Summary0002549: Sand Collection Zones
DescriptionMy fort has the first two z-levels composed of "Loamy Sand". I'm not sure if this is a bug, but Loamy Sand can't be used as a sand collection zone. I set a swathe of Loamy Sand as a Sand Collection Zone, but it showed that there were 0 tiles available for Sand Collection. I went ahead and told my Glass Furnace to collect sand anyway, but the dwarves cancel the job because there are no suitable collection areas.
Steps To ReproduceDefine an area of Loamy Sand as a sand collection zone, try to collect sand.

Doubt this is a bug - the 'sandy' stuff isn't really sand, and as far as I remember has never been usable as sand - it has to be white, red, or black 'sand.' Can't remember if just 'sand' also works.

Indeed, only clean sand will do, color does not matter.

The posters above me are correct. The wiki explains this one well: http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:Sand [^]
