It is. Toady said he had wanted to make sand collapse, but if I remember correctly he decided to put it off for a little bit or something like that.

Too bad you can't start fires and make a glass fortress...

That sand fortress must be fun to start when the "sand" cave-in code are updated.

I've settled near a volcano with sand walls. That looks a little screwy.  ;)

I dig 1 tile bigger than I need when digging in sand and then re-wall the edges and build floors on the ground in the name of realism.  Hopefully my habits will pay off one day!

It would also be great if sandy/muddy terrain slowed dwarves down a tiny bit and paves roads/smoothed ground sped them up a bit.  Right now it seems roads and such are totally aesthetic?
