Hello everyone!
Update 2: Galactic Commerce will be released May 6th! It brings robot production and trading to the forefront of FOUNDRY and challenges you to build bigger and better than ever before, all while mastering the complexities of interstellar trade.
We have previously talked about what is to come in this update in our previous DevBlogs. You can find more in-depth information in our Commerce Preview (1-4) DevBlogs.
Here is a summary of all the things you will experience in the new update:
- Diversify your product lines and choose from multiple new robot types to sell on the open market. Focus on cuddly service bots, hulking transportation droids or deadly war machines and unlock further options through research.
- Your space station is your trading hub; you’ll sell your goods to the rest of the galaxy from here. Deliver products from the moon’s surface using transport ships that travel to and from the station using the new Shipping Pad building.
- Sell robots in exchange for Firmarlite, the precious metal that serves as the galaxy’s currency. Use it to craft new robot parts or upgrade modules for your space station.
- Galactic trade lives in the Star Map, a procedurally generated, infinitely replayable map packed with sectors and planets, each with their own specific product demands.
- Buy larger transport ships to deliver products in greater quantities, unlock new trade opportunities by purchasing Star Map upgrades or invest in an orbital terraforming laser to resculpt your moon’s surface quickly, but perhaps not neatly.
- Carefully plan your factory’s expansion to meet the demands of the market, and take advantage of bonuses to maximize profits.
- Bring in the big bucks by acquiring trade licenses to connect new planets to your ever-expanding network. Turbocharge your revenue and outperform your rivals to reach the top of the galactic sales leaderboard.
- You’ll need a distribution network capable of snaking its way through the stars to supply distant sectors. Buy and manage a fleet of spaceships to support your trading vision.
We hope that you are just as excited for Update 2: Galactic Commerce as we are. Keep an eye on our YouTube in the following weeks as we willl reveal more details about the upcoming update!
