Sandustry
Build factories inside a fully destructible world where every pixel can become a resource. Mine, process, mix, heat, freeze, transport, and automate materials while exploring underground ruins and unlocking new technologies.
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.
