Spiritfarer Foundry: How To Build + How To Use

Foundry
Unlocked By	Astrid’s “Bars of Gold” Request Hobbyist Blueprint Station
Construction Materials	10 Coals 10 Oak Planks
Improvement	12 Nebula Fabrics 8 Lightnings in a Bottle 7 Bright Jellies 510 Glims

To use the Foundry, place Coal in the furnace and your choice of metal ore in the compartment. Then work the bellows alternately within the indicated temperature until the thermometer reaches its peak and releases the output ingots.

These ingots are then used for the construction of various ship facilities and upgrades.

Unlocking The Foundry

You can find Astrid as the leader of a strike at Bottom Line Corp.

To unlock the Foundry, you will need to have the spirit Astrid on your ship.

Once Astrid is on the ship, follow these initial requests of hers:

Feed Your Elders
Three Sisters

After this, Astrid will give you the “Bars of Gold” request and ask you to upgrade to the Hobbyist Blueprint Station. This upgrade requires:

This unlocks the blueprints for building the Foundry, as well as a couple other building facilities.

How To Build the Foundry

Foundry Building Requirements
10 Coals	Coal is mined from nodes. You can find these nodes in: Hoseki Quarry (X: -38, Y: 228) Mount Toroyama (X: -99, Y: 34) Kalstein Mines (X: -99, Y: 117)
10 Oak Planks	Made by cutting logs in the Sawmill. Get oak logs by cutting trees in: Gurenu Fields (X: -65, Y: 55)· Resuteno Meadows (X: -97, Y: -25) Iwashima Countryside (X: -64, Y: 16)

10 Coals

Coal is mined from nodes.

You can find these nodes in:

Hoseki Quarry (X: -38, Y: 228)
Mount Toroyama (X: -99, Y: 34)
Kalstein Mines (X: -99, Y: 117)

10 Oak Planks

Get oak logs by cutting trees in:

Gurenu Fields (X: -65, Y: 55)·
Resuteno Meadows (X: -97, Y: -25)
Iwashima Countryside (X: -64, Y: 16)

You can also build more than one Foundry. However, building a new one doubles the required materials that you need.

How To Use the Foundry

Astrid will teach you the basics of the Foundry.

Once you build the Foundry, Astrid will head inside and give you the basics of using it. Here’s how:

Step 1: Head inside and interact with the furnace in the middle to place Coal inside. You can put as many as you like.

Step 2: Go to the left side and interact with the compartment. This opens your inventory and shows you all the metal and glass items that you can smelt. You can choose up to 50 of the same item.

Step 3: After confirming the items, a minigame will start. Interact with the bellows on each side in an alternating manner to push the needle up to the designated temperature.

Each ore will have its own temperature that you need to maintain, and going over that indicator will make the furnace overheat.

Step 4: Keep using the bellows and maintain the needle in the designated spot until the thermometer fills up. Once this happens, the ingots will fall on the basket at the right, and you can collect them there.

Repeat as much as you need.

Keep the temperature within the indicated range while pushing on the bellows.

Here are all of the ores you can put inside the Foundry, as well as their outputs:

Input	Output
Aluminum Ore	Aluminum Ingot
Copper Ore	Copper Ingot
Gold Ore	Gold Ingot
Iron Ore	Iron Ingot
Pulsar Ore	Pulsar Ingot
Silver Ore	Silver Ingot
Zinc Ore	Zinc Ingot
Empty Bottle	Glass
Mackerel	Failed Experiment
Old Shoe	Household Glue

Note: The failed experiment and household glue are both obtained via one of Stanley’s requests.

Foundry Improvement Upgrades

The “A Little Bit of Sun” errand from Francis leads you to the Foundry Improvement.

To unlock the Foundry improvement, you will need to first visit Iwashima Countryside. Then you’ll need to collect the treasure map from the “A Little Bit of Sun” errand provided by Francis the Wandering Merchant.

This treasure map will lead you to the location X: -58, Y: -52, and you can obtain the blueprint for the Foundry improvement by diving into the glowing part of the water.

Once the Foundry is upgraded, all of the output from each material you smelt will be doubled. This makes it easier to collect construction materials.

Foundry Improvement Requirements
Material	Where/How to Get
12 Nebula Fabrics	Made by weaving Nebula Thread in the upgraded Loom. Nebula Thread is made by weaving Nebula Fiber at the Loom, and Nebula Fiber is collected from the Nebula Pillbugs event that Alice introduces to you.
8 Lightnings in a Bottle	These are farmed via the Thunderstorms event that Atul introduces to you.
7 Bright Jellies	Farmed from the Bright Jelly event that Gwen introduces to you. Event locations are at: Stage 1 – X:80, Y: 92 Stage 2 – X: 63, Y: 163 Stage 3 – X: -8, Y: 92
510 Glims	Acquired by completing requests, getting specific items, or selling items from your inventory.
