not that it should be added because the usage would be small but...
more for entertainment...

Well, I think for simplicity, regular glass would work fine. But perhaps following someone could work lke this:

Someone leaves a location, a new object is created: Footprints to Cantr City (547-5:5). Now if they didn't want to be followed, a turn could be spent to cover their tracks. They would then be shown as simply Footprints (547-5:5). Anyone trying to follow covered footprints would have to spend time trying random locations for the person or more footprints. After a certain number of turns (five maybe), the prints would disappear. This would also be helpful with hunting if animals moved more often.

Hmm...I don't know the english word for the process of turning the stuff into glass, but such a machine should be necessary to make glass.

There's already a machine to make glass - a glass oven or glass furnace; I forget what it's called.

Footprints would be real nice.

I was going to put a glass making machine in the orginal posts then I realized that cars in the game have glass so there must be a way to make glass.
