Gunpowder is loose powder pulled from ammunition. It is a material for homemade explosives and noisemakers.
Its biggest use is the Make Pipe Bomb recipe, which takes twenty uses of powder. The Make Firecracker recipe takes a single use. A full container holds about ten uses.
Gunpowder is gathered by taking apart spare ammunition with pliers or vise grips. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Make Pipe Bomb is the heavy recipe. It takes twenty uses of Gunpowder, an Iron Pipe or Broken Iron Pipe, three Scrap Electronics and one Twine. A metal saw or small saw is needed and kept. No skill or station is needed. The result is a Pipe Bomb.
Make Firecracker is the light recipe. It takes one use of Gunpowder, one Glue, one Twine and a sheet of paper. A Flier, Brochure, Handwritten Letter or Mail all work as the paper. Scissors are needed and kept. The result is a Firecracker - Crafted.
A pipe bomb needs about two full containers of powder. A firecracker barely dents one, so a single container covers many of them.
How to Get Gunpowder
The Gather Gunpowder recipe makes it. It takes one item of ammunition and a pair of pliers or vise grips, which are kept. No skill or station is needed. Any ammunition works, so rounds for a gun that is not carried make good powder.
