Sulfur
Sulfur is a rare mid-game resource found in the world. It is used for Black Powder, Compacted Coal and some late-game parts.
Obtaining
Unlocking
Additionally, its resource scanner is unlocked in the Tier 7 milestone Aeronautical Engineering.
Resource acquisition
Sulfur can be harvested by hand (default E) in trace amounts from resource deposits scattered across the world, or from inexhaustible resource nodes on which Miners can be constructed to extract automatically.

Converting SAM to Sulfur
Sulfur can be created from SAM in vast quantities by using a closed loop of Converters. In fact, the total Sulfur that can be created from a single pure SAM node is over half the total output of every Sulfur node in the world combined at 250%. By converting Sulfur to Limestone to Iron Ore to Coal to Sulfur with Somersloops at each step, the net gain is 39.3333 SAM to 364 Sulfur. One pure SAM node at 250% produces 1200 SAM/min, which, with Somersloops in the Reanimated SAM constructors converts to 5,552 Sulfur/min. If the Reanimated SAM constructors are not slooped as well, the output will be 2,776 Sulfur/min, still over twice as much as a pure Sulfur node at 250%.

Trivia
- Traditional gunpowder is composed of sulfur, carbon, and saltpeter (potassium nitrate). Therefore, Black Powder is created by combining Coal and Sulfur.
