Sandship: Crafting Factory is a survival‑crafting mobile game where players operate a massive sand‑skimming ship in a post‑apocalyptic desert. Your mission: scavenge scrap, build machinery, automate production, and uncover hidden mysteries—all while navigating sandstorms, managing power, and fending off desert threats.
Sandship is a sci-fi factory management game set on a massive moving machine traveling through a post-apocalyptic desert. You act as the operator of this ancient sandship, rebuilding technology, producing goods, and automating systems to restore civilization.
It’s perfect for fans of Factorio or Satisfactory, but in a mobile-friendly format.
You start with simple machines to process basic materials, and gradually expand into complex production chains — turning raw resources into electronics, fabrics, weapons, and even AI. Everything is placed on a grid inside the sandship, and you must optimize layout, speed, and output.
There’s also a storyline involving mysterious AI, lost civilizations, and ancient tech. Alongside building, you’ll complete missions, unlock research, and expand your ship’s capabilities.
The game has a sleek, industrial look with clean UI and futuristic designs. Machines and conveyor belts animate smoothly, and the dusty desert setting gives it a unique identity. The soundtrack is calm and sci-fi inspired, with great sound effects during production.
