Sandustry Wiki: Complete Factory Reference
The Sandustry Wiki is the official reference for the game's pixel materials, factory buildings, tools, research tree, drones, critters, and artifacts. Use this field-manual page as a guided index: start with the system you need, then confirm changing values and unlock requirements on the linked official Wiki pages.

Materials and buildings
The official reference separates materials by physical state, including terrain, solids, liquids, gases, slushy mixtures, and wisps. Its building index then groups logistics, production, fluids, thermal, energy, logic, and special structures so you can trace a resource to the machine that processes it.
Tools and research
Tools cover excavation, utility, and construction jobs, while research spends Gold, Energy, or Auralite and may require both a Factory Level and prerequisite technology. Because the research page is still marked as work in progress, confirm exact costs in the current game before planning a long unlock route.
Drones, critters, and artifacts
Automation extends beyond machines through Sweeper, Digger, Recon, and Hauler drones. Critters can be captured with the Corraller and may support production, while ancient structures contain augments and artifact puzzles that reward returning with stronger tools and later technology.
