What is Sandustry?
Sandustry is a factory automation and strategy game in which every pixel is a physical resource. Players explore a vast destructible world, mine terrain, and transform reactive materials through increasingly complex production chains.
Water, sand, ice, steam, plants, and heat interact with one another, making the environment part of every factory design. Beyond automation, players can explore deep biomes, recover ancient artifacts, use destructive tools, and extend the game through Steam Workshop mods.
