Sand is used in the production of glass at a glass furnace. Dwarves use bags to collect sand from activity zones that have sand collection enabled. There is no way to manufacture sand, and it cannot be imported.v0.27.169.33a. To get bags of sand for your fortress, queue up a Leather Bag task at a Leather Works. While that bag is being made, press i at the main menu to bring up the activity zone designation screen. Find some sand on your map and draw the zone over it. Once this zone is constructed make sure to turn it into a sand collection zone. Next, construct a Glass Furnace. You cannot do the collect sand task without a Glass Furnace to activate the task at. Once the building is constructed and your bag is finished, queue up a task and you should be set. Sand bags are stored in furniture stockpiles; when creating custom stockpiles, the option to include or exclude sand-filled bags can be found in the lower right corner of the Furniture submenu.
