The official Sandustry homepage links both products independently. Old Demo guides may describe mechanics, limits, folders, or mods that do not match the paid Early Access build.
What the Early Access game includes
Current launch coverage and Early Access review footage show the core game as a factory-automation sandbox in a fully destructible, pixel-simulated world. You mine materials, process them through increasingly complex production lines, unlock new tools and research, and explore for buried technology.
This page does not present every current feature as final. Early Access systems, balance, and progression may change as development continues.
How long will Early Access last?
Rock Paper Shotgun reported that the Steam plan was around one year, depending on development progress, and that the price might increase later. Those statements describe a plan and possibility, not a guaranteed schedule or price change.
For the confirmed launch date and unknown 1.0 date, see the release date guide.
Check live price and system details
The Steam storefront itself was not consistently accessible during material collection, so this guide does not freeze its live review count, regional price, discount, inventory status, or full system requirements.

- read the current Early Access notice;
- check the live price in your region;
- verify the current operating-system and hardware requirements;
- use App ID 3490390 if you want the separate Demo.
The dated multi-store snapshot is available in the Sandustry price guide.
