Sandustry Research Planner: Plan Your Next Technology Unlocks
Not sure which technology to unlock next? Choose a research goal, mark the technologies you already have and enter your available Gold. The planner helps you review the route and cost required to reach the machines and systems you want to unlock.
Research goals
Choose technologies and calculate a route.
Plan from your current progress
Start with the technology you want to reach. Mark completed research and enter your current Gold so the route reflects your save rather than assuming you are starting from the beginning.
Compare unlock goals
Use the goal list to plan toward Fluids, Steam Turbine, Grinder, Reaction Chamber, Filters, Signal Devices or Logic Gates. Compare the Gold and research steps for each route.
Frequently asked questions
Does the planner calculate Gold costs?
It uses the listed research costs and your selected progress to plan the route.
