Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.20.3, outdated):
PowderManufacturing_v0.0.3.zip 1-click install
Requires: A Culinary Artillery!
This mod isn't complete, but it's a simple mod so there shouldn't be too many bugs!
In short, this is meant to add another process to making blasting powder. This can then be processed from other mods like Maltiez Firearms. It adds more efficient methods of producing powder through A Culinary Artillery with the Mixing Bowl.
Please note, this mod might seem overpowered, if that is the case please leave a comment and I will tweak the recipes accordingly!
Recipes! (I will eventually add handbook recipes)
2x Green Mix in a mixing bowl (from ACA):
1 Saltpeter
1 Sulfur Powder
1 Powdered Charcoal
Mill in a grindstone Once for Lightly Milled Powder, mill Twice for Heavily Milled Powder.
Mix (in a mixing bowl) Heavily Milled Powder with Water to get Wet Millpowder (Wet millpowder will dry out after some time and turn back into Heavily Milled Powder)
Run Wet Millpowder through a pulverizer and let the Wet Powder Puck dry for 2-4 days
Run the Dry Powder Puck through the pulverizer again to get 5x Blasting Powder per puck

Initial Release: | |||||||
Everything 'seems' to be working in 1.22.3, apart from the powders having error shapes and textures.
"shape": {
"base": "game:item/resource/crushed/blastingpowder"
},
should be changed to
"shape": {
"base": "game:item/resource/crushed/normal"
},
and textures also need fixed.
Got textures fixed too, at least on my end. Using wettedmillpowder as an example:
"textures": {
"blastingpowder": { "base": "item/wettedmillpowder" }
},
changed to
"texture": { "base": "item/wettedmillpowder"
},
Made a fork of this, since I kept digging in it and just... fixed it myself for our server. Made some simple descriptions too. Feel free to use it to fix the original:

Appreciate, you're welcome to keep it up as your own. Powder Manufacturing was my first mod, and if I fix it, it'll be completely different and significantly better built. If it's just some simple recipe tweaks absolutely feel free to keep it up as your own!
Finnicus Huge, thank you man! They're in their beta so I hadn't planned on fixing anything in particular but it Should all hopefully work without issue. Let me know if there is any, it's all JSON stuff so fixes are quick and easy relative to something like IOG. 😄
I ended up having to update to 1.21.4 to accomadate a large modlist but it seems to be working peachy. I will be using this mod for my new survival save so you may rely on me to inform you if there is any issue.
Now that A Culinary Artillery and Expanded Foods have been updated I will test it for 1.21.1. I will keep you posted hb.
ScorpioShard EF/ACA is currently not up to date for 1.21 so I don't think this will work. It'll work fine on 1.20 I believe, but it's been a good while since I've tested it.
Has anyone tested if this still works, or needs an update?
New update:
Fixed powder names for creating greenmix
Updated to current game version. Should be fully functional.

Appreciate it, I did install it on my server but don't actually posess the resources to make it at the moment, I should have a fix up shortly.
RosstheGreat the internal item names for powdered sulfur and charcoal are different from the ones in the green mix recipe, making the recipe uncraftable.
Changing the item names to game:powder-sulfur and game:powder-charcoal fixes this.
Everything after that recipe step seems to work.
Microminty I've yet to test it but it should work in 1.20. I'll be readding it to my server since ACA/EF got updated, I kind of forgot about it. Worst case I'll have it updated in the next week or two!
Will this ever be getting an update to 1.20? Or is it dead in the water? RosstheGreat
Oh shoot! You're totally right. I must have misclicked which folder I was packaging. Will be fixed shortly.
FYI your zip file is packaged wrong. You need to zip your assets/modinfo.json, not the folder containing them.
Poompers I've not figured out how to do configs for that stuff yet, and it'll probably be a while until I do. 😅
I'm happy to hear feedback on the recipe input/outputs though! This was my first mod so I went pretty simple with just some recipe and item additions. Originally it was supposed to use the fruitpress to make the pucks, but unfortunately there's some sort of issue with the fruitpress not accepting non-fruit items and it caused some crashes so sadly I had to drop that.
Love the concept of trading time for a more worthwhile recipe, are there config files to change the ammount you end up getting from the pucks in case we'd like to tweak it?
No it does not disable the other recipe. I can look into doing a config for that, It'll probably be a little while before I get to it though.
I had decided against overwriting the old recipe just because some people on the server I play with said it might be a good idea to keep it. My recipe tree really just makes the gunpowder crafting long and arduous and gives a pretty significant boost over the vanilla one. I think it's 1 Saltpeter to 10 blasting powder as opposed to 5 to 8 from vanilla.
It's kind of intended to make the one or two saltpeter drops from the Eldritch Creatures mod (the flying bombs) to make them usable in a shorter period of time for our firearms in the server, honestly. But! Again, I'm happy to change some stuff around and modify the mod to make it more usable by everyone :)
I have just downloaded the mod. I haven't tested it yet but, does it disable the other crafting recipes for black powder? If not I would love a config option to do that. I'll keep you posted on the mod once I've had a chance to test it.
