Why is the glass recipe so expensive? The sand required seems fair, but two compact silty soil blocks? That’s 20 pieces of silty soil, not to mention one minute per compact to create it.
My home planet is Solum and from all the exploring I’ve done, it seems the clay soil base is by far the most common, followed by the peaty soil base, and silty bringing up the rear in last place by a good margin.
I just think the recipe requirements are too high for a block that all will want to use in building, not to mention you need 3 pieces to make a beacon as well.
Because of the extremely high silty soil requirement, I haven’t even bothered to use glass other than to make another beacon. This makes me sad because my favorite thing to do is build, but I just can’t be bothered in the current state.
