So much glass...
« on: February 25, 2011, 03:57:26 pm »

I was gonna build a tower, but you can't build constructions of glass...
What should I use it for?

You can certainly build constructions out of glass, provided it's in the form of glass blocks.  If you're talking about raw glass, that's treated as an uncut gem.  Have a jeweler cut it into cut glass, then use that to encrust furniture or to make a gem window.

Glass doesn't look as amazing in Stonesense as I would have hoped, so bear that in mind when projecting.  Pretty bad to build up your tower and then be too ashamed to show it off because it's actually bright pink.

It's cool.  We're all dwarves here, and we all have beards.  Still, I'd think my gender were obvious from my name.

Of course, since he doesn't actually walk around counting things, we can only assume that bookkeeping time is spent in deep meditation, psychically sensing exactly how many piles of orthoclase there are. It takes a while to hone a skill like that.

This is a masterful giant cave spider silk "hat". It is died bright pink. On it is an image of a cat in giant cave spider silk. The cat is smiling.

A Girl! Armok has forsaken us! Hurry gather the goblins, elves, babies, and all cripples and dump them into the magma sea as a sacrifice to Armok.

Or... as stereotypical internet talk goes. A Girl! She must be burned!

Funny, considering Tholtig, one of the greatest dwarves ever, personally responsible for the deaths of over a thousand elves(and a cyclops) was a girl.

Making fun of stereotypical internet chauvinism works better when you don't engage in it.



Anyway, yeah, what the others said. You're probably under the impression that glass objects are all made from "raw glass", but "raw glass" is actually just a sort of gem. You need to make the glass blocks directly.
