I hope that we can just use crushed stone to make glass instead of sand since sand is pretty much only in one recipe when using Amator with AAI industry

Hmmm, I didn't play with AAI Industry. It seems sand with apm + base aai used only for glass. 11 items are crafted with glass.

I can do one of this:
1) Remove sand as item & technology and create recipe to make glass from crsuhed stone (but it can be not compatible with other mods, which extends aai)
2) Change recipe of sand to be made from crushed stone with crusher (recrushering ....). The production line will be increased. but it seems be ok with low usage of glass (therefore and sand)

The second option seems to be more mods friendly and with future update some overhaul mods like bob's it can be smoother integrate.

At least the first option is much prettier ) I need some time to downgrade base game 1.1 to check angel or bob with aai how do it integrate glass.

It's seems to be ok to remove sand tech

Thx for suggestion! I've removed sand from processing chain, check it pls with 0.30.17 release
