No benefit to crushed vs powdered quartz

Hello!

1 crushed quartz and 100 coal gas nets you 2 glass.
Crushed quartz can be turned into powdered quartz at a 1 to 1 ratio.
2 powdered quarts and 100 coal gas and 10 sand nets you 4 glass.

There is no reason to make the transition unless you need the byproduct gravel for some reason, or I assume are moving further up the processing chain, but during green/two science pack level of research it is actually worse to process further, despite the ability to do so and the ability to smelt the processed (crushed) version.

Yes, to reach final levels, you will need that one. also, i think is faster.

yes there are dead points in the prosessing of may things often you need to skip a tech level and then build larger

Coal gas consumption is divided by 2 if you use the powdered quartz recipe
