Sand in the Site Finder
« on: July 28, 2011, 03:18:33 pm »
Has anyone else found a nice volcano or something, brought along a glassmaker or two and some sandbags...only to discover a lack of sand at the embark?

Why is clay in the site finder and not sand? It should be easier to find sand than clay, since sand has one token and clay has...well, one token also, but with multiple arguments. Point is, it's aggravating to be unable to find a single grain of sand when I can easily locate clay.


Thoughts?

Yes, please.

Of course you can embark before to check for sand, buts that a half-cheating one.

And a bit irritating, unless you Embark Now! and force-quit DF or something.
