The Matchlock Musket

Description
This mod adds the Matchlock musket, one of the first handheld black powder powered weapons.
First used in the late Medieval era (Yes, it IS allowed in Medieval engineers !)

After getting the gunsmithing research you can craft your Musket (and ammo) in the smithy.
Making the black powder will not be easy.
Sulfur is found in stone and iron ore and crushed in the millstone. Charcoal is made by burning a log in the furnace.
The hardest and most required material is Saltpeter. This is not found naturaly in the Medieval engineers biome.
It must be extracted from the soil in the Extraction Vat (crafted in the workbench). This is a slow process but can be upscaled easily.

The matchlock musket is very powerfull, and a unique feature allows you to reload the weapon and keep it loaded for later use. (unlike the crossbow) The main disadvantage is the long reload time. But a much faster and very deadly projectile makes up for this.

The required mod should be added automatically. Not sure how you managed to not have it

Forgive my hastiness but this mod does in FACT work with the Community Edition. My wife added this mod without adding the required 'black powder materials' mod. The fault is mine for not checking up on her.

I've tried to extract every ore in the game with the sulfur extractor hammer tool in the stone crusher (even gold and silver) and nothing happens, I get no action, sound effect or...sulfur.
The mod does not work with the new Community Edition update 4-07-22.

To be more specific, I see there is a "sulfur ore" icon but where can I find this "sulfur ore"? Does sulfur ore mined in the same fashion as the vanilla ore? Is it found the same way (in veins) the same way as the other ores? I made sulfur extractor toolhead and tried to use that on the ores, ore dust, large and small stones. I might be over-thinking this and not catching one simple step missing it over and over.

What is the source of the sulfur? I though I recall using this mod in 2018 and I seem to recall the source of sulfur was copper ore. Where would I find Sulfur ore?

You get it in the ore crusher from crushing ore with sulfur toolhead

Is this now broken for the Community Edition? I ask because I can't for the life of me figure out how to make or get my hands on sulfur.
