Project Mission

Sandustry Guide was created to provide automation engineers with transparent, reliable calculation tools and diagnostic guides for Sandustry.

Our flagship utility, the Material Balance Planner, empowers players to test factory loops, prevent byproduct deadlocks, and calculate water/steam equilibrium using strict mathematical conservation principles.

Engineering Principles

  1. User-Input Verifiable Data: Rather than locking players into pre-baked recipe assumptions that expire across game patches, we put players in control of their exact observed machine rates.
  2. Formula Transparency: Calculations never output black-box numbers. Every intermediate sum, unit conversion, and substituted equation is visible.
  3. Privacy by Design: All calculations execute locally inside your web browser. No scenarios, custom names, or production rates are transmitted to any server.
