Embark on your terraforming journey in The Planet Crafter by amassing a wide array of resources, some of which can only be synthesized using specific crafting devices.
One crucial ingredient in the game's later stages is Explosive Powder, vital for various upgrades and machinery. Unveiling the recipe for this item involves a series of prerequisites.
Acquiring a Biolab in The Planet Crafter
To create Explosive Powder, you must first construct a Biolab and utilize it for production. Achieving the Biolab requires reaching an 835g Biomass in The Planet Crafter to unlock the blueprint in the Q building menu. The biolab is a sizable structure, expanding your base by four squares. The materials for the Biolab include two Osmium, three Super Alloy, and one Aluminum.
Discover Aluminum abundantly in a cave situated northwest of the starting point, resembling a lava-dripping cavern. The rock maze to the north of the starting area's second level houses ample Super Alloy. Osmium lies within the frozen cave to the west of your initiation point, only thawing at a specific atmospheric level. Once all components are gathered, you can construct this substantial addition to your base.
Manufacturing Explosive Powder in The Planet Crafter
Upon Biolab completion, navigate to the central computer within it and interact with the screen to explore the available creations, including explosive powder represented by a red bag icon. Besides Explosive Powder, the Biolab enables the production of fertilizer and biomass blobs.
A single bag of Explosive Powder necessitates one iridium and two sulfur in The Planet Crafter. Sulfur is located opposite the Osmium cave mentioned earlier, while iridium shares the same location as aluminum. With these components in your inventory, you can create various recipes utilizing Explosive Powder, such as:
- Heater T4
- Heater T5
- Nuclear Reactor T2
- Shredder machine
- DNA Manipulator
- Agility Boots T3
- Jetpack T3
- Drone T2
