ABOUT THIS GAME
What is Sandustry?
Sandustry is a factory automation and sandbox simulation game developed by Lantto Games and published by Hooded Horse. Every pixel behaves like a physical resource that can be mined, moved, heated, mixed, processed or destroyed.
You begin with simple resource processing and gradually unlock conveyors, filters, drones, pipes, pumps and more advanced production chains. Exploration is just as important as automation, with destructible terrain, different physical reactions and ancient artifacts hidden deep underground.
