Gunpowder on fire
Exploding gunpowder
Gunpowder is a Science item. It requires a Rotten Egg, a Charcoal, a Nitre to craft and an Alchemy Engine to prototype. On rare occasions, it can also be found from mining gold veined boulders. When placed on the ground and lit on fire it will proceed to explode after 3-6 seconds, destroying objects and dealing massive damage in a small radius. It deals 200 damage per charge (can be exploded in stacks), which is more than enough to instantly kill an unarmored player at full health, unless they are playing as Wolfgang.
