Sandustry Wiki

The best Sandustry wikis right now are sandustry.wiki and sandustry.org, with the official wiki on wiki.hoodedhorse.com as the authoritative but hard-to-read fallback. A search for "sandustry wiki" in August 2026 puts four wiki sites in the top ten results — three independent wikis plus the official one — and no major outlet (IGN, PC Gamer, or Fandom) has claimed the topic yet. Between them, these sources cover the early game well, but they share the same blind spots, starting with the aura endgame. This page tells you which source to reach for, what each is best at, and what you will still have to figure out yourself — a snapshot from August 2026.

The sources at a glance

These are the places players actually find Sandustry information, in roughly the order they show up in search results:

• wiki.hoodedhorse.com — the official wiki, hosted by Sandustry's publisher, Hooded Horse.
• sandustry.wiki — the largest independent wiki: 60+ pages across four languages.
• sandustry.org — a mid-sized independent wiki with the widest category spread (49 articles by its own count).
• sandustry-wiki.wiki — a smaller independent wiki with 20+ pages that stops at launch day.
• store.steampowered.com/app/2764460 and lanttogames.itch.io/sandustry — the official Steam store page and the itch.io demo/download page.
• sandustry.com — the official game site, tagged "a factory game with sand physics."

Two domains people guess at don't work: sandustry.wiki.gg returns HTTP 410 (the wiki is not there), and sandustrywiki.wiki fails to connect. All three independent wikis carry a "not affiliated with Lantto Games or Hooded Horse" disclaimer. If you only bookmark one of these, make it sandustry.wiki; if you want a second opinion or a machine-specific page, sandustry.org is the strongest complement.

The official wiki and official sources

The official wiki on wiki.hoodedhorse.com is the authoritative home for Sandustry's official terminology, and search results showed it updated within roughly the last day as of August 2026. Its contents are hard to inspect: the site sits behind a Cloudflare challenge that blocks automated readers, so the page count and depth are unknown. As a secondary hint, sandustry-wiki.wiki claims its own taxonomy covers every category the official Wiki lists — Materials, Buildings, Tools, Research, and Drones & creatures — which suggests the official wiki is organized the same way.

For facts that don't need a wiki, the Steam store page (app 2764460) confirms Sandustry launched into Early Access on August 13, 2026 as a single-player simulation/strategy game, with Steam Workshop, Cloud saves, Trading Cards, and Achievements. The publisher description is emphatic about modding: visual tweaks, hand-crafted maps, and entirely new buildings and processes are all named as supported, with "dedicated modding tools" promised. The free demo also lives on itch.io under the developer account.

sandustry.wiki — the deepest coverage

If you want one general-purpose reference, sandustry.wiki is it. With roughly 60+ pages in English, German, French, and Spanish, it is the largest independent wiki and the only one that keeps pace with the game's patches. Its 16 guides cover getting started, early game tips, gold, water management, automation basics, artifacts, fluxite, and factory tiers, and its 11 building pages include a Flux Emanator page that runs about 2,461 words with images and a table of contents.

It is also the only source that tracks Early Access patch notes. Its Updates section documents versions 0.5.3 and 0.5.4 plus the launch, and pages carry "(Aug 2026)" dates, so the content is current rather than frozen — this is the living wiki, the others are snapshots.

sandustry.org — the best category spread

sandustry.org counts 49 articles and splits them into more categories than anyone else: 10 guides, 5 artifacts (including Ancient Vaults and bosses), 8 automation pages (builds, blueprints, production chains, recipes), 9 machines (Kinetic Press, Flux Emanator, Steam Turbine, Vacuum, and more), 11 resources, and 3 map pages. It is the go-to for machines and map topics — no other site has dedicated pages for the Kinetic Press or a Map section with Biomes and Build Map.

A sampled machine page ran about 1,384 words with no images and carries "Published / Last reviewed / EA verified" badges — a sampled page was published August 15 and reviewed August 17, 2026. That puts it in a useful middle ground: deeper than sandustry-wiki.wiki, lighter than sandustry.wiki.

sandustry-wiki.wiki — shallow but quick

sandustry-wiki.wiki is the fast read. It has about 20+ pages, and a sampled beginner guide ran just 601 words with no images. It covers the essentials — beginner, crackstone, wet sand & gold, shaker setup, research tree, filter — plus lists for materials, buildings, tools, research, and drones & creatures. Every page follows a programmatic "Level 2 hub" layout with an FAQ and a Sources block, which makes scanning fast.

The tradeoff is freshness. The whole site is stamped "Verified August 13, 2026," so it is effectively a launch-day snapshot that misses every Early Access patch since. It is the only site with a dedicated crackstone / rocket launcher page, but that page is thin — and so is most of what lives here.

Coverage gaps nobody fills

The headline gap is the aura endgame: no wiki covers it, and the same goes for copper and cheats. The early game — filter, slag, and the Shaker loop — is well covered everywhere; anything past the mid game is a dice roll.

• Aura — no page on any of the three independent wikis.
• Copper — no page on any of the three independent wikis.
• Cheats — no wiki pages, even though cheat-style mods exist in the Steam Workshop (an "Infinite Fluxite (Cheat)" mod and similar).
• Wet spore / Wet Seed — only indirect mentions, via Spores & Seeds (sandustry.wiki) and Plants & Seeds (sandustry.org).
• Infinite water — covered only indirectly inside water pages; the best demo-era tutorial is a YouTube video.
• Workshop mod lists — none of the three wikis actually lists specific Workshop mods. sandustry.org has a mods category (3 articles, including a demo-mods archive) and sandustry.wiki covers Fluxloader installation, but concrete mod lists remain the biggest structural opening.

For video help, two YouTube videos stand out: a 17-minute Early Access "Hints and Tips" video (Takovacs) and a 30-minute free-demo beginner's guide (TrimBarktree) with tens of thousands of views.
