You asked on stream about ideas for other machines for the mill, have you considered a machine to crush rocks into sand?
Sand isn't usually much of a difficulty to get, but a crusher would give us easier access and possibly have a quality formula.
I don't know if this would cause any sand/glass formula based concerns, but it would open some fun possibilities like giving us colored sand based on the rocks used, which sounds like a great excuse to let us decorate the ground with sand similarly to paving a tile.
