Sandustry

Sandustry is a factory automation game set on unexplored planets with diverse biomes and destructible landscapes. You mine, mix, process and destroy the resources around you, starting with sifting gold from sand and building a factory that can help assess the planet for further industrialization. You can pursue advanced processing and logistics, use local wildlife, or hunt for artifacts left by an ancient civilization.

Build your factory

Start with conveyor belts, then expand your production chains with filters, drones, pipes, pumps and other parts. Unlock technologies as your factory grows, and use nature to support your work. You can build tightly optimized production lines or sprawling networks of conveyor belts and lifts.

Every pixel is a physical entity with its own properties, from grains of sand and flakes of snow to seeds, spores and chips of ice. Resources react with each other and their surroundings: heat melts ice into water, boiling water turns to rising steam, and steam can return as rain if it reaches the sky. Sand absorbs nearby water, gradually draining limited reservoirs and producing wet sand that can be sifted for gold. Watered seeds bloom into flowers that can be ignited to produce vital resources.

Explore the planet

Search beneath the surface for the remains of an ancient civilization. Overcome its challenges to reach vaults containing knowledge and power. You can break through ice with a flamethrower or find a way to redirect lava.

Modding tools

Sandustry is built with modding in mind. Use dedicated tools to customize visuals, create hand-crafted maps, add buildings and processes to production chains, or overhaul the game. You can also share your creations.
