This seems a bit confusing. Is it possible to collect sand without bags? Without a glass furnace? What do you set to get your dwarves to do it?--Xazak 17:56, 3 November 2007 (EDT)
You can't collect sand without empty bags or a glass furnace. The command to gather sand is issued from the furnace itself. At least, that's how it was back in the last version-I doubt they changed it, though. Kefkakrazy 18:37, 3 November 2007 (EDT)
- It hasn't changed. --Draco18s 19:41, 3 November 2007 (EDT)
Absence of sand and moods
Are you screwed if a dwarf enters a mood, requires raw green glass, and there is no sand on the map? Presumably in such a situation you'd want to specify glass blocks from the traders ASAP. I just had a dwarf go berserk for want of green glass ... although he was a lowly hauler, so whatevs! Julius 14:37, 13 November 2007 (EST)
- So far, in all my fortresses, my dwarves never asked for something they could not find on the map for their moods. In my current fortress, I have a lot of items made of rock, wood, bone and leather... --Eagle of Fire 20:16, 4 December 2007 (EST)
I have had a fort where there was no single sand at all...but after some years small squares of sand has appeard at places where my dwarf travels alot. Is it possblie that sand can be made? (Keilden 06:20, 21 January 2008 (EST))
- I believe this is caused by the dwarves killing off the vegitation covering the sand. I don't think you can create sand in areas where there is something else underneath, such as silty loam.--Kingzilla 19:03, 21 January 2008 (EST)
- It's easy to tell if a square has collectible sand or not. Simply designate a zone over a single square, and look to see if sand collection isn't a 0. --Edward 01:33, 22 January 2008 (EST)
Well those single squares have more then 0 in sand but they can't be collected.(Keilden 02:48, 22 January 2008 (EST))
Types of sand for glassmaking
Are red, black, white and yellow the only types of sand available for glass production? Schm0 20:13, 4 December 2007 (EST)
Yes, as they are the only types of sand. (Loamy sand or whatever isn't really sand) --Karlito 23:55, 4 December 2007 (EST)
