Sand

Sand is a basic resource that can be gathered from sand tiles in desert and ocean biomes, or produced by processing Sandrock at Masonry. It is also widely available through trade, and many city-states will sell it from the early game.

Its only use is for making Glass, so Sand is not something you usually need to stockpile in large amounts unless you are preparing for midgame production. Because processing Sandrock into Sand at Masonry takes a considerable amount of labor, importing it is often the more efficient option when trade is available.

• Can be obtained from sand tiles in desert and ocean biomes.
• Can be produced from Sandrock at Masonry.
• Commonly sold by city-states, including very early in the game.
