Sand & Clay Anywhere

Description
This mod patches all soil to count as both fire clay and sand, allowing glass and stoneware to be made anywhere where soil is present. Revenge of the sandy clay loam!

Note that as a side-effect all soil will use the sand graphic, though they keep their original colors.
The clay-only version of this mod has no effect on graphics: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2911056722

Sand only would be epic, cause clay is but inferior glass.

@LordFengo I wasn't sure there'd be much interest, but I could make it if it is desired.

are you going to make a sand only version?

@A Nickel I've already tried a couple things with no success, though I don't have much experience working with graphics. I was surprised the mod had any effect on them to begin with, but it seems that the vanilla sand graphics are tied in with the [soil_sand] tag which is the same tag that allows soil to be put in bags and utilized as sand. Personally I'm not bothered by it, as soil tends to only be a couple layers of the map and will inevitably be covered up by grass and other flora (or snow). I don't end up looking at it much and it serves its functional purpose (indicating what is soil as opposed to rock) when I do. Still, I plan on making an alternative clay-only version which will hopefully have no graphical effect while still increasing the amount of sand+clay embarks available.

Is there any way to force the original graphics? Having everything looking like sand would be really offputting.
