The Foundry is a version of the assembling machine from Vulcanus that specializes in metallurgy. It has a built-in 50% productivity bonus.

The foundry can only be crafted on Vulcanus due to its higher atmospheric pressure, but it can be used on other planets once transported via space platform.

Recipes

The Foundry has twenty available unique recipes, of which one must be set before it can begin processing.

Note that the recipe for making concrete can use Productivity modules, despite the regular Concrete recipe not being able to use prods.

Additionally, the Foundry can also make other foundries, all belt types and holmium plates, in which case their recipes are the same as with assembling machines.

Efficiency

Most of the foundry's recipes are more efficient than creating the same items in a furnace or assembling machine. However, because of the built-in +50% productivity bonus (which applies even to items like belts that don't benefit from productivity modules), and because the same bonus also applies to the recipes for molten iron and molten copper, the actual efficiency gains from using a foundry are much higher than the value listed in the recipe.

The table below compares the values of the base recipes (with 1 ore = 10 molten metal), and then shows the actual output of the recipe with the default foundry bonuses of 4 crafting speed and 150% productivity (1 ore = 15 molten metal). For example, inserting 200 iron ore into a foundry with no modules installed would result in 3,000 molten iron which could be turned into 450 iron plates.

Low density structure

The numbers in the table are relative to using Electric furnaces. However it is possible to use the highly efficient Foundries to make the intermediates, which requires even less ore, but more plastic:
