Read it written up on the forum — the same walkthrough, with the numbers, and somewhere to ask.
The sand pit is the bulk version of sand. Where the ordinary sand gatherable gives you one sand per gather, the pit builds up over 24 hours until it is heaped and then hands over 240 sand in one click — the same way a water tower gives 240 water a day. Collect it and it resets to zero and starts filling again.
You need a large bag to gather from it, woven from reed at the basketweaving station. Click without one and it simply tells you the tool was not found. You can empty the pit early if you want to, but a click spends one durability off your bag whether it holds 240 sand or 1, so most people wait until it is full.
Sand goes to the smelter for glass bottles, and those bottles are what the bottling station needs for brewing. If your region brews, it needs sand in quantity.
Owners get a menu on a long left click from within 5 metres: reset it, rename it (it ships as SLC Sandbox, and the name you choose becomes the item's name), link a progress sign, set the hover text colour or turn it off. It is fully modifiable — stretch or shrink it, and there is a master prim inside that the growing sand follows, so you can pull it out and fit it to a mesh of your own.
