Glass is a translucent material with widespread uses. Glass is manufactured at a glass furnace or magma glass furnace by a glassmaker. There are three types of glass: Green, Clear and Crystal, each with different colour and value.

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 flux, 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.

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 (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.

You can import bags, but not (filled) sand bags or glass at present.

Products

Glass can be manufactured into a wide variety of products:

Glass items often have unique names:

  • A glass chest is called a box.
  • A glass door is called a portal.
  • A glass pipe is called a tube.
  • A glass cage is called a terrarium.

Material value

  • Green glass has a value of 2.
  • Clear glass has a value of 5.
  • Crystal glass has a value of 10.

The damage value of green glass weapons is 50%.
