 want 8GB; heavy automation and 7+ players want 12-16GB.
- Mod loader support: Foundry’s Steam Workshop mods need to be installable server-side without SFTP gymnastics.
What EVLBOX offers for Foundry
EVLBOX hosts Foundry servers from $16/month ($12/month on the limited Dallas deal) in four locations: Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, and Falkenstein, Germany. Plans include:
- Built-in Mod Loader: Zip your workshop mods, upload once, and the tool installs them automatically. No SFTP, no manual server-side setup.
- Tiered specs: Base (5GB/2 cores) for solo-duo, Builder (8GB/4 cores) for 3-6 players, Pro (12GB/6 cores) and Ultra-X (16GB/8 cores, DDR5, Ryzen 9 7950X, Dallas-only) for big groups and mega factories.
- Automatic backups every 2 hours — offsite, restore in seconds.
- Save portability: Upload a single-player save to the server, or download the server save to keep playing locally.
- Instant setup: Provisioned the moment you order; connect through Foundry’s in-game server browser.
- GameSwap: Factory complete? Freeze it and run Satisfactory or Factorio on the same box.
The bottom line
Foundry is the closest thing to Satisfactory-with-voxels, and its performance scales with your ambition. If your group is serious about building big, pick a host with Ryzen CPUs and a proper mod loader — your conveyor empire will thank you.
