Sandustry drops you onto a vast, largely unexplored planet filled with distinctive biomes, unusual wildlife, ancient ruins, and abundant natural resources. Your mission begins modestly—with little more than sand and the possibility of finding gold—but soon develops into a sprawling industrial operation.

Success depends on more than simply building machines. You will need to design reliable transport networks, refine resources through several states of matter, unlock new technology, and decide which opportunities deserve your attention. You can pursue advanced logistics, recruit local creatures into your production systems, or invest valuable resources in uncovering the powers of ancient artifacts.
