Official Steam store screenshot showing v0.2.6; historical visual context only, not the current interface. The image shows factory context only; it does not identify the material or prove a production ratio.

SIGNATURE LINE / STARTER LOOP

One visible chain before factory sprawl.

The line below is assembled from current Sand, Water, Wet Sand, Shaker, and Research references. Gold remains probabilistic.

  1. 01 / INPUTDirt → Sand

    Break Dirt to release the first solid input.

  2. 02 / REACTIONSand + Water

    One of each becomes two Wet Sand.

  3. 03 / PROCESSWet Sand

    Feed the mixture into a Shaker.

  4. 04 / OUTPUTResidue + Gold

    Residue is guaranteed; Gold is about a 25% chance.

  5. 05 / EXPANDResearch

    Use Gold for Shaker, Logistics, and later nodes.

REAL GAME CONTEXT / BOUNDED CLAIMS

See the game. Read the evidence separately.

Official images identify Sandustry and the visible interface only. Ratios, controls, costs, and progression come from the linked text sources—not from interpreting pixels in a screenshot.
