What is Sandustry?
A factory automation game built around pixel-based resources and a destructible world.
Game definition
A factory game where the material itself is physical.
Sandustry's official store framing turns pixels into resources: mine them, move them, process them, and build production chains through a destructible world.
Official premise · practical guidance is identified separately.

FAQ
Before you use the manual
Is this an official Sandustry website?
No. It is an independent guide with clear source notes.
Are gameplay guides official?
No. Official facts come from developer, publisher, or store pages; inferred and community guidance should be checked in the current build.
Why are four topics missing?
They are planned for future pages once enough reliable information is available.
