POUND SAND

Every pixel simulated, including the machines. POUND SAND is a retro digging and factory sim where the dirt, the liquids, and the factory all run inside a falling sand simulation with no abstractions. What's on the conveyor belt is what's actually there. Dig into alien worlds, build factories from real blocks, and refine your haul into profit. Don't just assemble your factory, sculpt it. Starting with predefined patterns, use your tools to carve, reshape, and optimize machine layouts that are entirely your own. Welcome, contestant. The galaxy's most profitable game show is about to begin. Get digging. BUILD ADVANCED MACHINES Raw blocks don't make profits. Grind, burn, freeze, and combine them through six tiers of recipes where most products can be made more than one way. DIG FOR RESOURCES Blast the stone into blocks. Haul it up with launchers and conveyors. The good stuff is heaviest, so the richest dig is the deepest one. CLEAN YOUR MESSES Your tools emit gas that clogs machines. Vent it through your factory and convert it to water for advanced recipes. USE YOUR TOOLS Use the jetpack to get back to the surface fast. Grab blocks with the vacuum gun and feed them straight into machines, reaching the spots your conveyors can't. TEAR IT DOWN AND REBUILD Made a mess, contestant? Vacuum it, delete it, do it over. Tear the whole factory down and rebuild as often as you like with no penalty. MAKE A PLANET DISAPPEAR Empty an entire world, then move to the next. Dig each planet down to bedrock and haul away everything worth taking.
