HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (322 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • I can't tell, and these timers have a way of getting more expensive the longer you play, and the devs end up in a loop where they add more of the same just to keep the ruse going on longer. 1★, Sep 3, 2026
  • We can't leave this game alone it needs more support 5★, Apr 17, 2026
  • I would add some more depth to the multiplayer aspect, as that is very lacking (maybe like a VS mode where players compete in the underwell pit to see who survives the longest with a fixed amount of time for… 4★, Mar 16, 2026
  • Add more features after level 20. 4★, Mar 16, 2026

★★★★★ It is absolutely addicting I only got of to write this review.
★★★★★ Tutorial is non-existent but it's kinda fun.
★★★★★ This game is a chill and relaxing game about a factory and it has no ads unless you try to get rewards and stuff like that
Easy to use5%

23 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I've been playing this game for three years and I love it I always play it because it allows for simple factory building but has the actual mechanics and things you might need to do in real life like heating things
★★★★★ I chose it because I was looking for a good easy game and this popped up on google AI mode, so I tried it out.
★★★★★ This is the best long term game with simple puzzle factory game

Worth the money1%

5 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I play satisfactory on my pc And jumped at the opportunity to have automation anywhere. I am very suprised that there are virtually no ads. Highly recommend
★★★★★ I don't think there is to much wrong with the game I just there should be a free play mode like the robot is NOT telling you what to do I just think it would make the game a little better and to go to that free play…
★★★★★ I am pleasantly surprised by how simple yet complex this little factory title is, it's like a free factory game for the Mobile device, I can't guarantee everyone will love it as much as I do, but I see a lot of charm…
Accurate, great results1%

This game is awesome

★★★★★Sep 3, 2026
I won’t play because monetization strategy

I have no problem playing full price for a game, but I will never be roped into a game that has wait timers I can pay money to skip. If there is 20 hours of playtime, how does that translate to the cost of the game? I can’t tell, and these timers have a way of getting more expensive the longer you play, and the devs end up in a loop where they add more of the same just to keep the ruse going on longer.

★★★★★Sep 2, 2026
It is great

I only just started playing and this game has me hooked line and sinker. I chose it because I was looking for a good easy game and this popped up on google AI mode, so I tried it out. It is absolutely addicting I only got of to write this review. I just don’t like the fact that there is such a short tutorial but other than that, it is GREAT

Store description

From the developers of Deep Town, Sandship is a factory management game set in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi universe. You control the last remaining sandship: a gigantic, artificially intelligent mega-factory, which roams across the endless deserts of a far-away planet. Noranti One was a highly advanced civilization. After an accident forced your sandship into hibernation, it awoke in a world of ruins. Join us on a journey to rediscover forgotten technologies, forge a better tomorrow through crafting and trade, and fight a vicious cult hellbent on your destruction. Unlock the secrets of this cryptic land onboard your incredible sandship. Design futuristic factories from the ground up in this free to play adventure. Place devices like synthesizers, chemical mixers, and ice guns in your sandship factory. The more devices you have, the greater your automated productivity. Connect those devices with conveyor belts to craft a wide variety of materials, from copper wires and combustion engines to ancient technology utilizing the mythic power of the overwell. Upgrade your sandship and add bigger factories to get the space you’ll need to produce more complex items. Trade the incredible stuff you make to earn credits, XP and get old crates filled with scientific research from the distant past. This ancient knowledge gives your sandship new abilities, becoming stronger, smarter, and more powerful than she’s been in a long, long time. Your engineering mentor is Harvey, a tenacious one-eyed cyborg who needs your help to reconnect with his past. Harvey will show you the ropes of sandship engineering as you build and maintain more complex factories on a desert journey. Are you ready to voyage through a mysterious alien desert with many obstacles in your path? The planet is inhabited by an unusual assortment of robots and aliens. Some are friendly and astounded by your sandship. Others are hostile and want to see your sandship destroyed, but you’re not sure why. Complete quests to meet new characters, uncover ancient civilizations, hear campfire stories and learn how this once industrious world crumbled in the distant past. There’s so much to discover on-board a sandship. Solve factory floor puzzles, then create your own to share with other players. Get creative in the sandbox to try out new setups without using any resources. Build an enigmatic underwell to mine precious resources, but be prepared to defend against hordes of extraterrestrial enemies to collect them. New features and places to explore are added continuously. The universe of Sandship is constantly expanding. FEATURES Engineered for Fun: Free to Play Design a futuristic assembly line for automated crafting Produce everything from simple items to otherworldly technology Place more devices to create increasingly complex materials Trade what you make for credits, XP, and crates containing ancient knowledge Upgrade your sandship’s size to mythic proportions Maximize your credits to buy buildings, devices, and decorations Develop holographic blueprints to get creative with your setups Solve factory floor puzzles and share your own Explore the World: Help Harvey, your cyborg engineering mentor, reconnect with his past Complete quests to earn rewards and assist the colorful inhabitants of Noranti One Adventure through a strange planet inhabited by aliens and robots Uncover lost civilizations and learn their secret histories Defend your sandship against hordes of extraterrestrial enemies
