Early Access Launch Overview

Sandustry is an underground factory simulation and automation title developed by Lantto Games and published by Hooded Horse. The game entered Steam Early Access on August 13, 2026.

During the Early Access lifecycle, game balance, machine energy consumption, byproduct ratios, and logistical mechanics receive rapid updates and refinements.

Verification Steps

  1. Check your Steam client library to record the exact build or patch shown on your installation; the public sources reviewed here do not expose an independently verifiable current patch number.
  2. Verify official operating system requirements across Windows, macOS, and Linux on the Steam store page.
  3. Review official developer patch logs for any recent modifications to machine cycle durations or material inputs.
  4. Test your local factory rates in the Material Balance Planner to ensure your production ratios align with the current game version.

Version Tracking Policy

Because Sandustry is actively evolving:

  1. No Static Recipe Tables: We intentionally do not host rigid static recipe tables that risk becoming obsolete with the next patch.
  2. Player-Supplied Rates: All calculations in our Material Balance Planner utilize the exact values observed in your running game client.
  3. Patch Baseline: Exact current patch number is not independently verified from the public official pages reviewed on 2026-08-20. Record the version shown by your own client with every scenario.
