Tips[]

  • Version 0.6.0.0 altered the default recipe for Black Powder but did not change the Fine Black Powder alt. At present this recipe is almost entirely inferior as a result, with a 3:4 Sulfur ratio rather that the default's 1:2, half the production speed, the need for an additional Assembler to make Compacted Coal, and the only upshot a slight saving in coal use.

History[]
