Foundry (EU2012)

The foundry allows for squad wide upgrades similar to the Officer Training School.

Construction

The foundry must be constructed in the Ant Farm in order to be accessed. Cost and Time are based off 5 Engineers on Classic difficulty. Also note that all Foundry Improvements require the continued existence of the Foundry itself to be maintained, even after they were purchased.

• Cost: 3 Power, §75
• Time: 10 days
• Maintenance: $20/month

Future Combat Bonus

If the XCOM base is located in Asia or by providing Asia with full satellite coverage, commanders are granted the continent bonus "Future Combat." This bonus reduces most of the resource requirements for foundry projects by 50%. However, the requirements for Weapon Fragments, Corpses, Engineers, and base items to be improved upon (ie Alien Grenade) remain static.

Foundry Projects

List of foundry projects.

Unlike the OTS, foundry projects take time to complete similar to research projects. Additionally, several Foundry projects benefit from various Research Credits.
