Sandustry is a falling-sand factory automation game by Lantto Games and Hooded Horse, in Early Access on Steam, GOG, and PC Game Pass. Every pixel is a physical object: you mine Sand from Sandsoil, mix it with Water into Wet Sand, run it over Shakers to extract Gold, and burn the leftover Slag for a second payout.
Gold funds your Research tree — Shakers, conveyors, filters, pipes, tools, drones, and deeper upgrades. Mid-game you grow Flowers for Amethelis petals, mix them with RedSand into Voidbloom, and feed the Flux Emanator to harvest Fluxite. These guides cover the full loop from your first gold line to hands-off automation.
