Sand gathering work order

[Detective Costeau]

I'm trying to somewhat automate my glass production and I'm wondering- is it possible to set up an order at a glass furnace to gather sand if you have less than a certain amount of sand bags?
You can do this with most things- have a standing work order to smelt iron if there's less than 10 iron available, make charcoal if there's less than 20 coal available, that kind of thing- but I can't for the life of me find the way to have a standing work order to "gather sand if there are less than 5 bags of sand available.
Am I just missing something obvious here?

set it for bags and use the adjective "sand item" (might be sand bearing item I can't remember right now), you may also want to set it to only do it if there's more than X empty adjective bags too

Yes, what you are looking for is "sand-bearing item".

Thanks, that seems to have done it.

What do you mean by "sand-bearing item"? Can't seem to find an order with that name. Only "Collect sand"

Collect Sand is the name of the order. The trait "sand-bearing item" is needed when you are setting the conditions for the order (start when less than X sand-bearing items are available).

This works. It was driving me nuts. Thanks!
