A neat idea for electricity

You can make a solar cell from berrys i remember seeing this on applied science, but it could be a cool way to work electronics into ohol eventually. (I know its a long way off if it happens).

Without streams, lakes, or waves solar wind or chemical power is the options we have in ohol.

Wow! Cool site.
Looks like we need glass for the recipe.
New resource - sand mounds/piles/pits in deserts?

Idk how glass would work lol just thought of this low tech solution when someone brought up electric fences

loool should use potato for battery. Call it potato battery. now potato will be less useless

hold on a bit, we need threadmills or those windmills first

For glass, sand should be like clay, but in the desert biomes.
A pile of it has, say, 5 separate piles of sand.
You can use a bowl on it, like wheat, or a shovel.
You use a shovel on it and then the shovel has sand in it.
You dump the sand in a bowl, it empties the shovel.

You put the bowl of sand in the oven and you get hot glass.

To work the hot glass we should have steel tubes.
To make steel tubes you hammer a piece of steel out to steel plate.
Let the steel plate cool, then hammer it again into other shapes, one will be steel tube, or pipe.
The pipe could be used later for plumbing.
You could even add clay nozzle to the steel pipe as the mouthpiece of the blowpipe.
Glass can be blown in a furnace into multiple shapes, similar to the way steel is hammered into iron shapes.
Starting with smaller, thicker glass shapes and working out to longer, thinner ones.
Eventually you can blow a long glass tube.
The glass tube is then cute once, lengthwise, and reheated before it's opened up and flattened out and, voila, you have a sheet of glass.

Before the tubes were cut, they were allowed to flatten on their own, but this gives poor quality glass for windows. Maybe the glass cutter and the thinner glass panels can come later and for now we can make thicker glass panels from tubes that are allowed to flatten on themselves. Could just be the last item produced in the series of blowing and reheating the glass on the end of the blowpipe, or, once the tube is removed from the blowpipe with a knife, sharp stone or piece of flint (it's removed with stress, not cut) it can then be placed back in the furnace with tongs and laid on a flat stone to flatten out.
