Bullets and extracting components?

[arcana75]

I have alot of firearms and bullets but don't use firearms because I can't make more bullets. Is it possible to extract the saltpeter from eg pistol bullets to make shotgun bullets or even IEDs?

u can build bullets starting with an outhouse, mine and so on

no idea if u can turn one type of bullets to something else

Build bullets with an outhouse? Are you talking about the workbench? I can build workbenches but wondering if I could bring bullets to workbenches to strip them down.

Right now you can only extract gunpowder from bullets. But you can make bullets in the forge.

the outhouse give u pee
u can turn that into salpeter(somehow)
and salpeter + coal??? (u can make it in the kiln) = gunpowder i think

well i never made it so ...

i like bows so ...

Wow I didn't know the outhouse collected pee/urine! How does that work?

Actually I'm keen to make IEDs, pipe bombs and molotovs, and like you I prefer bows. So trying to figure out how to make the components that make these weapons.

u or your npcs use the outhouse
than a yellow bar is somewhere
u use a container(bucket might be the best for that job)
and u have pee
and that u turn into salpeter somehow(probably by cooking it)
coal is made in the kiln
and the bullets are made in the workbench

i never made bullets so something might be wrong here

by the way u can drink the pee :)

So I install a pot in the outhouse? I don't have this yellow bar in any of my outhouses. I finally managed to bring bullets to the workbench to extract gunpowder which I used to make pipe bombs :)

your main difficulty is probably people eating up beet and sugar though.

collection of urine seems unlimited, as long as you have containers (e.g. bottles, seal-able boxes). Person assigned to work in the Nitrary to produce saltpeter will automatically collect it.

it just feels a little uncomfortable that your crew don't distinguish between containers used for storing drinking water, stew and pee. If they are empty, they are re-usable. ;P

Yeah I found out that I could fill containers with pee if I equipped a bucket or bottle at the outhouse. Wasn't able to see a recipe at the campfire so I guess it has to be the Nitrary, still building it. If it's Urine->Nitrary->saltpeter->bullets then I'm nearly there!

Accidentally found out (lol it's hinted in the tooltip) that I can cook sunflower seeds at the campfire to make sunflower oil which can be used as the liquid for molotovs!!

firepit
gunpowder=salteper+charcoal+sugar+water
sugar=5 beet + water

kiln
charcoal=wood

nitratery
saltper=urin

urin=outhouse

lead ore = mine

forge
bullets(4 6 8 10 depend on the gun)=charcoal+lead ore+gunpwoder

Thanks Candarian!
