Rocks being 'dried up'? That's totally illogical, rocks are just as dry as sand is. There must be a more reasonable explanation for the lack of minerals.

however, maybe its just me but I have not been able to gather herbs from sand either.

I cant mine from both sand and rock, and I cant gather herbs from sand either.

our economy is breaking down.
we have to store water. everyone that is miner or a blacksmith should stop to work immediately, coal and oar will be very worthful in the future.
carpenters an lumberjacks...........work like a hell. store all you can.
druids and herb-colectros- do the same. herbs will be rare, when the sand will cover the grass.
fishers, get fishes as much as you can, but dont waste water.
and all the rest- pray.

i agree with korwin because not only the rocks at the surface have no more ore and coal. the dwarvenmine is "dried up" too. and that is strange because the dwarvenmine isn't hot, just cool. it lays under the earth and have no contact with the desert or the sand.

this is terrible, the dwarves have lay down their shovels, noone works. noone is smithing because we don't know how long this situation will continue. a dwarven city with no mining and smithing will die. and trolls bane will die too.

some smart people should spend a lot of time in the library, perhaps they can find something.

This is horrible indeed...hm. With out the vital minerals, Trollsbane is as good as gone. I have also felt the strain of this...with out the coal and ore..I am unable to work on my goldsmithing. These are bad times indeed..... I do have to agree with Elvin though, people should start to store up on vital things...the expansion of the desert may soon leave them dead or dieing...and that will not be good. The best thing we can do though is while preparing for all of this, talk. Talk with your neighbors, talk with your friends...even your enemies. This helps to calm yourself...and a calm body is better than a nerve-racked one.
