Mixing Table recipe

  1. Slot 1: Gun Powder×10
  2. Slot 2: Metal Fragments×5
  3. Slot 3: Metal Fragments×5
  4. Slot 4: Sulfur×5

3s per batch, yields 2, Blueprint needed

Also mixes on Cooking Workbench

The order is part of the recipe. The table checks slot 1 against the first ingredient, slot 2 against the second, and so on, and stops at the first empty slot: the same ingredients in another order make nothing.

Put more of the same in every slot to mix several batches in one go. Each extra batch adds 3s.

The table only starts this mix if you have learned the Incendiary 5.56 Rifle Ammo blueprint.
