A [[magma glass furnace]] can also be used, in which case no fuel is required. Raw glass (of all three types) can also be acquired from some [[trading|trade]] caravans and be purchased in the [[embark]] screen. Note that raw glass can '''''not''''' be made into glass items (excluding [[strange mood]]s), but can only be [[gem cutting|cut]] into [[gem]]-like items which can be used for [[decoration|decorating]] items. You have to buy or collect [[sand]] to get the raw materials to make glass. |

Glass can also be used to make [[tube]]s. Note that the name for some glass products is different than the same product made from a different material. For example, a glass tube has the same uses as a wooden pipe. It can also produce goods normally made at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]] by a [[stone crafter]], with the exception of obsidian short swords and generic crafts. In addition, it may be made as raw glass, which can then be cut as a gem at a [[jeweler's workshop]] by a [[gem cutter]], in a similar fashion to cutting generic stones. |

The value of glass is on par with low-to-mid value gemstones, meaning that a source of sand on your map used in tandem with a [[magma glass furnace]] makes decoration with cut raw green glass an essentially free, and very lucrative, way to increase the value of your goods while training legendary glassmakers and jewelers- particularly when those goods are themselves made of glass. |
− | Glass can also be made | + | Glass can also be made as [[block]]s which can be used to build [[workshop]]s and [[construction]]s. You can even make glass trap components. Unique goods made from glass include glass [[window]]s and [[flask|vial]]s, as well as [[Furniture#Furniture_types_with_multiple_names|renamed versions]] of common furniture. |
