Glass in Ark

[Grimfyre]

So while we're all waiting for the biome update, i thought it would be a good time to bring up the question about Glass in ARK.

I'm sure this has been asked bout before and I'm almost positive it will eventually be a thing but here is my suggestion...

You farm stone... put stone in the mortar and pestle to turn it into sand.

You put the sand into the furnace and viola you get Glass :)

Thoughts?

There's already sand on the beaches, and the crystals you mine on the mountains are already used for glass.

Why do you think it's an ingredient in the spyglass?

EDIT: also, stone can't be made into glass. Wrong material.

You are right, there is sand on the beach. How would you propose they make it harvestable?

As for crystals, that makes sense. Then we just need actual glass "items" such as real windows is all I am getting at.

How to make the sand harvestable? Considering the current harvest mechanic it would have to be specific piles that you dig up.

Or possibly add quartz to the stone mining chance, much like metal is now.

And windows? Agree completely! I'd love a series of items using glass. Like windows, full glass walls so you can make underwater bases that are airtight, windshields, all sorts of things.

There are already glass bottles, glass used in optics, and glass used in the diving mask. I could totally see expanding on that.

There's a mod for this atm. Also I believe they have planned for lack of better term "scy-fy" teir equipment as well as more primitive stuff so that the servers can run whatever scenario you'd like.

Glass would be cool !! also some proper furniture ie: table & chairs etc ... I know the dev's said we are getting furniture in this update and I am keen to see what they have put in !
