Glass is crafted from Quartz at the Fabricator, so it will not appear as a finished resource on the seafloor. It is also a separate material from Enameled Glass.
LAST CHECK
ANSWER LOCK // QUICK RESPONSE

03 // EXACT ANSWERExact answerFULL SPOILER
Collect two Quartz from the Safe Shallows caves and nearby early routes, open the Fabricator's Basic Materials tab, and craft one Glass. Use Glass as an ingredient for Enameled Glass and several seabase modules.
