Mining explosives and powder bombs?

Started by Treyflix,

I'm hesitant to make this as its not a fully thought out suggestion but we has saltpeter, sulphur and coal... That's the recipe for gunpowder!

Now I'm not saying we should have guns cause we don't, but gun powder was used for explosives to lol. Basically just replace TNT except you need to place string as a fuse. If you light it directly it just blows up in your face.

It would be pretty balanced cause it would require two minerals, and iron for the flint and steel....

This would work great but im curious, was there any explosives used for mining that could be acheived in TFC's time period?

And to the devs: how do you feel about adding a explosive to TFC now that TNT is uncraftable?

Um... yeah, this has been talked about a lot. I think Dunk has even stopped by to talk about the possibility of gunpowder as a TNT block substitute in the future on a couple of occasions. They have these three minerals in the game for a reason...

If this was added, I can just imagine Hitting a sulphur vein and laughing manically for a few minutes. :D

But seriously, having some explosives for mining would be really really nice. Especially ones balanced for TFC'S blocks. And one with a collecting method that isn't moronic. Go forth and slay creepers!

I found sulphur in a closed caved that had a lava pool in it and it did'nt seem to be an ore but just an entity stuck on the normal stone. Is it supposed to be so?

I imagine explosives in TFC ... TNT mining ... the epic cave-ins that would occur ... so many good stuff :3

abit off topic but what if we had naturally explosive elements within the ground ?

a cave below a swamp could fill with methane or anouther gas and leach to the surface

on its own in nature you might see a "bog fire" naturally burning

not sure what uses natural gas could be but i know it would be rather interesting to see what a tourch would do with a cave full of the stuff

... Wow, you just gave me a GREAT idea on how to deal with the police... (?)

Ok, jokes aside, i don't know if we will get something like that honestly... I see little to no use we could give to methane/flammable explosive gases in general. Maybe some kind of ilumination, a gas lamp or something similar, but with our limited tech in TFC i don't know if that will be possible.

I always more natural hazards just for the challenge, tbh. Even if we can't use the gas for anything it'd be awesome just to have to watch out for it.

Maybe there could be some kind of crop that grows better in methane-heavy environments.
