The Foundry is the section of your Orbiter responsible for crafting Warframes, weapons, and other gear.
It’s where you turn blueprints and resources into usable items.

• Press ESC and click on EQUIPMENT.
• Then click on FOUNDRY.

• Press X to access the foundry.

crafting an item involves several steps:

• Obtain blueprints for the item you want to craft.
• Blueprints can be purchased from the Market module in the Orbiter or obtained from Research rooms in a Dojo.
• Some blueprints are rewards from bosses, Nightwave Offerings, or Orokin Void and Orokin Derelict missions.

• Blueprints require materials (resources or intermediate parts) and some Credits.
• Certain weapons may even require another weapon or two to construct (usually dual-wielded secondary weapons).

• Initialize the build process in the Foundry.
• The Foundry will continue building the item even when you’re logged out.
• Items with long build times (like Warframes) will be available in a set number of days regardless of in-game playtime.

• Once the item is complete, claim it from the Foundry.
• It will be placed in your inventory for use.

• Keep Forma, Orokin Reactors, and Orokin Catalysts.
• Use Forma to polarize slots and optimize your builds.

• Purchase additional Warframe and weapon slots using Platinum.
• Prioritize Warframe slots, as you’ll collect more Warframes than weapons.
