Foundry

The foundry produces steel, one of the five basic resources. You can build a total of three foundries in your base, but the costs and requirements increase with each one you build, as follows:

The gallery below shows the foundry at all different levels.

Like other resource buildings, a foundry produces a certain amount of steel per hour, which is stored in the building. The resources can be collected and moved to your warehouse (unless your warehouse is full of that resource) by clicking on the building. Once the building reaches its capacity, it will stop producing until the resources are collected in the warehouse.

Your journal has this to say about your foundry: ''There is nothing more reliable than iron. The Empire has "Iron" in its name for a good reason - the value of this material can not be overemphasized. Iron is the base component of steel, the most popular metal in the Empire, our engineers have learned to use it everywhere, from the production of weapons to the strengthening of the armored walking machines. Workers cast steel into suitable shapes and harden it in the foundry. It is recommended that you upgrade foundry equipment regularly to increase production, as well as provide additional storage space for finished products. Construction of additional foundries should not be neglected. Steel is the basis of our Rising Empire and if the Dominion does not lay down its weapons peacefully, it will be lucky to taste our steel power.''
