    I thought for a little bit that I could find a schematic for it, or that it was in the chemical technology discipline, but I can't find it anywhere. I want to make some dynamite, it's my favorite explosive in the entire game, but all I have to make it is saltpeter, because nitroglycerine is NOT showing up anywhere.

    Try Inventor Shops. Theres one in Tarant which generally has some. If it's not there, wait a few days. Also, look at all his inventory. I only occupies one square (though I hope you know what it looks like).

    Thanks for the help. It took a couple of in-game weeks, but I found some. I now have about 600 stones of dynamite.

    Yeah...but, would it be worth it? If it would just sit on a satchel for a while, not being used, the nitroglycerin would seep out ofthe dynamite, and if anyone caused a static spark, or you got too close to a heat source, or you were jumping/running/falling/farting...

    Thats why you get someone else to carry it, then it would be so worth it.

    Hmmm....Yes, watching a "pack-mule" (not actually a mule) explode in a flash of fire accompanied by a fine red mist would definitely be satisfying.
