Add ingredients to glass construction

Post by elilasol »

Glass, has for quite some time been a three part material, using some sort of flux(potash or sodaash from burned plants), and limestone. Now we dont technically have potash, but you could just add ash, and limestone to the glass making recipe and we could start having some decent quality glass.

This could also just be a different type of glass that still counts as glass.

Seconded- A lot of curios and goods made with glass are hobbled by the raw sand quality cap. Ant farms/spectacles/etc.

This is a good idea, however, potash is not ash.

Potassium nitrate, aka potash, is a salt that is required by most plants. Being a salt makes it both a mineral, and water soluble. When plants are burnt, salt is left behind. When you wash the ash, and let the water dry, potash crystals will form.

I think I would be a good idea if potash was made by washing large amounts of ash, and it would be nice if we finally had a way to actually make large amounts of ash.

I think that glass is fine as it is!
Nice to have some simple things in the game as well.

I like the idea to add more ingredients for glass recipe.
It will allow us get higher quality than sand

Probably a good idea. Would also like some glass blowing mechanic.
