Sandustry Buildings List: Logistics, Production, Fluids, Energy, and Logic

Complete Sandustry building coverage organized by logistics, production, fluids, thermal, energy, logic, and special systems.

Short answer

Choose buildings by function, not by tier alone: transport, transform, contain, sense, or power. The full launch-day category set is indexed below.

Build a system, not a pile of machines

Every production module needs an input path, transformation space, two or more output paths, overflow, and maintenance access. A building is only useful when the surrounding geometry respects the material's state.

High-impact early buildings

  • Shaker: first Gold processing
  • Conveyor Belt: solid movement and liquid barrier
  • Launcher: vertical movement
  • Filter: configured pixel sorting
  • Pipe / Pump / Liquid Vent: dedicated liquid logistics

Frequently asked questions

Which Sandustry building should I unlock first?

The Shaker is foundational for Gold. Logistics is the usual next step because Conveyor Belts and Launchers reduce manual handling.
