About The Game

What Is Sandustry?

Sandustry is a 2D factory automation and sandbox game built around pixel-based physics. Every grain of sand, drop of water, flake of snow, seed, and resource exists as a simulated physical entity that can be mined, moved, transformed, or incorporated into a production chain.

You begin with simple resource processing and gradually expand into automated logistics using conveyors, filters, drones, pipes, pumps, and other machinery. Exploration is equally important: deep underground lie ancient structures, environmental puzzles, artifacts, and technologies that expand what your factory can do.
