Glass is produced at the [[glass furnace]] using [[fuel]] with either [[sand]] (green glass), sand and [[pearlash]] (clear glass), or [[rock crystal]] and pearlash (crystal glass). 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 value corresponds to the difficulty of its production, with green glass having the lowest material value (2), clear glass intermediate (5), and crystal glass the highest (10).

== Uses ==
Glass can be used for most things that can be produced at a [[mason's workshop]], (with the exception of slabs, querns and millstones). 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. These, especially ones made of green glass, are excellent practice for aspiring jewelers (and their production provides experience for [[glassmaker]]s). 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.

For more information on the use of glass, see the [[Glass industry]] page.

Raw and cut glass storage options can be found under the Gem [[stockpile]] sub-menu. Glass blocks are stored in Bar/Block stockpiles.

==Glass and magma==
Glass behaves somewhat oddly with [[magma]], despite being strictly magma-safe (with a melting point of {{ct|13600}}) - glass objects dropped into magma tend to disappear instantly (a property seemingly shared by every organic material), but '''built''' glass furniture will survive indefinitely when covered with magma.

==Physical properties==
Through memory hacking, the material properties of each type of glass have been determined; for reference, they have been reconstructed below as material definitions:

Glass bridges and floodgates will deconstruct when touching flowing [[magma]].

'''Presser''' is the skill associated with the pressing [[labor]]. Pressers make [[oil]], [[honey]] and [[wax|craft material]]s at a [[screw press]].

Presser [[skill|skill level]] is used to determine the speed at which the labor is completed. The type of container used also adds to the value of the final product.

Pressers produce ingredients of [[soap]] and process [[honeycomb]]s for a fortress as part of the [[soap|soap industry]] and [[beekeeping industry]] respectively.
