This article is about an older version of DF.

Saltpeter is a non-economic yellow stone found within sedimentary layers.
Saltpeter is also the most lightweight stone besides raw adamantine, so it's preferable for making crafts and absolutely inappropriate for stone-fall traps and catapults.

This article or section has been rated D for Dwarf. It may include witty humour, not-so-witty humour, bad humour, in-jokes, pop culture references, and references to the Bay12 forums. Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable.

In real life, it is used in conjunction with charcoal and sulfur in order to make gunpowder.
It is rumored that if a Dwarf ever discovers this, Dwarven "Civilization" would come to an explosive, but Fun end.
