Like the Topic name says, if i construct a glass floor on a regular rough stone floor then does it still count as being translucent? Does it let sunlight through although its basically glass on stone?

[Doppel]

Ok, is this like a really Uristian question?    
(like, "what does the lever of doom do?")

I believe I've read that once a square is sunlit, it's always sunlit, regardless of what you build over it.

I think what Doppel is trying to ask is if you build a glass floor on top of a regular stone floor, not over a channel, will that stone floor get replaced by the glass floor and let in light, or will the glass floor be just like a floor built on top of the natural stone floor and not let in light?

[Doppel]

Yes, sorry for my bad phrasing, i ment to ask what Sagabal said.

When you test it, be sure to let the rest of us know the results.

Firstly, glass does not matter - all materials act the same when you turn them into walls/floors right now (except color and value, of course).

So the question is really will constructed floors let light in below them, if you don't remove the natural floor first. I just tested it and the answer is no, the tile remains dark subterranean.

So the "greenhouse" trick using glass constructed floors to "let light in" for "outside" plants really doesn't require glass to be the material at all?

[Loctavus]

Nope, you've simply layered glass over natural stone. You'd need to deconstruct the floor, hollow it out into a channel and then re-pave it. Any constructed floor lets in light, glass just makes the most sense in that situation

Nope!  Make it out of microcline and enjoy your new cyanhouse!

Edit:  Curses!  Beat to the punch!
