Sandustry is a mining and automation game with sand physics. Explore a destructible world, digging and demolishing. Build a sand-processing factory and expand your logistics network. Delve deeper into the mines, unlock new technologies, and discover an ancient civilization's secrets.

those recommended specs don't stand a damn chance at running anything beyond a small factory, i'm about 8 hours into my current...
