Yes, yes, yes... But I want to know, how the chinese did it...!
So imagine, you are on a really lonely island (or somewhere else). Where to get salpeter...? You can't simply go to a rock, which is looking brown and simply extract some sulfur and especially no salpeter, do you know what I mean...?
If you have luck, you find a vulcan with a pit beside it (is it correct in english...? - google suggested this translation....), where you find some gas reaching the surface. Try to imagine in someone like Robinson Crusoe...
(I want to make the possibility to create a explosively barrel. Therefore you just need some planks - which I have already modelled - and some gunpowder to put in.)
And... may I ask you, if these combinations are (halfway!) correct...?
(That's why I asked you, if you have some knowledge in chemestry - I'm good in mathematics and physics - but unfortunately in chemestry)

Hit brown rocks with a pickaxe. Note that if you've got some serious chemistry skills you'd realize that with all the new materials I've added its also possible to make Nitrogylcerin and TNT.

-Nitric Acid = Saltpeter + Sulfuric Acid
-Sulfuric Acid = Saltpeter + Sulfur
-Nitroglycerin = Nitric Acid + Glycerin
-Glycerin = Sodium Hydroxide + Animal Fat
-Sulfuric Acid = Saltpeter + Sulfur
-Nitroglycerin = Nitric Acid + Glycerin
-Glycerin = Sodium Hydroxide + Animal Fat

They are correct within reason. If you wanted to get specific, no, they are not correct. But that is only because in reality you would need beakers, fires, distillation equipment, ect, and a bunch of other very precise scientific equipment that you could not produce on an island. However, for the most part the items required are correct. You really can make Nitroglycerin from Nitric Acid and Glycerin, that is how it's made. And Glycerin is made from Sodium Hydroxide and Fat. You can look it up if you want.
The ability to make an explosive barrel is already in my mod. A step ahead of you, eh? New update coming in a few minutes.
