DF2014 Talk:Sand

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Someone will want to confirm, but I mined an outcrop on top of my mountain and the ramps up turned into usable sand. Would be useful to know that you can do this. Please confirm. unsigned comment by 199.116.115.130

My guess is that the layer you mined out was a sand layer. —Lethosor (talk) 02:11, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

How much sand per bag?[edit]

Does the page actually say how much sand is contained in each bag?

> individual bags of sand may be purchased during embark for 1 point apiece (with a free bag included), and caravans will frequently bring several bags of sand with them each year (plus more if requested from the liaison). Additionally, while it is rare, some caverns may contain sand in small amounts.

So, 1 sand = 1 free bag. And caravans contain **full** bags? (I assume) Bag also doesn't contain any specific numbers, though does mention a "container capacity". - AnnanFay (talk) 07:09, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

My understanding is that a bag is the smallest unit of sand you can obtain, and this glass industry section seems to confirm that. —Lethosor (talk) 02:11, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
