Sand is a natural resource obtained through mining. It can be dumped within a dumping designation as waste or in strategic areas to create landfill or ramps. It is particularly useful for producing Concrete Slabs, Glass, Filter Media, and in late-game for the processing of Copper Ore Crushed.

Prior to Beta 0.3.11 (2022-01-23), the only method of obtaining Sand was directly mining it on the island, with no external sources such as outposts or trading. Thus, Sand was often the limiting factor in how much Glass a colony could produce and ultimately a limiting factor progression. With this patch, a recipe was added to create Sand from Rock by processing it in a Crusher to create Gravel, then crushing it again once more into Sand. This change greatly increases the amount of Sand which is available on a given island.

Island reserves

Main article: Home Island

Each Home Island contains varying amounts of natural resources. The amount of resources mined by Excavators is modified by the resources size modifier on the Map Selection screen while the amount which can be extracted per tile is further affected by the ore mining yield modifier on the Game Difficulty screen. On the other hand, the amount of Crude Oil and Water is modified by Extra Starting Material modifier on the Game Difficulty screen. Any modifier cannot be changed once the island has been founded.

It should be noted that most of the above natural resources are non-renewable. But there are alternative ways to get unlimited resources.
