Sandustry Production Chain Planner

Pick what you want to produce and how fast. The planner walks the chain backwards to tell you the upstream raw inputs, intermediate products, and building counts you'll need.

How the Planner Works

Ratios marked ✓ wiki come from the official Sandustry wiki (e.g. Wet Sand → Gold is ~25% drop rate). Others are derived from observed gameplay cycles-per-minute estimates — treat building counts as ballpark planning figures, not exact recipes. Sandustry's simulation runs continuously, so real throughput depends on your layout, conveyor speeds, and pixel density at each stage.

Pair this with the Density Calculator to also figure out where each material will settle in your collection pools.
