The new TPT update will add silicon to make PSCNs, NSCNs and more. However, silicon itself cannot be obtained.
I propose to add the possibility of obtaining silicon in the same way as it is produced in real industry - by heating a mixture of sand and coal. So SAND + COAL / BCOL + temp = SLCN.
With this reaction, it will be possible to build entire factories for the production of electrical components, which will be obtained from simple coal and sand.
Hi! This exact reaction already exists using LAVA(STNE) instead of sand. I think extending the reaction to support being created from LAVA(GLAS) would be a nice idea, though.
Maybe Also Boron And Phosphorus? To Make PSCN And NSCN Respectively
