      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Is glass too tedious?

19 posts in this topic

I ventured out to the desert and picked up two stacks of sand hoping to get some glass for the signs on my storage rooms.

Two hours later I realized I still had not gone through a single stack of sand and that I was watching TV so I could inactively play minecraft while cooking glass.

There is a fine line between realism and tediousness and I think making glass is it. Is there any way this system could be improved on? Maybe keep the same time but make 3 glass blocks so it doesn't take forever to make a small stack?

I think it would be cool to be able to put sand in the bloomery and take molten glass out with molds. This could then be left to cool and removed from the mold to make a glass pane.

I use the Somnia mod to speed up cooking/melting processes and farming. When you sleep, it simulates the world around you. nights last about 30 seconds and you can sleep at any time of the day! Its perfect for smelting large amounts of glass and cooking a lot of food!

I don't think that would work for multi player.

In single player, I would just change my game to creativity, pop out a stack of glass then change it back ^^;

The current glass implementation is there just so that folks have access, I plan to add proper glassworking at some point. Just bare with me.

Glass really isn't that tedious if you know what you're doing.

this is the forge layout that i used and it works pretty well, i had sand going in and glass going out at about the same rate.

Is it just me or is anyone else unable to make glass anymore? The sand just doesn't heat up in either the forge or the fire pit.

It doesn't have the temp in the tooltip, but it is working indeed.
