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?--[[User:Xazak|Xazak]] 17:56, 3 November 2007 (EDT) | This seems a bit confusing. Is it possible to collect sand without bags? Without a glass furnace?

: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... --[[User:Eagle of Fire|Eagle of Fire]] 20:16, 4 December 2007 (EST) | :So far, in all my fortresses, my dwarves never asked for something they could not find on the map for their moods.

:If you want to write a guide to sand, go ahead. It is a wiki, after all ;). I think it would be easier to rewrite the second paragraph though, making it clearer that stuff like sandy clay isn't actually sand. --[[User:LegacyCWAL|LegacyCWAL]] 17:20, 3 March 2009 (EST) | :If you want to write a guide to sand, go ahead.

::I updated it some, the second paragraph that is. I don't feel that "How to make bags" should really be there, but since the bag page doesn't have it yet, I left it. I think that this still needs work, but is much clearer. I would like to verify exactly which tiles you can draw sand from and which you can't, as well as how many dwarves can draw sand per furnace. Amusingly I've never had sand on a map I've played, which is why I asked in the first place. [[User:Inoko|Inoko]] 06:14, 4 March 2009 (EST) | ::I updated it some, the second paragraph that is.

:::::::Plants will die on their own, too. I'm pretty sure a soil tile is exposed after a dead plant rots away, with the game choosing the type of soil based on biome. If it is near a cave river, this biome seems to be sand. I have a fort right now with tree farms both near the cave river and not. The ones near the river have sand, the one not near the river has silt. There's no mixing and both were made on stone floors; the type of stone doesn't seem to matter either. --[[User:Nillions|nil]] | :::::::Plants will die on their own, too.
