How to get sand?

Hi, I look in wiki it said to find sand dune along the beach... I run the whole map already and can't find any beach. Only small ponds of water here and there. So how can I get the sand?

You can make a mine and set it to depth level one or two, you can mouse over the levels and you can see what they have in relevance to the ore in the area. (I'm not sure if I was supposed to build a mine right next to the node.)

I get the stoneblock, clay, sand every now and then.

Less reliable, but mining any surface node has an seemingly random chance of dropping any type of minable resource such as stone, sand or metals.

But yeah, having a mine set to focus on extracting resources on levels 1-10 which always give you a chance of your miner bringing up either clay, stone or sand each haul.

How do you build mine?
1. Am I suppose to have the mine building right next to the ore deposit?
2. If I have got 2 deposit near to each other, can I only build one mine in between them?
3. If can Do I need to build 2 mine shaft?

From 2, if a bit far away like 15-20spaces between the 2 ore deposit, can I build in between them leaving some spaces like 7 spaces away from each of the ore deposits and the mine building size of 6 (So total 20 spaces).

It's not the building but the location of the mine shaft(s) that is important. They have to be within...9 spaces of the deposit to collect that kind of ore, if memory serves.

Also, you may want to think about specialized mines for different ore types. Every time someone goes into the mine, they can return with one kind of product, so having an extensive mining complex that can pull up copper, coal, iron, tin, and chalk might give you a good spread of materials they might come up with, but you'll still only have five miners to the entire building, so finding the particular kinds of ore you want will be spotty and slow.
