moves through it.

Sandustry is a factory game where state matters. The same material can flow, sink, burn, freeze, or turn into a different production problem.

Every grain has
a next state.

Begin with water and sand, build the Gold loop, then use the byproducts to reach seeds, flowers, energy, and Fluxite.

What is Sandustry?

A factory built inside the terrain.

Sandustry combines automation, exploration, and base building in a world where each pixel is a working material. Build logistics around density, heat, fluid flow, and what your machines can actually process.

Field notes

Before you dig deeper.

Mod and artifact documentation is being expanded. These fundamentals are verified routes to start with.

What is Sandustry?

Sandustry is a factory automation, exploration, and base-building game set in fully destructible pixel worlds.

How do I make Gold?

Mix Sand and Water into Wet Sand, process it on a Shaker, then refine the resulting chain with the right machinery.

Can Water become renewable?

Yes. The official Wiki documents a Snow-to-Steam-to-rain route that can create a renewable supply when planned correctly.

Where should I start?

Begin with the Gold loop, learn basic conveyors and filters, then build toward Lava handling and Kinetic Press processing.
