Enshrouded 1.0: How to Make Glass at the Smelter

Glass is a crafting material you smelt from Sand and Charcoal in Enshrouded. The game describes it as “A wondrous material. It is transparent and offers many potential applications, especially in building and crafting!” You will need it for windows, lamps, flasks and several key workstations.

Quick answer: For 10 Glass, put 30 Sand and 10 Charcoal into a Smelter.

Make Glass at the Smelter

The Smelter handles the base Glass recipe. Follow these steps to make Glass.

Have the Blacksmith craft a Smelter using 50 Fired Bricks and 1 Crucible, then place the finished unit at your base.

Open the Smelter and select Glass from the list of outputs it can produce.

Load the required materials into the Smelter. For one batch, that is 30 Sand and 10 Charcoal. You can craft Charcoal in the Charcoal Kiln if you are short.

Queue Glass and collect it from the Smelter when the batch finishes. Each batch yields 10 Glass.

All Glass recipes

Three stations can produce Glass. The Smelter is the starting option, the Blast Furnace smelts larger batches, and the Carpenter converts Glass Shards you pick up as loot.

Station	Inputs	Glass produced
Smelter	30 Sand + 10 Charcoal	10
Blast Furnace	40 Sand + 15 Coal	20
Carpenter	5 Glass Shards + 1 Charcoal	1

The Blast Furnace comes later. The Blacksmith crafts it from 20 Fired Bricks, 1 Bellows, 10 Lump of Clay, 10 Iron Bars and 30 Sand, after which it smelts 20 Glass per batch.

Where to get Sand

Sand is dug straight from the desert ground of the Kindlewastes. The Glass recipe also accepts the other sand variants you will find across the world, so any of these work in place of plain Sand.

Fine Sand
Veilwater Basin Sand
Cinder’s Cradle Sand

What Glass is used for

The Laboratory also needs 1 Scientific Instruments, 1 Athanor, 40 Fired Bricks and 10 Copper Bars alongside its 3 Glass. The Lantern adds 4 Iron Bars, 4 Charcoal, 2 Sandstone and 2 Luminous Growth, while the Wall Lantern uses 1 Iron Bars, 2 Charcoal, 2 Goo and 2 Luminous Growth.
