"To do good, work well, and lie low is the way" - Lao Tzu via Ursula K. Le Guin

Adds Silica, Silicon, and some basic Fiber Optics to the game, with an option for more intermediates including silicon wafers, silicone and more. On Nauvis, this all derives from stone, and the amount of stone is increased by default. In Space Age, stone can be crushed to silica, and a new plant called Razorgrass is added along with a new silica production chain for Gleba.

This mod is more complex than Titanium, Lead or Tin, and should play well with any or all of them.
