The best place to find saltpetre

Ross · 2020-04-28T02:23:30.326Z

Hey all. I went on vacation to Portia and it seems like ages. I know this is lame but does anyone know a good location for saltpeter? I’m starting to craft some higher-level brews and that’s a main ingredient. I’m running around in caves on Trior and it’s kinda scarce. Thanks!

Gravel farm, I think the one on Bese has given good results in the past.

An old post here about it

Iconic Resource Hub / Waterless Lamella Farm Creations

Our latest farm on Besevrona is the gravel and saltpetre farm. And as always, level 5 drops the same amount as level 6 planets. Source The farm has a 2x3 plot area which contains 1144 gravel blocks (99%). The other blocks are 6 sand blocks and 2 clay, no stones or other annoying things. The gravel farm can be reached through the Iconic Resource Hub. [image]

Some biomes on Alcyon spawn a lot of surface rocks which drop it as well as Olivine Fragment

While its here, that exoworld Oetralor has really good amounts of those surface rocks… (forget what called. The smooth stalagtites…)

Look for the areas that have a mountain with a chunk cut out of the top/middle.

Seen in the background of this pick. Dark flat areas, with mountain overhead. SO MUCH saltpetre in those areas! =D

Used to find boatloads of it on Cardass in the pancake mountains. Plop one in yer atlas and go to town(so to speak).

Crete · 2020-04-28T09:12:35.528Z

Y’know, i did too. But last i was at those pancakes… there wasnt much! I thought i just remembered wrong… but i swear there was saltpetre there… now there isn’t

Of course, i could have just shown up right after someone farmed them all. But i used to LOVE those pancakes for fleshy leaf and saltpetre

Galan is also a really good source.

Kelmat · 2020-04-28T14:16:19.071Z

I find tons of them from the pointy boulders while farming goo or combustion/kindling in caves on exos

Ross · 2020-05-02T03:23:30.868Z

Still hunting for salt peter though I got sidetracked hunting roadies… So checking out Cardass and Galan but the surface boulders so far only drop olivine and sulfur. Also what a good slingbow for the higher tier worlds. Titanium is rinky on cardass or prob my skill sheet.

So any suggs on weapon and skill sets? Thanks.

And I’ve got my atlas equiped.

If I’m not mistaken, those tapered boulders are mostly in caves.

@Ross are you able to go to Alcyon? Needs 4 points in Volitale Protection.

Ross · 2020-05-02T20:17:42.469Z

Yes. Why? I was running around there yesterday.

SilverSunn · 2020-05-02T20:18:54.324Z

If you’re in game now, I can show you a good spot for saltpetre

Ross · 2020-05-02T20:21:59.663Z

Alienfish · 2020-05-04T01:54:05.219Z

I just set up a new gravel farm through the hunt hive on Cardass as well. Very good farming there.
