Saltpeter - find some use for it

[Forrell]

I've been collecting SP even though I cannot use it (lvl37). The results of a short search for uses for salt peter.

Potassium nitrate is a chemical compound with the formula KNO3. It is an ionic salt of potassium ions …

Chemical formula: KNO3
Density: 1.22 oz/in³ (2.11 g/cm³)
Chemical structure: [K+].[O-][N+]([O-])=O
Melting point: 334 °C
Boiling point: 400 °C



1. Use potassium nitrate as a fertilizer.

2. Aquarium fertilizer may contain up to 75 percent potassium nitrate in a solution.

3. Stump removal - Cut the stump as low to the ground as possible.

4. Saltpeter is used for making toothpaste for sensitive teeth. Sometimes called sodium nitrate, it is found in explosives and can increase the shelf life of meats and other foods.

5. In industry, saltpeter is employed in glass manufacturing.

6. As in ancient times, saltpeter still finds use today as a food preservative. It is used to protect cured meats from bacterial contamination. It also helps preserve the color of aged meats and cheese.

Provisioning ranged support with gunpowder / cannons etc. would be a fantastic addition.

That really would be awesome!!

500 gunpowder, 80 cannons, 250 tools, (maybe 100 steel or 20 titanium bars for ammo). Take 2400 minutes in lv1 prov. house (8 hours -- or 4 hours w/bunny in lv5). (480 minutes in rarity prov house)

Could also consider catapults:

800 exotic wood, 20 wheels, 20 carriages, 1200 marble. Take 3600 minutes in lv1 prov. house. (720 minutes in rarity prov house)

Could also add upgrades to the rarity provision house, and have the upgrades unlock nuke production (upgrade with magic beanstalks or books).

Would spice things up and finally pump up demand for expert buildings / resources.

Fertilizer buff from the prov house would be cool. 500 saltpeter and 1000 water -- increase field output x3 for 36h. (would be very interesting if you could buff the field instead of the farm).

Best use for Saltpeter would being have to use it for a new type of Book for the General!
