V2.0buffedRebalanced ore nodes per biome. Forest = High mix/Low volume of all ores minus Oil Shale, Burnt = Coal, Desert = Oil Shale, Snow = Lead, Wasteland = Iron. Potassium Nitrate is mixed in all biomes with

Alpha 16 Experimental (B105)changedSurface potassium nitrate in the snow biome is now replaced with oil shale and coal.

Alpha 13changedChanged: All blocks that dropped potassium to drop potassium nitrate powder

Alpha 13changedChanged: Coal and potassium nitrate now drop coal lumps and nitrate powder directly when mined

Alpha 13changedChanged: Potassium nitrate to coal material so it mines easier

Alpha 13addedAdded: Potassium nitrate formations to the world

Alpha 12changedChanged improved the Coal and Potassium nitrate texture textures and there tiling

Alpha 11changedChanged potassium Nitrate ore only gives you 5 Potassium Nitrate Powder instead of 10

Alpha 10changedChanged resource rocks no longer drop coal or potassium nitrate powder

Alpha 10addedAdded gravel to mining and added stability to coal and potassium nitrate

Alpha 9.2changedChanged stone and potassium nitrate textures

Alpha 9changedChanged resources underground so there are only 3 minerals per layer. There is stone and iron ore in every layer. The third mineral changes every twenty layers down starting with coal, then potassium

Alpha 8.7changedChanged distribution of “low probability” ores like lead and potassium nitrate to occur more often in the ground

Alpha 8.2buffedChanged increased stack limit on coal and potassium nitrate to 250

Alpha 7.8changedChanged Iron ore no longer drops coal, lead or potassium nitrate ore

Alpha 7.8addedAdded tungsten, coal, lead, potassium nitrate ore back under the ground

Alpha 7.6fixedFixed name on potassium nitrate powder

Alpha 7changedChanged Removed Potassium Nitrate, Coal Ore and Lead Ore from the world, instead it is found randomly when Iron Ore is destroyed

Alpha 6changedChanged recipe so you get more gunpowder from coal and potassium nitrate

Alpha 1changedPotassium Nitrate
