Shaker / Refining
Steam’s early fantasy starts here: sift value from sand and refine wet sand toward gold before the factory gets complex.
Home/sandustry buildings
Sandustry Buildings
High-level roles from Steam store copy and official channels — shakers/refining, conveyors and launchers, filters, fluids, and deeper tech. Exact unlock order and stats stay on the official wiki during Early Access.
Conveyors & Launchers
Horizontal belts and vertical launchers replace shovel labor. Automate the path you walk most before you dig a megabase.
Filters
Sorting is survival. Separate sand, slag, and ore before merges so one junk material cannot freeze the whole line.
Fluids & Pipes
Water and heat interact with pixel materials. Learn one clean pump/pipe path early — floods bury pretty belt work.
Drones & Deep Tech
Steam’s EA roadmap points to deeper buildings, resources, chains, quests, and technologies. Confirm unlock timing per patch.
