v50.14 · v0.47.05 This article is about the current version of DF.Note that some content may still need to be updated. |
Saltpeter is a non-economic and low-value yellow stone found within sedimentary layers. With a melting point of 10601 °U and a boiling point of only 10720 °U , it is one of the few stones which will boil in magma. Saltpeter is also the second least dense non-economic stone, second to jet, making it great for objects that must be hauled frequently, if it were not for its rarity.
In real life, it is used in conjunction with charcoal and sulfur in order to make gunpowder. This process does not exist in Dwarf Fortress (yet; it seems Toady has plans to include gunpowder later, but only for simple uses), and therefore gunpowder is also non-existent.
