Sandustry
Sandustry is a pixel-physics factory automation sandbox where every grain of sand can become part of a production system. Mine a destructible planet, process reactive materials, and build increasingly complex factories while uncovering ancient artifacts.

What is Sandustry?
Sandustry is a Steam factory-automation and sandbox strategy game by Lantto Games, published by Hooded Horse. Every pixel can be mined, mixed, processed, moved, or destroyed in a reactive open world.
Start with simple sand processing and gradually expand into conveyors, filters, drones, pipes, pumps, research, resource reactions, and artifact hunting. Because materials obey physics, every production line becomes both an engineering challenge and an experiment.
