A "sandbox" is a parcel of land which has been put aside in for practicing building. Much like real sandboxes and the concept of sandbox games, creativity and chaos tend to emerge. Several sandboxes exist for specific purposes — such as the Weapons Testing Sandbox — but the majority of sandboxes are simply for regular building.
Signs within each sandbox area make it clear what's allowed. Sandboxes usually have autoreturn enabled to clean themselves several times a day, so before building, look for info so you aren't caught by surprise. Since sandboxes are experimental, they may also be unstable — be sure to regularly take Inventory backups of anything that's important.

- Sandbox Plum - Near Lime, which was at one time a Welcome Area and a copy of the even-older Morris design. This area used to be deathly quiet but it's since picked up traffic.
