Markphneumann Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Good afternoon everyone! Have you ever heard of "Nitre Beds" ? It is basically hay or plant fiber mixed with soil and turds or urine. Then left a few months to compost which will create nitrate salts which is then strained through with water then boiled down to evaporate leaving Potassium Nitrate. Widely used in the 1800s, the American Revolutionary war. https://docsouth.unc.edu/imls/lecontesalt/leconte.html So when converting into the game, Combine plant fiber, Turd and murky water which will create a hay bale like block darker in color after 3-5 days waiting, punch to harvest maybe around 30 units of nitrate fiber then boil down in Science Table with grain alcohol or water to create nitrate powder which will yield also 30 units of nitrate powder! tell me what ya think guys! i wish i knew coding and modding etc. i would have done it for you guys i just love this game so much!

OzHawkeye Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Well, the coding wouldn't be a big stopper I should think, but the ingredients might be. At least on my games, I've got other uses for the middle of those 3 ingredients beyond making nitrate powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markphneumann Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Thanks for the response! I understand, well we can always change the ingredients maybe murky water again since nitrate is present almost everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Data Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 no it can be done, just beause the middle ingediant is used for something, no reason it can't be used for something else, i used to be able to do any combination on the xmls in 16.4, custom icons lots of food/items new i havent learnt the new modlets yet, otherwise i would of coded it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthjake Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Except turds are out, and I'm happy about that. Maybe rotten meat, but like Oz said, I've got other uses for that. And given that mining underground leads to some huge nitrate deposits, I need coal more then nitrate. Time to head to the burned area again....

Markphneumann Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Awesome! Thanks for the feedback! - - - Updated - - - Coal is even easier! Well charcoal more of you can make it by charring wood inside a metal box with a few wholes in it for gas pressure to escape. I have actually made charcoal before in a tin can it really works!

lisa9838 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Yeah coding can be done by just small amount of brainstorming....Main this is ingrediants ,so focus on that 1st and rest will be fine myccpay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagas Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I have yet to find any nitrate blocks while mining in 17, I've found everything else while mining. What BIO would be the best choice in looking for nitrate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Data Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 burnt areas, sample the top gravel bits with a shovel until nitrate found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Isn't the burnt forest supposed to have coal as its main resource, while the snow biome has nitrate? With smaller quantities of other resources present (which means you can indeed still find nitrate in the burnt forest)? Or did this all change recently?

jdm311 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Check the in-game journal mining section. It should tell the common resource for each biome. All ores have a chance to be found everywhere, but the common resource for that biome should be found near bedrock, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollowprime Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 In some modded servers nitrate powder was made with similar ingredients in the cement mixer albeit very slowly. I suspect we could generate coal too,maybe in a slow burning furnace that attracts zombies. Also if anyone wonders ,materials that are processed on a composter passively generate heat. It would be cool to throw waste items inside a composter and let it turn into fertilizer with the danger of attracting zombies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
