Smokeless Powder is an intermediate explosive material used in several ammunition and Nobelisk recipes. The default recipe runs in a Refinery and combines Black Powder with Heavy Oil Residue. The liquid input is the likely bottleneck: plan a reliable residue supply and pipe it to the machine alongside the solid powder. It is a crafted item, not a deposit resource. Since the recipe produces two powder for each batch, check the batch quantities as well as the continuous rates when planning storage.

How to craft
Unlock the Smokeless Powder recipe and Refinery, then feed 2 Black Powder and 1 m³ Heavy Oil Residue per batch. Each batch yields 2 Smokeless Powder. At 100% clock, the listed rates are 20 Black Powder and 10 m³ Heavy Oil Residue per minute for 20 powder per minute.
Before you craft
Refinery and Smokeless Powder recipe unlocked.
2 Black Powder and 1 m³ Heavy Oil Residue per batch.
Set up a Black Powder supply and route it to the Refinery.
Produce or route Heavy Oil Residue through a connected fluid line.
Select Smokeless Powder and connect both ingredient inputs.
Power the Refinery and confirm both solid and liquid feeds are arriving.
Route output to the relevant ammunition or Nobelisk production line.
Monitor residue delivery and downstream demand as production runs.
Crafting tips
At 100% clock, reserve 10 m³ of Heavy Oil Residue per minute for each Refinery running continuously.
Smokeless Powder feeds Explosive Rebar, Cluster Nobelisk, Rifle Ammo, and Nuke Nobelisk recipes.
Repeat, collect and use
Continue batches while the Refinery has both inputs and the destination needs more powder.
Common mistakes
Searching for Smokeless Powder deposits instead of producing it in a Refinery.
Treating Heavy Oil Residue as a solid input or forgetting to connect the fluid line.
When to stop or switch
Pause production when ammunition stock is sufficient or the residue supply is needed by a more important process.
