Stone can now be crushed into sand, which is then smelted in furnaces to produce glass as the substrate for electronic circuits.
Recipe changes
- Electronic circuit: glass plate instead of iron plate
- Small lamp: glass plate instead of iron plate
- Solar panel: glass plates instead of copper plates
- Display panel: glass plate instead of iron plate
- Concrete: 10 sand instead of 5 stone bricks. If Space Age is active, concrete from molten iron is also changed. This change is optional (enabled by default).
Space Age additions
- Biochamber: glass plates instead of landfill
- Agricultural tower: glass plates instead of landfill
- Recipes for melting stone and casting glass plates in the foundry
- Stone added to asteroid crusher outputs (disabled by default, configurable in mod settings)
Please note that unless you change the asteroid crushing settings below (or install another mod that adds stone asteroids) you will not be able to craft circuits on space platforms unless you import stone/sand/glass.
Settings
- Glass electronic circuit icon (disabled by default): replace the green circuit icon with a glass circuit
- Sand icon: brown paper or white plastic bag for sand (brown by default)
- Concrete made using sand (enabled by default): replaces stone bricks with sand in concrete recipe
- Stone from asteroids (disabled by default): adds stone to asteroid crusher results according to the options below
- Add stone to metallic asteroid chunks: which metallic asteroid crushing recipes also produce stone
- Add stone to carbonic asteroid chunks: which carbonic asteroid crushing recipes also produce stone
- Add stone to oxide asteroid chunks: which oxide asteroid crushing recipes also produce stone
Feedback
I am always open to feedback and ideas, including for recipes that should be changed to incorporate sand/glass.
I first made this mod because I thought it was a little bit silly building circuit boards on iron plates.
