Blue circuits need glass, how tf do you automate that? Just setting every rock in the game to decon? I dont know if there is another way. Is there a mod that can automate glass?
Sand is generated on map creation, so you should just be able to mine it.
Sand -> furnace -> Glass -> furnace -> Silicon
If you are in a map generated before using the mod, you can automate it by crushing rock using a high powered machine press, which is a bit further down the tech. But that requires L2 modules to make, so it will no doubt be extremely fiddly/annoying if you have to go down this route.
