'''Gunpowder''' is a [[Science]] [[Item]] and explosive [[Weapon]]. It requires 1 [[Rotten Egg]], 1 [[Charcoal]], and 1 [[Nitre]] to craft and an [[Alchemy Engine]] to prototype.

When placed and lit on [[:Category:Fire Starter|fire]], Gunpowder will explode after 3–6 seconds, destroying objects and dealing massive damage in a small radius (less than one [[Wall]] unit, or 1/4th of a [[Turf]] unit.). It deals 200 damage per charge and can be exploded in stacks, which is more than enough to instantly kill an unarmored character at full health (with the exception of [[Wolfgang]], an upgraded [[WX-78]], or [[Wigfrid]]). This damage is not affected by a Character's damage multipliers.

In ''[[Don't Starve Together]]'', Giants and bosses from ''[[A New Reign]]'' gain resistance to explosive damage after receiving it for the first time. This resistance starts to fade after a few seconds, and completely fades after a total of 10 seconds after the initial explosion, meaning consecutive Gunpowder explosions that are less than 10 seconds apart deal less damage. The first explosion and any explosions that are more than 10 seconds apart still deal full damage, however.

In ''[[Don't Starve Together]]'', Giants and bosses from ''[[A New Reign]]'' gain a resistance to explosive damage when it's received within a short time span. This resistance will fade completely if no other explosive damage is done within 10 seconds. Gunpowder sink in the water, meaning it cannot be used to fight [[Malbatross]] and [[Crab King]] in the water.

Wolfgang

Gunpowder is a Science Item and explosive Weapon. It requires 1 Rotten Egg, 1 Charcoal, and 1 Nitre to craft and an Alchemy Engine to prototype. Rotten Eggs are produced by waiting for Eggs to rot, and can usually be found in Pengull nests sometime after Winter ends. Charcoal can be obtained by burning trees. Nitre is dropped from mining boulders, or by digging up Moleworm burrows in the Reign of Giants DLC.

When placed and lit on fire, Gunpowder will explode after 3–6 seconds, destroying objects and dealing massive damage in a small radius (less than one Wall unit, or 1/4th of a Turf unit.). It deals 200 damage per charge and can be exploded in stacks, which is more than enough to instantly kill an unarmored character at full health (with the exception of Wolfgang, an upgraded WX-78, or Wigfrid). This damage is not affected by a Character's damage multipliers.

Any loot dropped by Mobs killed with Gunpowder will turn to Ashes or the cooked version of their respective Meat (Cooked Morsel, Fried Egg, etc.), except for loot dropped from the boss monster Dragonfly in Reign of Giants DLC.

In the Shipwrecked DLC, Gunpowder can be used to craft Coconades and Boat Cannons. It can also be used to destroy Obsidian Boulders. Gunpowder sink in the water, meaning it cannot be used to fight Sealnado, Tiger Shark, Quacken in the water.

In the Hamlet DLC, Gunpowder can be used to load the Blunderbuss, a ranged weapon dealing 200 damage. It can also be used to destroy Suspicious Cracks in the Ancient Pig Ruins.

In Don't Starve Together, Giants and bosses from A New Reign gain a resistance to explosive damage when it's received within a short time span. This resistance will fade completely if no other explosive damage is done within 10 seconds. Gunpowder sink in the water, meaning it cannot be used to fight Malbatross and Crab King in the water.

Monsters with resistance:

Formula:

  • explosions add (explosion damage / 8000) * 100% explosive resistance
    • each Gunpowder adds 2.5% and 0.2 seconds of decay time
    • each Slurtle Slime adds 0.625% and 0.05 seconds of decay time
  • resistance remains at full strength for 2 seconds
  • resistance then decays by 12.5% per second
  • maximum time for resistance to decay to 0% is therefore 10 seconds
