Devices Tycoon Sandbox: Unlimited Money and Features

What Does Devices Tycoon Sandbox Let You Do?

Devices Tycoon sandbox lets you experiment with a tech company using unlimited money and controls for research, employee happiness, fans, and followers. Those options give you room to focus on device design and explore business systems without financial limits. On the Steam PC version, Devices Tycoon sandbox has been available from the start since Update 1.1.

The mode’s controls arrived across several updates. Unlimited money came in the first post-launch update, while later patches added more ways to customize your company. Update 1.3 added control over your Devicesgram follower count, expanding the options beyond company fans.

Here’s how the sandbox features fit together:

Sandbox feature	What it provides	Update introduced
Unlimited money	Experimentation without financial limits	First post-launch update
Availability from the start	Access to Sandbox Mode from the beginning	Update 1.1
Company fan editing	Control over your company’s fan count	Update 1.1
“Employees Are Always Happy” toggle	A setting for keeping employees happy	Update 1.2
“Research All” buttons	A research control in each research category	Update 1.2
Devicesgram follower customization	Control over your Devicesgram follower count	Update 1.3

Choose a purpose for your company before changing everything. Design a flagship phone, explore operating systems, or build a recognizable family of products. A clear project gives each sandbox control a reason to be there.

Keep your company fans and Devicesgram followers separate in your planning. They are distinct editable counts, introduced in different updates. Set each deliberately when creating the company you want to play.

Use Unlimited Money and Research Controls Deliberately

Unlimited money is the foundation of Devices Tycoon sandbox. It removes the financial limit on experimentation, letting you explore device designs and company purchases without making available cash the deciding factor.

Start with a device concept rather than selecting features at random. Decide whether you want a compact smartphone, a distinctive laptop, or a coordinated collection of accessories. Then use the editor’s choices to give that concept a consistent identity.

Give each design a specific goal

The device editor includes choices for dimensions, colors, screens, processors, graphics cards, speakers, packaging, and more. Across its customization tools, the game offers more than 10,000 functions.

Use that breadth to explore a particular question. Compare different screen choices, revisit a device’s appearance, or change its packaging while preserving the rest of the concept. Keep notes on what you changed so the next model has a clear purpose.

Avoid using unlimited money as your only measure of success. Follow customer reviews and sales after a device reaches stores. Higher review scores improve sales, so the response to a product still gives you something useful to examine.

Use the research controls by category

Update 1.2 added a “Research All” button to each research category in Sandbox Mode. That gives research its own set of controls alongside the mode’s financial options.

Control or tool	Function	Practical use
Unlimited money	Removes financial limits	Explore designs without restricting the project to available funds
“Research All”	Provides a research action in each category	Use the relevant category when exploring its technologies
“Collect Research Points”	Collects points directly from the game menu	Collect points without visiting the laboratory
Time acceleration	Speeds up game time	Advance time when you are ready to continue observing the business

The “Collect Research Points” menu button also arrived in Update 1.2. It is a separate convenience from the sandbox research buttons: one collects points through the game menu, while the others sit in research categories.

Review the category you want to explore before using its button. Keep the research choices connected to your current project, especially when learning how the device editor’s options fit together.

Customize Fans, Followers, and Employee Happiness

Devices Tycoon sandbox also gives you control over the company surrounding your products. Company fans, Devicesgram followers, and employee happiness each have their own sandbox setting.

Use these controls to establish a company scenario. For example, give a fictional established brand the audience you want it to have, then design products that match its identity. Treat that as a creative setup rather than a prediction about how audience size affects sales.

Company control	Where it fits	Detail to remember
Company fan editing	Company audience customization	Added in Update 1.1
Devicesgram follower customization	Social network audience customization	Added in Update 1.3
“Employees Are Always Happy”	Employee happiness management	Added in Update 1.2

Set up your company’s identity

At company creation, you choose a name, country, and starting capital. Continue that identity through your products: repeat colors, use related device names, and give packaging a consistent appearance.

If the name stops fitting, change it through Statistics → Company. Company renaming arrived in the first post-launch update, so your original name does not have to define every later project.

Use a naming pattern you can recognize when comparing models. Distinguish revisions clearly in your own notes, especially when several devices share a similar appearance.

Choose how to handle employee happiness

The “Employees Are Always Happy” toggle gives sandbox players a direct happiness setting. Enable it when you want to concentrate on device creation while keeping employees happy.

Employee bonuses provide another management action. The first post-launch update added a way to give everyone a bonus from a fatigue notification. Update 1.3 added a button for bonuses to all employees directly in the office scene’s sidebar.

Hire designers, programmers, and engineers as you explore company management. The game also includes more than 16 offices to buy and upgrade for those teams. Connect office purchases to the company you are building, just as you would connect a device’s appearance to its brand.

Build Devices and Compare Your Designs

Devices Tycoon sandbox gives you a setting for exploring the game’s broad product creation tools. You can create smartphones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches, headphones, TVs, operating systems, and processors.

Pick one product category to learn before spreading your attention across several editors. Build a recognizable model, examine the available choices, and use that model as the starting point for related designs.

Reuse settings to keep comparisons organized

Update 1.1 added the ability to copy settings from earlier device models. Use that feature when creating a revision so you can preserve the parts of a design you want to keep.

The same update stopped settings from resetting when switching between Budget, Standard, and Flagship. Review those categories while developing a product family, keeping track of the changes you deliberately make.

Try these design exercises:

• Create a visual identity. Coordinate device colors, dimensions, and packaging around a recognizable style.
• Develop a model revision. Copy an earlier device’s settings, then change a specific part of the design.
• Explore a product family. Carry a shared appearance across a smartphone, tablet, and laptop.
• Expand into software. Create an operating system alongside your hardware projects.

These are creative goals you can set for yourself. Keep the scope small enough that you can remember why you made each choice.

Read the business response

Once products appear on store shelves, customer reviews become part of the feedback loop. Higher scores lead to better sales, connecting your device work to the company’s performance.

Review the response before starting the next revision. Compare it with your design notes, then choose what to revisit. Change a limited set of choices between models to keep your own comparisons readable.

Use the wider business tools as your project grows. You can hold presentations before sales begin, study marketing, open stores around the world, negotiate, and purchase other companies.

Match each expansion to a concrete goal. Open stores as part of building your company’s presence, or explore acquisitions when you want to engage with that side of management. Unlimited funds give you freedom to pursue those projects.

Keep Track of Updates, Finances, and Saves

The Steam updates changed both Devices Tycoon sandbox and the everyday tools around it. Understanding those changes helps returning players find features that were absent from an earlier version.

Update	Sandbox additions	Other relevant changes
First post-launch update	Unlimited money	Autosave every 90 in-game days; company renaming; bonuses from fatigue notifications
Update 1.1	Available from the start; editable company fans	Model setting copying; preserved settings between device categories; time acceleration
Update 1.2	Happiness toggle; “Research All” in each category	Menu button for collecting research points; expanded income and expense statistics
Update 1.3	Editable Devicesgram follower count	More financial detail; Devicesgram comment replies; office sidebar bonus button

Use the detailed company statistics even with unlimited money. Updates 1.2 and 1.3 expanded the information about income and expenses, giving you more to examine than the cash balance alone.

Look at those figures alongside product reviews and sales. Keep your attention on the results relevant to your project: a device revision, a marketing exercise, or an expansion into stores.

Save at meaningful checkpoints

Autosave runs every 90 in-game days, a feature introduced in the first post-launch update. Steam also supports saving at any time and Steam Cloud.

Save when you finish a design or complete a useful comparison. When using time acceleration, remember that the autosave interval is measured in game days.

Update 1.1 added save error codes and fixed problems involving device text after saving or loading. Later updates also addressed operating system design resets. Keep the Steam version updated as you continue a long-running company.

Keep each experiment focused

Before the next project, write down the device you want to create and the changes you want to explore. Set the relevant sandbox controls, reuse an earlier model where useful, and follow the product’s reviews and sales.

For the PC release, you can get Devices Tycoon on Steam.
