Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sandustry?

Sandustry is an Early Access open-world game built around reshaping the world, automation and production.

How do you start a factory in Sandustry?

A source-supported early direction is Sand, Water, Wet Sand, a Shaker and Gold. Exact research costs and unlock order can change between versions.

What resources are important in Sandustry?

Early production guides focus on Sand, Water, Wet Sand, Gold and Residue because they form the first production chain and its byproduct problem.

How do you get water in Sandustry?

Confirmed sources include Rain, melted Ice, pumped underground reserves and the Snow-to-Steam-to-Rain cycle. Lumlings are shown as a community-observed source, not a fully documented official method.

Is Sandustry beginner friendly?

The first factory loop is small enough to learn, but older videos and changing Early Access rules mean current costs, unlocks and ratios should be checked before copying them.
