How do I prepare the two powder ingredients?

Use the Grinder to turn 1 Charcoal into 1 Charcoal Powder and 1 Sulfur into 1 Sulfur Powder.

What changed for Black Powder and cauldrons?

Patch v0.5.4467 reworked Black Powder and doubled both its sell price and heat value. The extra Cauldron output multiplier was removed; cauldron recipes are procedural, and recipe adjustments may change outputs from existing Cauldrons in old saves. Early-game cauldron recipes such as Clay and Coke were mostly unaffected.

How can I check alternative cauldron recipes?

Open the Cauldron Calculator and select Black Powder as the output to see possible recipes, or select two or three items to calculate their cauldron recipe.
