Foundry

Foundry
Details
Foundries produce metal
Require:	Iron foundry
Construction:	Mineral, Copper
Consumes:	Mineral
Produces:	Iron, Tin
Other:	toggles on/off
Category:	Buildings

A foundry casts metal

You can construct and toggle a Foundry, on Buildings.

• A Foundry has a requirement to access and requires some resources to construct.
• Active Foundries consume Mineral to produce Iron and, after you research Bronze, Tin.

Access

Foundry appears, on Buildings, after you research Iron foundry on Technologies.

• You can build Foundries after you research Iron foundry.
• Iron foundry has a requirement to access and research.

Technology required:
Technology	Requirement	Research cost
Iron foundry	build 3 Libraries	Wood	1 000
		Mineral	500
		Food	200

Construction

Foundry on Buildings

You can build a Foundry, on Buildings, after you research the required technology.

• You need 500 Mineral and 5 Copper, to construct your first Foundry.
• You need 30% more resources, each time you build another one.

Example costs:
Current Foundries	Mineral	Copper
0	500	5
1	650	6.5
2	845	8.45
3	1098.5	10.99
...	...	...
n	500 × 1.3n	5 × 1.3n

Consumption

• Active Foundries consume 0.5 Mineral per second.

You can toggle Foundries, to be active or to stop consumption, with the 'Toggle' button. Active Foundries stop production, if you do not have resources to maintain them.

Resources consumed:
Consumes	Rate
Mineral	0.50 per second

Production

• Active Foundries produce 0.02 Iron per second and, after you research Bronze, produce 0.005 Tin per second.

You can toggle Foundries, to be active or to stop production, with the 'Toggle' button. Active Foundries stop production, if you do not have resources to maintain them.

Resources produced:
Produces	Rate
Iron	0.02 per second
Tin	0.005 per second

• Other factors increment Iron production and increment Tin production.

Other

• Your available Iron, its storage capacity, production rate and any bonuses to production, displays after a Foundry produces it.

• Your available Tin, its storage capacity, production rate and any bonuses to production, displays when a Foundry first produces it.
