Sandustry Wiki: Guides, Resources & Systems
Find beginner help, resource guides, facility notes, Steam access, and release information in one place.
Find the right guide for your next step.
Start with beginner help, then follow resources, facilities, and access pages as your factory grows.
Sandustry Buildings
Helpful notes for the current guide.
Sandustry Tools
World interaction rules and useful capability checks.
Sandustry Tools
This reference reproduces the official legacy Tools list: eight tools plus Digger and Hauler under Drones. The current Official Wiki catalog is broader, and /tools/ remains the separate community utilities hub.
How to Break Crackstone in Sandustry
Crackstone is hard, but the rule is simple: the Shovel and Gun do not affect it; other digging tools can destroy it, and the block leaves nothing behind.
Sandustry Tools
Use SandPrints to browse community Blueprints, the read-only Save Explorer for local saves, the Inspector to render v2 Blueprints, and the Codec to convert strings and JSON.
Sandustry Production Calculator
Model a factory with your own current-build observations. The calculator compares per-stage output and machine counts, then highlights the likely bottleneck locally in your browser.
Sandustry Sandprints
Browse a fast, searchable screenshot library for factory ideas. Every local card is labeled as a visual reference; importable strings remain on the original SandustryVault service.
Sandustry Save Explorer
Use the external Save Explorer as a read-only map reference, keep an untouched backup, and verify every decoded layer in the current game.
Sandustry Blueprint Inspector
Inspect a supported v2 Blueprint string without treating its rendered map as proof that the build will place, flow, or run correctly.
Sandustry Blueprint Codec
Convert supported Blueprint strings and JSON with the external community tool while preserving an untouched original and checking version compatibility.

Sandustry Systems Guide
See how Research, logistics, production, tools, drones, and material states fit together before you expand the factory.
Sandustry Tier List
A practical priority list for a new factory: start with the loop that moves and refines materials, then add the systems that solve your current bottleneck.
Sandustry Logic Guide
The verified Logic core is small: sensors emit a constant signal from a 4×4 area, the Signal Linker wires a sender to a receiver, and a Buffer forwards that signal unchanged.
Sandustry Access
Live store and availability pages.
Sandustry Beginner
The first interface, material, and research decisions.
Sandustry Resources
Material behavior for the factory loop.
Sandustry Fluxite Guide
The official page calls the resource Fluxite. It appears naturally in small amounts and later can be generated with the Flux Emanator; for a large setup, check the current game for exact rates.
Sandustry Lava Guide
Lava is a deep-world liquid that can be frozen into a solid handling loop. Cinder can be moved, reignited, and used in a controlled filter setup for automation.
Sandustry Materials
A player-friendly index of the current official material catalog, with the old density chart clearly marked as historical and links to detailed Water, Lava, and Fluxite guides.
Sandustry Water Guide
Water is a critical liquid for wetting Sand and Seeds. Plan a sustainable source, understand where flow is blocked, and keep exact rates separate from verified mechanics.
Sandustry Facilities
Focused references for later systems and buildings.
Sandustry Guides
Helpful notes for the current guide.
Sandustry Blueprints Guide
Use the in-game selection and Blueprint tools to save a layout, move it between saves, and check prerequisites before placing it.
Sandustry Shaker Setup
A readable Shaker setup keeps Wet Sand moving, gives Gold and Residue room to separate, and makes the first blockage easy to find.
Sandustry Artifact Guide
The Locator scans for the nearest Artifact after charging with Void Juice; the official Steam achievement adds a bounded clue, while exact first-Artifact locations and a complete reward map remain unconfirmed.
Sandustry Community
Helpful notes for the current guide.
Sandustry Community
Choose the right community surface for visual inspiration, discussion, Blueprint help, or a browser utility without losing the original source.

A searchable, dated community index with original context and direct links; replies, voting, author credit, edits, and moderation stay on Reddit.
