Though I assume other fertilizers would be needed.

Q: Why isn't black powder used? It isn't as efficient as modern gunpowder, but it's easy to make and the ingredients are needed for human life.
Future reference, and I'm making this statement that in the event of a simu post, the first question gets prioritized and I will provide the additional answer.

A: black powder for firearms was used briefly, but air and steam compression tech outpaced black powder for firearms in the middle of the 17th century. Black powder is still being used, rarely, for explosive arrows in regards to combat purposes, mainly black powder is used for development purposes.
