Description[edit | edit source]
Nitrate Powder is a resource that can be acquired by mining Potassium Nitrate and by looting various containers or Zombies. It can be found in both underground and above ground deposits, and mining Boulders can also give Nitrate Powder. Another source of Nitrate Powder is Stalactites and Stalagmites in underground Caves, which must be mined as well. Nitrate nodes are found in Burnt Forest, Wasteland and Desert biomes.
