Update 3 on the Experimental Branch

Hello everyone,

Update 3 is now available as an experimental version on the experimental branch. For an overview of the new content and more details in general check out last week's FOUNDRY Friday blog post.

We’re planning to maintain the experimental branch for a bit over a month to collect feedback before the update will be officially released in January. We've created a separate thread (linked below) for discussion.

Please keep in mind that experimental means it isn’t meant for you to treat it as the real update yet, instead you should see it as a preview. There could be bugs, there is no guarantee of saves not breaking (never override your existing saves when playing experimental), and there could be missing polish. That being said, we're aiming for the highest possible quality for a test version and we’ll always try to address any issues as quickly as possible. For now you’ll have to restart a new save, but support for existing saves will be added during the time leading up to the official release. Also the official release will support continuing existing saves.

Hope you’ll enjoy the new content!

Community4 Sep 2026DevBlog #111 | Foundry Fridays: Blueprint GhostsHello everyone! Two blog posts ago we shared our first preview of the upcoming blueprint system . We asked for feedback about the gamification of the system and the feedback was almost unanimous in asking for it being more than just copy & paste of buildings.
