We have the charcoal kiln that’s great for when coal deposits are low. I’d like to have stone crushers that would convert stone to sand for whan sand deposits are scarce. Since antiquity there have been stone crushers, typically a vertical stone wheel mounted on an axle with the other end attached to a central pivot. It was pulled around in a circle by horses.

Uhhh, the sand we use for the silicates for glassmaking doesn’t just come from random stone
Also, this tech would be like 18th century?
All true. I was just imagining a way the player can make up for missing resources and I came up with this idea for sand. The thing is, a map with no sand is pretty much unplayable beyond tier 2 because no glassware can be produced.

Or buy glass.
Or don’t use glass. Sand is scarce on map with fertile land, you won’t need preservist there
Well, you do otherwise a lot of that food could go to waste because you’re not preserving it.
If a map has no sand I wouldn’t play it. I’ll reroll for a different one. The trader is a very inreliable source for any specific item and it’s not worth the struggle. Just how I feel.
Do you reroll for herbs, willow, etc, when they’re not on your maps?
No need to reroll for those, herbs and willows can be made in upgraded forager shacks.
Only if your map seed supports them. If not, then you can’t grow them.
Didn’t know that. I guess I’ve been lucky because I’ve never seen a map with zero herbs or willows. Sometimes there’s very little but so far always have some.
