Glass
Glass is a transparent refined material in Subnautica 2, made from Quartz and used for observatories, windows, and base construction.
Quick Info
Description
Glass is a transparent refined material processed from Quartz. It allows you to build observatories, windows, and other transparent base modules that let you enjoy panoramic views of the underwater world without leaving the safety of your habitat. Glass is essential for any base designed with aesthetics and observation in mind.
How to Craft
Glass is crafted at the Fabricator using 2x Quartz. Because each piece of Glass requires two Quartz, you'll want to stockpile Quartz when planning larger base builds with many windows or observatories.
Quartz
2x — found in shale outcrops at 0–200m.
Fabricator
Crafting station found in lifepods and bases.
Prerequisites
Quartz — the raw material for Glass.
Uses & Recipes
Glass is primarily used in base construction for transparent modules. It's the key ingredient for observatories and windows that let you watch marine life pass by from the comfort of your habitat.

How is Glass made?
Glass is crafted from 2x Quartz at a Fabricator. Quartz is harvested from shale outcrops found in multiple biomes, so gathering enough for larger builds is straightforward.
What is Glass used for?
Glass is used for observatories, windows, and other transparent base modules. It lets you enjoy underwater views from inside your base without exposing yourself to predators.
Is Glass the same as Quartz?
No, Glass is a refined material made by processing Quartz at a Fabricator. Quartz is the raw resource mined from outcrops, while Glass is the crafted product used in construction.
