Sulfur

Sulfur is an ore that can be obtained from resource nodes but does not currently serve any purpose. Based on its description, it will likely be used in the creation of gunpowder and also possibly explosives, as there seem to be cracked rocks around the world with items behind them.

Obtaining
It can be harvested by hand or by placing a miner on a resource node.

There are currently 11 Sulfur resource nodes in-game; 1 impure, and 10 normal. This means the upper limit of harvest rate is 6.300 Sulfur/min (Mk3 miners, 250% overclock, Mk6 belt).

Trivia

 * Traditional gunpowder is composed of Sulfur, Carbon, and Potassium Nitrate. Because of this, it can be speculated that gunpowder will be created by combining coal and sulfur, along with other possible materials.
