- Since there are a few... conflicts rising, I turned on pvp on hand-to-hand combat so we can start experimenting with it.

We pushed ourselves to release the UE5.1 update knowing that it would have some issues and we are grateful to everyone that's played since that update and helped us to fix the many bugs and issues that came with UE5.1.

We're confident that before long you'll see significant performance gains and an overall better experience thanks to the features in Unreal Engine 5, and we'll continue updating as frequently as we can to get rid of any remaining bugs.

We are aware of several problems preventing players from playing the game. Most of those issues should be resolved; just make sure you're using the default OpenXR launch option.

If you're experiencing the small menu bug or have any other main menu or HUD issues, please try the compatibility mode as shown here.



The DX12 launch option is available for those that want to improve their performance, but it is experimental right now and is known to have caused crashes for many players. Make sure your drivers are updated, and if you're still crashing in this mode then please use the first option.

We're also including the Vulkan renderer, which is a bit more stable as well. If you're experiencing the D3D crash or want to try getting even better performance, you can try the Vulkan renderer by using the DX12 launch option and including the launch command "-vulkan" as shown here. This is also experimental, and if you run into any issues then please use the default OpenXR launch option.



Melee is something that we should have added to the game a LONG time ago. We've had a work-in-progress version of melee for nearly a year now, but it hasn't quite fulfilled our expectations for what we think good melee in a multiplayer FPS should look like.

This version of melee that you'll see in this update also doesn't meet our expectations, but we need melee for a new game mode and we figured if it's live already, we'll have even more reason to iterate on it and make it better.

The current knife model is a placeholder, and everything about melee is subject to improvement. We welcome your feedback as we iterate on this and make melee that is both fun and balanced!


Scoutzknivez is a new TDM-based game mode with snipers, knives, and low-gravity jumping. All players are equipped with the same loadout of an MR96 bolt-action sniper, a knife (WIP), and two impact grenades. The low gravity and increased movement speed allow you to run and jump around the maps with complete freedom as you try to 360-no-scope enemies into another dimension. The first team to get 50 kills or the team with the highest score after 10 minutes wins the match.

Right now the game mode is only available on Cliffside, but we'll soon add it to other maps as we polish the mode up!



With the addition of jumping for game modes like Scoutzknivez, we realized we really needed a good button for jumping that's convenient and easy to use. We took this opportunity to rework all of the bindings so that A (Quest 2) on your main hand can be used for jumping.

That button was previously used to change the fire rate when holding a gun, which you can now do by clicking in the thumbstick with whichever hand is holding a gun.

We also moved the push-to-talk button to Y (Quest 2) on your offhand when you're not holding a gun in that hand.

Similar changes have been made to all supported controllers.



We've made some improvements to the MR96 bolt reloading mechanic. This is a very difficult feature to get exactly right, so please share your feedback with us as we try to get it to feel smooth and natural.

Listening to the community, we've made many adjustments to TTK. We recognize many players were not happy with the TTK in the UE5 update, so we've made many adjustments to bring it closer to how it was before the update while retaining our ultimate goal of making the game more fun for everyone. We know players want to know the exact changes to damage and recoil per gun, but we've found it very useful to get feedback from the community without releasing exact details. In future updates, after the TTK is more stable, we may include more detailed information.

We've added a victory and defeat screen at the end of every match. Your team's score shows in blue while the enemy's shows in red!

We also made a lot of polish changes to our newest map, Cliffside. Jump in and let us know what you think!

We updated the Patreon wall in the armory. Thank you to all of our loyal supporters!

• Firearm smoothing now works as intended.
  
• Severe performance issues on Este should be improved.
  
• Servers, including custom game servers, now work as intended; no more infinite loading.
  
• And many other minor and major bugs...

We look forward to seeing all of your feedback and bug reports in Discord.

See you all in-game!

Love you all, AEXLAB

Hello everyone,

After weeks of testing and refining, we are happy to merge Foundation’s latest experimental version to the main game. This update brings significant changes in the form of game balance and added features. As such, it is advisable to start over; while previous saves will indeed load, some of the work introduced in this update will undoubtedly disrupt villages’ productivity, happiness and more. That said, there’s a lot to be excited about with 1.9.4. Read on for all the details!


The Butchery, a brand-new building unlocked in the first tier of the common progression path, has been added to the game! This means boars are now much more useful as a resource: after placing Hunter’s Huts near dense forests, you will be able to capture the animals. Then, butchers will turn them into meat to be consumed at your markets or sold to traders.

Such a change fits nicely with the fact that villagers—including Serfs—now require two different food types to be happy.




The Tavern has undergone significant changes in this newest version of the game. You are now able to create berry brews—a special drink made of berries and water—at the Berry Brewery. Served alongside a delicious meal, this is sure to be a hit among your people!

Introducing a new drink serves two main purposes: adding variety and perhaps more importantly, letting you deal with the fact that commoners, citizens and soldiers now require to be entertained! This new need affects happiness, so you want to make sure concerned villagers can quench their thirst.




Update 1.9.4 features a trove of progression and balancing-related changes. Here’s a quick glance at what you can expect:

• Butchery workplace and meat resource
  
• Entertainment need, berry brews and berry brewery workplace at the Tavern
  
• Levy mandate
  
• Kinstone Abbey trade route
  
• Discoveries
  
• New advice
  
• New action bar shortcuts for mandates and village aspirations
  
• Quick promotions
  
• Resources linked to some workplaces are now displayed on click

• Tax Office was moved to the Labour progression path
  
• Additional food need for villagers
  
• Villagers have a chance to leave starting at -25% happiness
  
• More workplaces now require higher villager statuses
  
• Removed residential availability from immigration factors
  
• Trade routes have added resources to buy and sell from
  
• Adjusted plenty of building construction costs
  
• Events have been improved across the board
  
• Several unlockables have been moved around
  
• Your second territory no longer has an upkeep cost

The exhaustive list of changes can be found in our game design changelog on our official website.


Update 1.9.4 adds a new way to access “emergency funds” with the Levy mandate. Activating this mandate grants you a large quantity of coins at the cost of villagers’ happiness. The debuff is applied for a set duration (currently: 30 days) and stacks should you activate the Levy multiple times. Use with caution!

The Levy mandate has been added as a result of the Tax Office function now being exclusive to the Labor progression path. Our design goals with this change is to further associate taxes with this estate and encourage better decision-making regarding early to mid-game profit.




A new, Clergy-allied trade route has opened! Merchants from Kinstone Abbey sell a variety of useful and rarer resources such as gold bars, gems or marble. They’ll be looking for herbs, honey and planks to name a few. Unlocking this trade route requires you to produce manuscripts at the Scriptorium.




Our engine team has been hard at work developing behind-the-scenes optimizations for Foundation. Chief among them is our rebuilt transportation system that is being rolled out as part of this update.

Before, villagers sometimes had to travel long distances to satisfy their needs and seek resources, which was more obvious while facing shortages. This led to scenarios where villagers would cross the whole map—so to say—just to reach a market or specific building like a warehouse or a church. Not good.

From now on, our transport algorithm further favors local management of resources and needs. To put it in more concrete terms, villagers will associate with markets or buildings near where they live. The same principle applies for production chains: a weaver hut requiring wool will get it from the closest available warehouse stocking some, itself linked to the closest sheep farm—effectively giving a whole new meaning to “hubs” within your villages. They will operate in a much more satisfying and natural way.


We are pleased to share an updated version of our map generator. When we first released this feature, we got a lot of feedback about terrain that felt a bit too bumpy, so we started iterating on a new version of this tool that would allow for flatter topographies. We took this opportunity to add several new configurable parameters as well, in order to have maps feel even better than before.

Each map type has its own set of parameters you can adjust to your wishes. For instance, the Fluvial map type lets you modify the following parameters:

• River
  
• Island
  
• Slope
  
• Cliff
  
• Promontory
  
• Hill

If you are particularly happy with one of the procedurally generated creations, here’s another bit of good news: you will be able to easily share them thanks to a unique map code system! Input the alphanumeric code into the designated space, click the confirmation button and voila: you have a new world to settle in!


Several jobs now require more advanced villager statuses. In previous iterations of the game, you could (mostly) ignore promotions and still manage to get all production chains going. However, we feel like some jobs should require a bit more investment and decision making before your villagers can access them.

Two examples of jobs adjusted to the new reality of higher status requirements are the Tax Collector and Bailiff, which now require Commoners at a minimum.


As you will now spend a lot more time dealing with promotions, it no longer made sense to limit this function to once every 30 days. Hence why with 1.9.4, we’re introducing two important quality of life changes regarding promotions:

• You can now use the promotion mandate at will
  
• You can now promote villagers directly from their detailed information window

This update also introduces easy identification of resources in the world from select workplaces such as the Hunter’s Hut. In this example, selecting the building reveals where boars live on your map. Using the Extraction paint tool produces a similar result, displaying available berry and stone sources, so you can plan your village accordingly.






Immigration waves will now feel more rewarding and steady across the board. Previously, passersby would take into account multiple factors before deciding whether or not to join your village. One such factor, housing, has been completely removed from the equation, effectively softening the difficulty associated with immigration.

Another change we made is that unless your immigration rate is nil or disabled, you will always get a minimum of one newcomer per immigration wave.


Foundation is a city-building game with quite a lot of interconnected systems that you learn to master over time. We want to make sure this doesn’t hamper your fun nor prove too daunting, so we thought of an additional tool to help you learn the ropes: discoveries.

Crucial systems or concepts are now accompanied by one-time notifications whose stated goal is to provide assistance in a concise way. We are confident this new feature, in addition to help topics, will answer most questions that may arise while playing.
