The Sack of Sand is a heavy sack filled with sand. It serves as a defence, a building material and a key ingredient for glass and pottery.
Three sacks stack into a Sandbag Wall, a sturdy barrier that stops gunfire. In crafting, sand goes into the Melt Sand recipe for molten glass, and into clay crucibles and other pottery at a Pottery Wheel. The Sand Floor build spills it onto a tile.
Full sacks are found in glassmaking workshops, backstage areas, studios, garages and garden stores. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
The Sandbag Wall build takes three Sack of Sand. The wall blocks bullets and can still be climbed over.
Glassmaking is the main craft use. Melt Sand takes one Sack of Sand, a Small Ceramic Crucible, two charcoal and a fire starter, with tongs or crude tongs kept. It runs at a Simple or better Furnace and gives a Small Ceramic Crucible with Molten Glass.
Pottery uses it at the Pottery Wheel. Sculpt Crucible makes a Large Clay Crucible (Unfired) from two Clay and one sack, at Pottery 1. Sculpt Small Ceramic Crucible makes a Small Clay Crucible (Unfired) from one Clay and one sack, also at Pottery 1. Sculpt Mortar And Pestle and Sculpt Clay Teacup take clay and a sack with no skill needed.
Mix Bucket of Clay Cement takes a bucket, ten units of water, two Clay and one sack. It gives a Bucket of Clay Cement or a Carved Bucket of Clay Cement.
Make Chum Base turns a sack into Chum. The Sand Floor build lays sand on a tile.
