In a previous fortress I discovered saltpeter. Is it possible to create gunpowder?

No, not yet.

Does anyone know what was the tags involved in the ignition temperature of the booze in that movie.
Or maybe the burning coal that would not get put out that was mentioned in a General Forum thread.
It would be lots of fun to put this in. I think I've found a way of causing it to ignite as well. Can anyone say exploding barrel trap.

So it's just another form of stone?  And is that the same for the new ones that aren't economical.  The wiki doesn't really clarify things much.

Currently ya. They are useless. Except the colored ones which look interesting. The wiki needs revising.

golden coloured outside buildings FTW!

even if the damn masons need to walk halfway down the engineering tunnel to the magma chute to get it.
