Sandship: Crafting Factory

Sandship is a free-to-play adventure game where players design and build futuristic factories from the ground up. The goal is to create a highly automated production system by placing devices like synthesizers, chemical mixers, and ice guns in your sandship factory. The more devices you have, the more productive your factory will be. These devices can be connected with conveyor belts to craft a variety of materials, from simple copper wires to advanced technology powered by the mythic overwell. As you progress, you can upgrade your sandship and add bigger factories to produce even more complex items.

In Sandship, players can also trade the items they produce for credits, XP, and crates filled with ancient scientific research. This research can be used to unlock new abilities for your sandship, making it stronger, smarter, and more powerful. Your mentor in this journey is Harvey, a tenacious one-eyed cyborg who needs your help to reconnect with his past. He will guide you through the process of sandship engineering as you build and maintain more complex factories on a desert journey.

The planet you explore is inhabited by a variety of robots and aliens, some friendly and amazed by your sandship, while others are hostile and want to see it destroyed. Through completing quests, players can meet new characters, uncover ancient civilizations, and learn about the downfall of this once industrious world.

There are many features to discover on-board your sandship, including solving factory floor puzzles and creating your own to share with other players. The sandbox mode allows players to experiment with different setups without using any resources. Players can also build an underwell to mine precious resources, but must be prepared to defend against hordes of extraterrestrial enemies. The game is constantly expanding with new features and places to explore.

Some of the key features of Sandship include its free-to-play model, the ability to design and automate a futuristic assembly line, and the option to produce a wide range of items, from simple to otherworldly technology. Players can also trade their items for credits, XP, and crates containing ancient knowledge, upgrade their sandship's size, and develop holographic blueprints to get creative with their setups. The game also offers an immersive world to explore, complete with quests, unique characters, and lost civilizations to uncover. Players must also defend their sandship against extraterrestrial enemies while discovering new features and places as the universe expands.
