Explosives

Explosives are made using 50 Gunpowder, 10 Aluminum Powder and 2 of either Set's, Osiris's or Thoth's compound extract.
Explosives are made in an upgraded chemistry lab. It does not need to have a macerator or an alcohol lamp, but it needs to have all glassware installed. It is recommended to make some q1 glassware to use for making explosives.
It is a good idea to build a separate compound for an explosives chemistry lab. While a player tries to create explosives, mishaps will happen, causing damage to the lab and the surrounding area. It is a good idea to have a high structure repair skill when trying to make explosives. Unsuccessfully repairing a building starts a 60 seconds timer.
Making explosives starts a constitution timer. (82 seconds at con 3)

Explosives handling

The first time a player tries to make some volatile explosives in a chemistry lab, he or she gets the explosives handling skill.
"Volatile explosives" can be made by anyone.
"Low explosives" requires explosives handling 3 to make.
"High explosives" requires explosives handling 5 to make.

At handling 1 and 2, 1 volatile explosive is made on success.
At handling 3, 2 volatile explosives are made on success.
At handling 4, 2 low explosives on success.
At handling 5, 2 high or 2 explosives can be made on success.
