| − | + | Green glass can be churned out in massive amounts if produced at a magma furnace, because there are no ingredients other than sand used and sand sources cannot be depleted. This makes it a valuable resource for construction; it is as valuable as limestone, but can be used for more things. Green glass goods are manufactured from one [[bag]] of any [[sand]]. | |
| − | + | Clear glass uses both a bag of sand and one [[pearlash]].<br> | |
| − | + | Crystal glass is manufactured from one rough [[rock crystal]] and one pearlash. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | In order to produce glass, sand must be gathered in bags using a task available at a glass furnace. You must designate a sand-gathering zone from the ({{k|i}})-menu in order for this task to succeed. Gathering sand requires [[item hauling]] whilst moving sand bags to stockpiles requires [[furniture hauling]]. You will need spare bags in order to collect sand. | |

| − | + | Apparently you can neither import sand bags nor glass til now (Thoug you can produce crystal glass without sand). | |
