Colouring glass
« on: October 26, 2013, 02:07:03 pm »
There is one interesting piece of history that I remembered reading about - in past, pitchblende was used to colour glass green and yellow. Is it planned to add ways to colour glass such as this one to the game? I wonder what options are there.

There already is green glass, clear glass and crystal glass. And you can make windows out of gems in every colour.

Still, more variety is always nice. It looks like there are many options when it comes to stained glass.

I wonder if the game has become odd.

It would give special utility to stones such as realgar, pitchblende and cobaltite, before using them in medicine (after treating them by a metallirgist).
