Sandustry Guides & Tools
Falling-sand factory automation where every pixel is a resource
- Released
- Guides updated
- PC · Steam + Game Pass
Sandustry simulates terrain pixel by pixel, and every one of those pixels is a resource you can dig, move, filter and feed into a production line. It entered Early Access on 13 August 2026.
The official wiki is the place to look up what a building does. This section is for the questions that come after that: what to research first, why your filter jammed, and how much gold a pile of sand is actually worth.
Everything here is checked against official sources — the wiki, the developers’ pinned Steam posts, and the store listings — and dated so you can see how fresh it is. Because the game is in Early Access, mechanics and numbers move between patches.
