A {{l|magma glass furnace}} can also be used, in which case no fuel is required. Raw glass (of all three types) can now be acquired from some {{l|trading|trade}} caravans and be purchased in the {{L|embark}} screen. Note that raw glass can '''''not''''' be made into glass items, but can only be {{L|gem cutting|cut}} into {{L|gem}}-like items which can be used for {{L|decoration|decorating}} items. You have to buy or collect {{L|sand}} to get the raw materials to make glass. |
Glass is valued based on the difficulty in making it, with green glass being the lowest value and crystal glass being the highest. | Glass is valued based on the difficulty in making it, with green glass being the lowest value and crystal glass being the highest. | ||

In addition, it may be used to produce {{l|gems#Glass|glass gems}}. These, especially ones made of green glass, are excellent practice for aspiring jewelers (and their production provides experience for {{l|glassmaker}}s). Glass can also be shaped into {{L|block}}s which can be used to build {{L|workshop}}s and {{L|construction}}s. You can even make glass trap components. |
