Soap industry page[edit]

I created this page to sort out what I had to do to get my soap industry going. I have elephants, trees, sand and a volcano so I think I should be set...? I'm not doing a picture but this is a great place to get my thoughts in one spot so I can either make soap, or not.

This page is quite misleading, implying that you'll need to establish an entire glass industry just to make the workshop, when all you need is one sand bag, one wood log (to burn into ashes and refine into pearlash) and two units of coke/charcoal (if you don't have magma), plus a wood furnace, ashery, (magma) kiln, and (magma) glass furnace to actually do all of the work. --Quietust 18:49, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Hence, a glass industry.--CrazyMcfobo 19:31, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
The article originally suggested that the glass industry would have to be sustainable, which is completely false in this case - if all you want is soap, you can just make your 3 vials and then tear down the glass furnace and kiln when you're done with them. The article has been updated accordingly. --Quietust 19:39, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
