- Sand is now found near water. Sand regenerates immediately (like water).
- Sand can be used in a furnace to make glass.
- Glass + copper wires + 3D printer can be used to make solar panels.
- Note that with Start base with finite supply of basic robot parts #361 I intend to start the base with a small number of 3D printers, so other robots could carry this out. But also, the base will start with a bunch of solar panels too.
- Solar panel + counter can be used to make a calculator.

Once people are happy with this we should also think about whether the tutorial needs to be updated. |

At #336 we also discussed the possibility of being able to create sand by drilling rocks; we could easily add that later. |
As described in #26 (comment) `calculator` device provides `arith` capability.

Actually, I can not see the ░ character very well. Maybe its the dirt background and copper attribute?

Oh, the name of the character is "light shade" and my font takes that literally:

It's the same character used for dirt, grass, and stone, but should be the same color as copper. I do want to make sure it's distinguishable in different terminals which don't all handle color the same...

Hmm, in my terminal the copper and dirt colors are easily distinguishable. But I tried it in gnome-terminal and the two colors are very very hard to tell apart. Any suggestions for a different color and/or character to use?

I would suggest IceT background and the sand attribute which I completely forgot about. 😄
No idea what I used sand for half a year ago:

Hah, didn't know we had a sand attribute! I updated it, how does it look now?

Looks good enough, in light colour schemes it very much looks like sand for me, in dark ones it's a bit muddy but still distinguishable. 👍
