Adds sand!
Adds glass!
Yay!

By default you get 8 sand from 1 stone and you need 4 sand for one glass plate. These ratios can be changed in mod settings.

Sand is added to recipe for concrete. Glass plates are added to following recipes:

  • Lab - it looks like glass to me
  • Small lamp - to nobody's suprise
  • Solar panel - because they aren't expensive enough already
  • Laser turret - it has to focus the laser through some glass lense, right?
  • Locomotive - is that a dark glass in the front or am I blind?
  • Rocket control unit - okay, that screen is definitely glass
  • Night vision equipment - lenses again, I guess
  • Rail signals - it's like several tiny colored lamps
  • Display panel - obviously glass

Because it doesn't remove any existing ingredients, you will end up with slightly higher stone consumption than vanilla game. But hey, what would you use all that stone for anyway?

If Space Age is enabled, glass plates are also added to these recipes:

  • Agricultural tower - I see some glass on the bottom
  • Biochamber - that cylinder looks very glass
  • Cryogenic plant - are those some windows?

Additionaly, with Space age you get access to a direct stone -> glass recipe inside a foundry. You can also get some glass from scrap recycling.

If you get any ideas of recipes which should or shouldn't use sand or glass, let me know.

Icons for glass and sand are "borrowed" from RitnGlass, because I'm too lazy to make my own.
