Glass is a Manufactured Material. It is the solidified phase of Molten Glass, which is made in a Glass Forge, and forms once its temperature drops below the melting point.

Usage

• Glass is required to build the Solar Panel and the Monument Top.
• Glass is one of the material options for the Window Tile and Aero Pot.
• Glass is required to build the Sun Lamp and the Pixel Pack.

Production

• Glass is produced in Glass Forge in liquid state from Sand. 100 kg Sand = 25 kg Molten Glass.
• Small quantities of Sand can be dropped into a Metal Volcano's molten metal. Sand requires 1712.85 °C to melt into glass.
• The Metal Refinery can use liquids with a high boiling point to create the extreme temperatures needed to melt sand.
• It can be harvested on rocket missions to renewable Space POIs:
  • In Space Debris at a rate of 39.9 – 119.7 kg per cycle.
