Sandustry Tools List: Excavation, Utility, and Construction
Complete Sandustry tools list covering excavation weapons, temperature tools, movement, collection, and construction editing.
Tools solve different world interactions: digging damage is not explosive damage, temperature tools change matter, and construction tools edit player-built systems. Match the tool to the obstacle.
Progression rule
If a wall does not react, do not assume it needs more hits. Crackstone, for example, explicitly requires explosive damage from the Rocket Launcher rather than the starter Shovel or Gun.
Utility before damage
The Vacuum, Grabber, Cryoblaster, Flamethrower, Marquee, and movement tools can remove factory bottlenecks that more excavation power will not solve.
