While Raft explains many things, several aspects of the game are not explained thoroughly. For instance, players do not necessarily know how to craft Glass, thus preventing them from crafting other essential items they may need later on. Fortunately, this guide will illustrate how players can craft Glass in Raft and other helpful tidbits.

How to Craft Glass in Raft

Using Smelter to Craft Glass

To craft Glass in Raft, players need to follow these simple steps:

  1. Players will need a Smelter before they can craft Glass. Players can make a Smelter using Dry Bricks. For every Dry Brick, players will need two Sand and two Clay.
  2. Players must gather six Dry Bricks, six Nails, four Scrap, and four Planks to build a Smelter.
  3. Place the Dry Bricks on the Research Table to make a Smelter.
  4. Once the Smelter is complete, the player must proceed to collect Sand. Sand can be found around islands, under the sea's surface, and on ledges where seaweed and corals are available.
  5. After collecting Sand place them in the Smelter.
  6. Place wooden planks under the Smelter and ignite them using fire.
  7. It will take 60 seconds for one Glass to be crafted.

Why Craft Glass?

Raft Research Table

Glass is needed to craft essential items, such as advanced purifiers and binoculars. While players might not need binoculars, they will need advanced purifiers for water to overcome thirst. To craft binoculars and an advanced purifier, the player will need four Glass each.

Other items that can be crafted using Glass are as follows:

  • Drinking Glass – 1 Glass
  • 2 Honey – 1 Glass
  • Metal Lantern – 1 Glass

Taking into account the limited number of items that can be crafted using Glass, it should not come as a surprise that players do not know how to craft Glass. But now that this guide has illustrated how to craft Glass and why it is very important to make an advanced purifier, players should make the most of this information so that they can be at ease knowing they do not have to worry about getting thirsty again.

Raft is available on macOS, PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
