The look of the deserts in this game kind of pains me.  Patches of different colored sand everywhere, seemingly with no rhyme or reason.

Is is possible to define that a certain type of sand can only exist in a certain environment, such as high vulcanism or alluvial deposits?  I know that you can add [IGNEOUS_EXTRUSIVE] to the sand and it will appear as a layer near volcanos, but is it possible to make it appear as a SOIL in that area, only?

Ideally I'd like to have this:

• SAND_TAN - Dry areas.  Has Aquifers
• SAND_RED - Igneous Intrusive areas, on top.  Has Aquifers
• SAND_BLACK - Igneous Extrusive areas, high vulcanism.  No Aquifers
• SAND_YELLOW -  Can exist anywhere.  No Aquifers
• SAND_WHITE - Alluvial deposits.  Near oceans and river beds only.  Has Aquifers

I know not all of this is possible, but the Alluvial white sands and the Igneous Black sand are pretty crucial in what I want to do.


Tell me, is the volcanic sand possible?


Nobody knows?  I tried setting [IGNEOUS_EXTRUSIVE] on the Black sand, but I think all that did was give me underground sand layers...
