ONE GAME. A SMALL FIRST LOOP.
A practical starting point for Embergrid Foundry: make a rescue, try one mission change, and save the right file.
Open Embergrid in a new tab →This guide stays open. Starting the game, importing a file and publishing a remix are separate actions. Nothing here starts, imports or publishes automatically.
YOUR FIRST RESCUE
In the workshop, choose Start mission. Rescue every worker, then reach the green lift.
Give the blast room. A charge takes 1.9 simulation seconds. Retreat around a corner beyond its blast before approaching again. Known differences in input timing remain; don’t rely on a wall-clock countdown.
ONE USEFUL CHANGE
Choose Remix this mission. Select Floor and remove one crate. Give your mission a title.
Choose Review & play draft. Check whether your change does what you intended. A successful import is not proof that a mission can be completed.
Choose Prepare credited JSON, then Download level-pack JSON. The editable missions and credit travel together. Exporting does not publish your work.
A checkpoint does not save editor drafts. For a mission you changed, use the level-pack file described below. Keep any existing file before replacing it.
A FILE THAT FITS THE JOB
Choose Prepare campaign checkpoint, then Download checkpoint JSON.
Keeps the pack and completed mission results. The current or next mission restarts from its beginning. It does not keep live positions, health, enemies, fuses or editor drafts.
Choose Prepare credited JSON, then Download level-pack JSON.
Keeps editable missions and creator credit. It does not keep completed campaign results. Keep it separately from a campaign checkpoint.
Downloads are manual. Preparing a file is not saving it. Reopen the downloaded file to check it before relying on it. There are no automatic saves or uploads in this workshop. Avoid private information in titles or credits you may share.
WHAT WE CHECKED / 11 NOVEMBER 2026
These are internal desktop checks of the hosted workshop, not an independent player review or a promise that every device and mission works.
The full sequential six-mission campaign, mobile behavior and outside-player outcomes remain unestablished. Known input-timing differences remain. The game’s own page may carry older, broader verification cautions; these notes describe only the narrower checks above.
