Sandustry Augments Guide: Socketable Augment, Upgrades & Where to Use Them
Quick answer
Augments are world-found upgrades for tools, weapons, and movement. Start by understanding Socketable Augment and only split individual augment pages once search demand grows.
Quick answer
Sandustry Augments are upgrade rewards found through exploration and puzzles. They improve utility items, weapons, or player movement, and the Socketable Augment matters because players search for how augment swapping works.
Do not confuse Augments with Research. Research unlocks buildings and tools through currencies such as Gold, Energy, and Auralite; Augments are discovered upgrade-style rewards.
Current augment tracking
| Augment intent | What to check |
|---|---|
| Socketable Augment | Whether it enables or changes augment swapping in the current build |
| Sprint / Jump / mobility boosts | Where the station or reward appears and what it changes |
| Weapon augments | Which tool receives the effect and whether it changes material interactions |
| Puzzle rewards | Whether a blocked puzzle needs a later tool or return trip |
| Fluxite upgrades | Whether the upgrade is actually purchased with Fluxite instead of found as an augment |
This hub is intentionally compact. It keeps the Socketable Augment query covered without publishing a thin one-augment page before GSC proves sustained demand.
How to use this page
- Check whether the upgrade is Research, Fluxite upgrade, or Augment.
- Record the biome, puzzle room, or artifact area where you found it.
- Verify which tool or player ability changed.
- Recheck after updates, because Early Access can change wording and unlock behavior.
