Production
- A Foundryman produces 0.01 Steel per second.
- Foundrymen stop production, if you do not have resources to maintain them.
| Resources produced: | |
|---|---|
| Produces | Rate |
| Steel | 0.01 per second |
- Other factors increment Steel production.
Other
- An active Blast furnace:
- consumes 0.25 Mineral per second per Foundryman.
- produces 0.01 Iron per second per Foundryman, before any bonuses.
Trivia
Foundrymen are very serious people, as they work in a dangerous environment, however (on very rare occasions) some have been seen to smile (usually after a blast furnace has been built, as they love pouring molten metal and are happiest when working). Foundrymen are well known to have a steely constitution but still don't like to be alone in a dark room.
