What is Sandustry?

Sandustry is a factory automation, exploration, and base-building game from Lantto Games where every pixel can behave as a physical resource. You mine a fully destructible planet, process materials, and build increasingly complex automated production lines.

Its defining mechanic is the interaction between materials and physics: ice melts into water, water boils into steam, sand absorbs water, and resources can be heated, cooled, filtered, transported, and transformed.
