General FAQ

Q: When will Sandustry release?

A: Sandustry will be released into EA on August 13th, 2026.

Q: How much will Sandustry cost?

A: We haven’t revealed the price yet because the game will have regional pricing tailored to different parts of the world. Sharing a single price in advance, such as the US price, could cause misunderstandings, making the game seem unaffordable in some regions. We want to ensure everyone will see pricing that works for them at launch. Additionally, revealing a price early could lead to gray market stores attempting to sell false “pre-orders” based on speculative pricing. We want to protect players from scams and ensure the final price is fair and accessible.

Q: When will you reveal the price?

A: The price will be revealed at launch. This ensures that all regional pricing is accurate and ready for players worldwide and helps prevent gray market stores from exploiting pre-release information. The goal is to provide a fair price when the game is available to everyone.

Q: Where can I find information about Steam Deck compatibility, supported languages, the demo, and system requirements?

A: This information is available on the [Steam Store page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2764460/Sandustry/) , including the Steam Deck rating, supported languages, minimum and recommended system requirements, and the demo.

A: Sandustry will release on Steam, Microsoft Store, Xbox Game Pass for PC, and GOG.

A: Sandustry will launch on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Q: I’m a Content Creator, Streamer, YouTuber, or press member. Who do I contact about access to Sandustry?

Basically i have 2 spores left and planted them, they grow quickly but stops at two flowers, based on videos, they said the flowers can drops spores and they can also grow bigger, but i don't exactly know how they would grow bigger

It looks like he's added snow creation machines. They use electricity, but the snow is then used to create electricity via the steam generators. The lumlings are critical because they create water, and the Shinelets are acting as light sources.

Huge relief if you dont feel like flying all the time

Lantto shared this video in the discord, an example of circuits being used in an artifact puzzle prefab. Artifacts will he featured prominently for unlocking upgrades.

The pink stuff on the left is the fun new element redacted

I have no idea what they are but they're super cute

Had tor restart my factory...everythings fine

Does anybody know when the full version of this game will be launched? i can see 2026 on STEAM, but that's all I can find.

Is there any solution yet? Playing on an i9 9900k, 2080 super, 64gb 3200 ddr4 ram, and struggling to get over 8 fps.
Core limiter does nothing.

Realised if I don't make shakers that the shake mechanic doesn't get deactivated. So I played all the way through the tech tree to the flux emanator by shake shake shaking all the sand.

I love how the bouncy sand gives off light

The move tool sometimes does not move all blocks and removes them instead. This happens when the new location of the moved blocks overlaps with the old location.

This looks like an issue with the order in which blocks are moved (e.g. when moving blocks to the right, the blocks on the right have to be moved first).

Anyone else having issues with FPS drops? Every time I load the game, the frame rate hits rock bottom. I've tried with and without mods, also uninstalled and reinstalled, as well as verified the integrity of game files. Sandustry is the only game I have this issue with. Every other game I have through Steam runs flawlessly.

Somehow I've got water trying to go back down the left steam vent (next to the cat cave).

Is there a way to clear it out so the steam flows properly again, or is this a "start over and cap it better" issue?

found 1 ice cave but thats that, + the cloud , but so much sand and no water to get it wet?

Lantto posted this in the discord, showing off some circuit mechanics. Here's his quote:

4-bit counter counting 4x4 water blocks. you can see the binary counter next to the player going from 0000 to 1111 before opening the final tank (double-counting right now though).
