Patch History
Each entry lists the fix, what it means for a live save, and whether the change is marked as final or a workaround.
100K sales and the SandTogether co-op mod
Hooded Horse announced more than 100,000 copies sold in week one, with an Overwhelmingly Positive rating. A community co-op mod, SandTogether, arrived on the Steam Workshop at the same time.
Crash evidence and display fixes
More diagnostic logging, animated images replacing instruction videos to avoid GPU and capture-hook crashes, Alt+Enter fullscreen, and a temporary macOS right-click workaround.
Tier 5 repair and filter editing
Filter editing on the last placed filter, automatic repair for affected Tier 5 saves, and red-block removal in batches of 256 tiles or fewer while a deeper fix is pending.
Stability hotfix
Added crash logs, addressed steam-rain memory use, clarified factory-tier objectives, and added a GPU overlay launch option.
Early Access launch
Sandustry opened on Steam, GOG, the Microsoft Store, and PC Game Pass, with a free demo and a launch discount.
