Common Blockers
“I cannot find the Glass recipe in my Fabricator.” The recipe does not require a blueprint. If it is not showing, check that your Fabricator is built and has power. If the menu seems incomplete, scroll through the material categories.
“I have Quartz but the option is greyed out.” You may not have enough Quartz in your inventory. The recipe requires exactly 2 Quartz for each Glass. If you have 1 Quartz, collect one more before returning to the Fabricator.
Next Action
Craft 1 Glass, then proceed to the Habitat Builder recipe for the full material list.
