Sulfur is a rare mid-game resource found in the world. It is used for Black Powder, Compacted Coal and some late-game parts.

Obtaining

Unlocking

 Sulfur is unlocked via the Sulfur Research chain in the M.A.M. using:

10

Additionally, its resource scanner is unlocked in the Tier 7 milestone Nuclear Power.

Resource acquisiton

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.

Items produced per minute

	Miner Mk.1	Miner Mk.2	Miner Mk.3
Impure	30	60	120
Normal	60	120	240
Pure	120	240	480

	Miner Mk.1	Miner Mk.2	Miner Mk.3
Impure	75	150	300
Normal	150	300	600
Pure	300	600	780

Number of Sulfur resource nodes is as follows:

Type	Number	Rate Mk.3	Rate Mk.3 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.

Usage

Research

 Sulfur unlocks the Sulfur Research chain in the M.A.M. when picked up.
