So I was thinking how hard it is to get gunpowder with Mustercull making creepers exceptionally hard to come by. My idea is for a sort of Dust Extraction Factory where you could put in various items and get "dust" items back, like gunpowder, glowstone, redstone, and even sugar if you really wanted.

The input materials could even be ore blocks like an ore smelter, since using something like gravel and dirt would make gunpowder waaaaay too easy to acquire. Now you choose whether to use your 96 iron ore blocks in the ore smelter and get iron back or get a stack of gunpowder back, let's say. I know the Fancy Ore Smelter already has an option to get redstone back form redstone blocks, but maybe the Dust Extractor could extract redstone dust from coal ore blocks? And then finally gold ore blocks could be used to get glowstone dust? And then sugar would just be sugar cane since I don't think there is a recipe yet in Factory Mod to increase sugar production from sugar cane.

Gunpowder is awesome for fireworks which I'd really like to see more of on this server, it's no secret that Civcraft doesn't exactly pander to pleasure seekers or leisure activities, despite the fact that most of human life is devoted to leisure.

Just an idea, what do you think?
