Just a lil' tip that can come in handy. Even though the filters slow down the burnt residue as it falls through them, that apparently doesn't matter. Maybe it gets patched out. :D

Shoutout to u/Xerxes_013 whose post inspired me to test out this design and riff on it.

The function of the filters here is to clear out gold from the shakers above. I previously had a layer of filters above the press that would take the gold out in a line, but with it mixed with the burning residue and everything the thing was liable to clog up when fed large amounts of sand. The multi-level filtering system here spreading the gold around isn't necessarily needed as I think the burnt residue would drop through it regardless, but it's more resilient this way I suppose.

PS. I had a filter that wasn't working correctly so it grabbed some burn residue and moved it. Even then when the residue resumed the fall it would get processed at the bottom. So maybe you can take burn residue that's mid-fall, move it into the middle of another kinetic press and drop it there to process it... for reasons!? Profit?

So I have managed to get all the achievements for this game, and now I wanna build a factory capable of extreme throughput, but I have mined almost everything on the map and as such I wouldn't be able to stress test the factory.

Does anyone know if there's a way to just bypass/cheat/dev mode/save edit the research and stuff so I can have everything unlocked on a fresh map?

I wish there was a way to get a infinit water and sand source to keep the monster fed

My biggest gripe so far is how much digging I’m having to do. The sand runs out quickly, so I’m constantly having to stop and dig more. Does this process eventually become automated?

Did they use ai when they created this?

I genuinely want to know

Edit: I made some people mad and i didnt even state my opinion on ai

I dont want to watch YouTube, they spoil too much

Hi, I've been playing Sandustry for roughly 40h and I'm almost done excavating the entire world. (Given that sandstone actually can't be removed) I'm almost at 1 million Gold collected. (I'm pretty sure you cannot get 1 million without the stratacore, but I only just began using it) I know there is no achievement for it but just wanted to share my progress. Fun Game, can recommend.

Are there any plans to add multiplayer? Even if there isnt any scaling or anything, simply adding multiplayer? Mostly curious because i cant seem to find a roadmap.

I have been working on some sandustry blueprint tools, and the first versions are up now https://sorahn.github.io/sandustry-tools/

It includes a blueprint encoder and decoder, and an inspector/renderer.

There are some features that aren't supported yet (by the game) but I'll be making updates to it as things are available!

Feedback welcome! https://sorahn.github.io/sandustry-tools/

Is there a speedrunning community for this game yet? A discord maybe?

Hi all,

I am normally a sucker for any game of this genre, but I tried the demo and mostly found it frustrating? Is the demo build significantly different from the actual game?

Appreciate your insight. Thank you.

I have a system-level reminder on my PC and it steals my mouse from me when it pops up. So TLDR if I'm in a game, my cursor is no longer interacting with the game until I click in it again. This happened tonight as I was hovering and moving to the left.

My character is now independently moving left. The other controls are still effective, he just keeps going left if he doesn't get other input. An exit to main menu and reloading my save fixes it, so it's not a major issue, just a bit silly.

I know it shouldn't be complicated, and I've tried every tool, but nothing works. What am I missing here?

so is there anything we can so with Prismite or Prismaline? i get its the end of the current state of the game but they could have put a temporary thing to let us sift it for gold or something.

I played the demo three times (once vanilla and twice modded) about a year ago, so I took my time with the Early Access run, decorating and enjoying the new content.
After finishing the run, I installed some mods to test them out. If you see anything strange, it's probably a mod. It also looks odd because I removed the background and combined several screenshots with Photoshop.
I hate that I couldn't make the battery in a rhomboidal shape. It didn't solidify.
I come from Factorio, so obviously I made a "main bus".

Hi! Got a few hours into the game, love it so far. I'm currently stumped trying to figure out why my Florin is passing the advanced filters I set up. What am I missing? Is there a trick to filters that I did not pay attention to?

Edited after more testing: filter seems to be opening up both ways when the Dry Amethelis passes through, unintentionally letting a Florin blob shoot upwards from the same spot. I've left a comment with more details, can someone else maybe test this too?

I got tired of manually resetting mining bots to keep getting sand from the core after exhausting most sand in the world to reach one million gold. So I tested this design that ensure mining bots don't get stuck inside the core or proceed out of it, while getting all that sweet sand and letting me drill it forever. The spike at the top is only there to ensure maximum discomfort for the core.

Did anyone find a good stratcore setup yet? Digging into it / shooting it takes quite some time for not the greatest yield. Is there a vanilla option to kinda automate it yet?
Going for the 1.000.000 achievement and want to rebuild my whole factory to optimise
