Description[ | ]
Nitrate Powder is a resource that can be acquired by mining 
Potassium Nitrate in both underground and above ground deposits. Nitrate Powder can be found when looting various containers, mining Boulders, and Body Bags . Another source of Nitrate Powder is Stalactites and Stalagmites in underground Caves, which must be mined as well. Nitrate nodes are found in Forest, Burnt Forest, Wasteland and Desert biomes. Nitrate Powder can be used as an ingredient to craft Gun Powder, Antibiotics, Fertilizer, and Herbal Antibiotics.
