Probably something that could be easily modded into the game, but it would be cool if it were an actual feature to be able to use a mill to create sand from stone.

[Draco18s]

I still object because you'd have to use the right kind of stone.  Milling peridotite shouldn't yeild glass-sand.

I believe if bags of sand can be imported, given the size of each bag (a large amount of it would be able to be requested), then the need to create a sand mill and all the improbabilities along with it will become unnecessary.

You can specify stone type in reactions, iirc, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Then, so long as either you, or a trading civ have access to the right rock to import, you'd be golden.

I'm going with Draco here, though there should be an easier way to get sand/glass than there currently is.

I'm going with the "only certain types of works."

Sandstone, perhaps.

[Millable - Sand]?

Even better though

[Millable - Diamond Dust]

for the circular saw.

Any modders know what makes things millable?  Is it a moddable reaction?

A wee bit of a cheat this is, but my way of making sure I get sand: I removed all non-sand soils, and modded in various colored sands.  I love getting green on yellow, red on blue, red on green, black on green...  No fortress has any soil but sand.

You could also simply add in the [SAND] tag for every soil type.

Two Non-Chemistry defying methods of procuring Sand:
-Sending Dwarves to the beach
-Trading for sand

Note: I am not sure sand was ever traded in reality at medieval times... So I guess Sand should only appear if you requested it

[Inquisitor Saturn]

I think the ability to grind up quartzite would be good.

[Joseph Miles]

Well, according to another thread I saw fire on grass makes black sand(haven't tried it myself, so don't blame me if it doesn't work) so that may solve any sand problems once the lightning and fire arcs are finished.
