Short answer

Sandustry supports Steam Workshop and is described as built with modding in mind. Use Steam Workshop and official community channels, and avoid unverified third-party downloads.

Player checklist

  • You want to know whether Sandustry supports mods and Workshop content.
  • You need safe boundaries for custom maps, new buildings, and new processes.
  • You are deciding where future mod directory pages should live.

Avoid this

  • Mirroring downloads from unknown sources.
  • Treating a modded custom map as the default world.
  • Publishing a mod list without a refresh date.

Does it support mods?

Yes, Steam and official descriptions indicate Workshop and modding-tool support.

What mods can cover

Official copy mentions visual tweaks, hand-crafted maps, new buildings, and new processes.

Safety rule

Point users to Steam Workshop, official Discord, and trusted community channels. Do not mirror or recommend unknown downloads.

Outdated modloader notes

If referencing modloader instructions, mark them version-sensitive and check the latest official guidance.

Safe mod guidance

The first mods page should be a safety and orientation page: use Steam Workshop, read version notes, keep vanilla saves separate, and do not download from unknown mirrors.

Later, this page can become a living directory, but only if each mod entry has a source link, compatibility date, and clear label for gameplay-changing behavior.

Do / Don't

Do

  • Warn about outdated modloader notes.
  • Keep modded and vanilla pages separate.

Don't

  • Do not mirror downloads.
  • Do not recommend unknown sources.
  • Do not write mod lists without refreshing Workshop.
