In the rule “The Mosaic” replace

Its Content, which can be a string of up to two characters, and by default is empty

with

* Its Material, which can be any of the Materials listed in the rule Materials and by default is stone
* Optionally, its Inlay, which can be any ascii character. By default a tile has no inlay
* Its Content, which consists of the character of its Material followed by the character of its Inlay (if it has one)

In the rule “Materials” replace

s: Sand. ‘‘colored sand imported from merchant ships or collected on the beach.’‘

with

s: Stone. “simple stones collected from the local river beds”
f: Fine Sand. “colored sand imported from merchant ships or collected on the beach.”

Splits content into material + an item rather than letting some have two items and no material. Makes sure every tile has a material.

Currently inlays are just a symbol rather than a symbol that represents something else because I feel like its easier to just go “If the inlay is X” rather than having to also add X to a suburule and define what it means

I feel like defining Content is kind of unnecessary, why can’t we just have Material and Inlay and leave it at that?

Mostly so we can just refer to both the material and the inlay as the content, and it has a clear definition (as a stone tile with an inlay of f would be sf, whereas a fine sand tile with inlay of s would be fs)
