Abbrev­iation	S

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

 Sulfur is added to the Resource Scanner via the Sulfur Research chain in the MAM using:

10

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. Additonally, Lizard Doggos will ocassionally bring it when tamed.

Number of Sulfur resource nodes is as follows:

Node purity	Number of nodes	Mk.3 mining rate	Mk.3 mining rate at 250 %
Impure	1	120	300
Normal	7	1,680	4,200
Pure	3	1,440	2,340* / 3,600
Total	11	3,240	6,840* / 8,100

^*Note: The extraction rate of a Miner Mk.3 at 250 % is 1,200/min, but a Mk.5 Conveyor can only carry 780/min, therefore the maximum mined amount cannot be transported.

Extraction energy

It takes about 10.84 MJ to extract 1 Sulfur. Further reading: Extraction energy

AWESOME Sink

 Sulfur can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink to yield 11 points.

Trivia

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