Sandustry glossary

Sandustry glossary maps official Hooded Horse wiki names to the demo-era slang that still dominates videos. Use official names in your own notes if you want patch text to match. Use the alias when you are watching a 2025 demo guide. Official store copy, the Hooded Horse wiki roster, and Steam patch notes are the only sources for numbers on this page. Community names stay in the alias column.

Do not import farm words

Competing SEO sites invent a Sifting Station, Spore Washer, and infinite gold fans. Those are not official pages. If a term is not on the materials, buildings, or tools roster and not in Steam about text, treat it as unverified and keep it off this glossary.

Language notes

If you write guides in Japanese or Korean, keep the Steam compound title somewhere on the page. サンダストリー and 샌더스트리 are official pieces of the store name, not fan translations. Simplified Chinese 沙金工业 and Traditional 沙金工業 are official. Do not mix the two character sets on the same hreflang.

More detail worth keeping

When in doubt, click the official wiki name in our roster tables. The alias column is a translation layer for videos, not a second item. If two videos argue about Slag versus Residue they are arguing about spelling. If they argue about a Sifting Station they are arguing about a page that does not exist.

Practice that survives a patch

Write Residue in your blueprint titles even if you say Slag out loud. Six months from now a patch note will say Residue and your notes will still search. That is the only reason this glossary exists.

Close the loop

Print the official column. Say the community column. That bilingual habit is how you survive a year of demo videos and an official wiki that finally picked Residue.

Do not add your own third name. The last thing this game needs is another word for sand.

Frequently asked questions

Which name should I search?

Search Sandustry plus the official term first. Add the community alias if a demo video used it.

Is Firn official?

It appears in community material clusters next to Snow. Prefer Snow and Ice when writing slugs.
