How to Get Glass in No Man’s Sky – Destructoid

Glass is a useful product to have in your home Nobody’s heavenespecially since the material is used as an ingredient to craft over 40 items in the game. The tradeable item is mainly used for construction and base building, but there are decorative items that also require glass in Nobody’s heaven to build.

There are two ways to get glass in Nobody’s heavenThe first method allows you to build Glass after obtaining Frost Crystals and learning the required blueprint.

How to Get Glass in No Man’s Sky Using Frost Crystals

Frost crystals are a kind of resource in Nobody’s heaven which can be harvested from the leaves of Frostwort. Since Frostwort requires frozen conditions, you can find them on frozen planets. However, if you can’t find Frostwort, you can also grow the plants in any environment by using a Hydroponics Tray.

As for the blueprint, you can find it in a production facility or operations center, but the fastest way to get it is through the Synthesis Laboratory, where you can buy it for 250 Nanites. Since 250 Nanites isn’t a big price, you’re better off saving your time and finding the blueprint organically and just buying the blueprint. For those unfamiliar, the Synthesis Laboratory is a research terminal found in the Space Anamoly.

Once you have Frost Crystals and the blueprint, you can craft 1 glass for every 40 Frost Crystals.

How to Refine Glass in No Man’s Sky

The second way to get glass inside Nobody’s heaven is by a refiner. There are three ways to refine glass in Nobody’s heaven. The first recipe follows the same process, where you get 1 Glass by refining 40 Frost Crystals. The second recipe can give you 1 Glass by refining 40 Silicate Powder, while the last recipe will give you 1 Glass when you refine 50 Cyto-Phosphate and 50 Salt.

For Frost Crystals and Silicate Powder, you can use any refiner, including a portable refiner. However, you will need at least a medium refiner for the Cyto-Phosphate and Salt process.

The easiest way to make glass is by the Silicate Powder Method. All you need to get Silicate Powder in Nobody’s heaven is to dig a tunnel on the land surface of any planet using the Terrain Manipulator option, and you start farming Silicate Powder.

Both Salt and Cyto-Phosphate are relatively harder to obtain, as you have to be underwater to find these resources. This can be quite a task if you don’t have the necessary upgrades to survive underwater for long.

Alloy Window, Bio-Dome, Bio-Lantern, Living Glass, Marine Shelter, Mind Ark, Terrarium and Viewing Sphere are some of the items in Nobody’s heaven that require Glass as an ingredient.
