Hello all.

i was wondering today if i should introduce gunpowder in RKEC.

The recipe can be :

5 Saltpeter
2 Charcoal
1 Sulfur

i can make or a saltpeter deposit, or a special mine, or even give the option to the already existing Salt mine as choice. Charcoal is already in the game. Sulfur i can maybe make rare deposit like silver/gold ore deposits.

What we maybe can make with this: an industry that craft 4 diff items for sell purpose only like weapon / armor / furnitures like:

Thunder Bombs (a mongolian sphere, an iron orb filled with gunpowder like in the 300 movie)
Hand Guns (a small 1-hand primitive gun like the dwarves use in Warcraft)
Muskets (Although it came later in history, been kinda popular as a name)
Cannons (We got a ton of cannon of all shapes by a lot in late medieval area)

What do you think about this ?

Black powder was used in mining. How about manufacturing explosives for that purpose too? The barrel model could be used to store the powder.

Yes, I believe it's a solid addition.

Just spitballing here:

Use with mines:
  • Supply mines with gunpowder for increased deposits
  • make extraction faster

Use with tunnels:
  • Make a new tunnel recipe, that uses gunpowder, but less stone and less Build
