1× Sulfur Powder + 12× Charcoal Powder + 150× Limewater → 1× Black Powder in the Advanced Blender, 12 seconds. It is fuel (heat value 6,000) and sells for 660 copper, but its real use is Blast Potion. The recipe is limewater-bound: every unit needs 150 Limewater.

The supply chain, one level up
| Ingredient | Produced by | Bulk ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Sulfur Powder | Pyrite Ore → Sulfur → Sulfur Powder | 1 ore line |
| Charcoal Powder | Logs → Plank → Charcoal → Charcoal Powder | 12 per craft |
| Limewater | Limestone → Stone → Quicklime → Quicklime Powder → Limewater | 5 Quicklime Powder → 150 Limewater |
Five quicklime powder is exactly one craft's worth of limewater, so the Black Powder line is a 5 → 150 → 1 chain. Build the limestone crusher first and the blender last; the reverse order leaves you with a blender that runs once every few minutes.
What Black Powder is for
- Blast Potion — Advanced Blender, 1× Oblivion Essence + 1× Black Powder + 40× Brandy, 6 s. This is the reason to build the line at all.
- Fuel — heat value 6,000, the highest single-item fuel value in the powder family. Coke Powder is 660 per unit, so Black Powder is roughly nine times denser per slot.
Why your line keeps stalling
- Limewater is the wall. 150 units per powder means the quicklime chain must run continuously, not in batches.
- Charcoal Powder is second. 12 per craft, produced 6 at a time from logs. Two charcoal lines per blender is the stable ratio.
- Sulfur is never the problem. One pyrite chain covers many blenders.
Related: Oblivion Essence is the other half of Blast Potion, and Coke Powder covers the fuel comparison.
