Saltpeter is a resource added by Railcraft obtained from mining Saltpeter Ore, which is usually found in desert like biomes. It can also be obtained by centrifuging Unstable Combs from Extra Bees. It is a major ingredient in the manufacture of Gunpowder and Strengthened Glass, and can also be used in making Fertilizer from the Forestry mod. Additionally it is an alternate crafting ingredient in making Cryotheum Dust (taking the place of Niter in the crafting grid).
