Unlocking[edit | edit source]
Additionally, its resource scanner is unlocked in the Tier 7 milestone Nuclear Power.

Sulfur can be harvested by hand (default E) in trace amounts from resource deposits scattered across the world, or from inexhaustible resource nodes on which Miners can be constructed to extract automatically. Additonally, Lizard Doggos will ocassionally bring it when tamed.

| Miner Mk.1 | Miner Mk.2 | Miner Mk.3 | |

Number of Sulfur resource nodes is as follows:
| Node purity | Number of nodes | Mk.3 mining rate | Mk.3 mining rate at 250 % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Impure | 1 | 120 | 300 |
| Normal | 7 | 1680 | 4200 |
| Pure | 3 | 1440 | 3600 |
| Total | 11 | 3240 | 6840* / 8100 |
*Note: The extraction rate of a Miner Mk.3 at 250 % is 1200/min, but a Mk.5 Conveyor can only carry 780/min, therefore the maximum mined amount cannot be transported.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Traditional gunpowder is composed of sulfur, carbon, and saltpeter (potassium nitrate). Therefore, Black Powder is created by combining Coal and Sulfur.
