Sand
High quality sand is a sought after resource used for making glass and concrete. Though desert sand is abundant, it is not suitable for these materials.
Notes
Sand is a crafted resource produced through the Sand Concentrate recipe line, rather than being dug directly from the ground โ desert sand is explicitly unsuitable for use. It serves as a key ingredient in glassmaking and concrete production, appearing in recipes such as Glass, Reinforced Concrete, and Asphalt Concrete. When placed as a block, it is solid and diggable but slows movement with a ×0.8 efficiency.
