Sandustry Early Access Changes
Keep shipped fixes, developer plans and community reports in separate lanes so a roadmap sentence never becomes a current mechanic.
Quick answer
What to do
Sandustry released into Early Access on August 13, 2026. Use official Steam news for shipped patches and the store’s Early Access section for plans. Recheck any mechanic page after an update that names its material, building, research cost or save behavior.
Current release status
The Steam store lists Lantto Games as developer, Hooded Horse as publisher and August 13, 2026 as the Early Access release date. The developers say the game is fully playable in its current advertised scope while further content and refinements are planned.
First post-release hotfix signal
The official Steam news feed published the v0.5.3 hotfix on August 14, 2026. Its notes focus on better logging, clearer objectives, memory improvements and a possible startup workaround for a crash path. These are support and stability changes; they do not by themselves change the material flows documented elsewhere on this site.
Three evidence lanes
Early Access goals
Future content remains a plan until an official release note ships it.
Community issue
A report can trigger testing, but it is not automatically a verified mechanic.
When a guide needs review
- A patch names a material, processor, tool or research cost used on the page.
- The in-game label no longer matches the official wiki term.
- A reproducible player report conflicts with the current claim.
- The source page changes and the approved evidence snapshot is older than the site policy allows.
Until reviewed, the affected answer should carry a visible warning rather than a silent guess.
