Gunpowder is a volatile powder that most often appears in large piles in the Coal Pits, but can occasionally spawn in other biomes as well (though this is rare). There are 2 variants of this material, one that explodes and one that only burns, but are called the same thing when mouse-overed in the game. Generally speaking, the variant that spawns naturally is always the one that explodes whereas the non-exploding variant comes from the Gunpowder Trail modifier.
More information
- There is only a single spell that produces the exploding variant, being the Gunpowder Arc modifier. As the powder from it explodes immediately it is not useful for Alchemy.
- The large explosive crates in the Hiisi Base contain explosive gunpowder, and is the only Rigid Body explosive that can be partially damaged without detonating.
- Like most explosives, exploding gunpowder can set creatures on fire.
Trivia
The exploding variant is sometimes known as Firecrackers.
