The foundry is one the most important buildings in Long War; as with the default game, it is essential for upgrading existing equipment and unlocking new items for further development. The Foundry is unlocked very early during the campaign and it is highly advised to get one up and running as quickly as possible. Besides enhancing and creating new technologies, the foundry also counts as a workshop for adjacency purposes.
Foundry projects are usually small passive upgrades for all parts of the tactical gameplay but also requires a significant investment of resources, especially meld. These can range from boosting pistols to crit more often, to collecting more materials during missions.
One of the most important upgrade paths that the foundry gives access to is Interceptor upgrades, making them viable against the Alien UFOs.
