This is my first PR and my first time coding in DM so a confirmation that I didn't burn everything down would be great.

About the PR

Relevant previous discussion here: https://forum.ss13.co/showthread.php?tid=18910
This adds a new method for the industrial production of Saltpetre.
This method is non-instant and produces miasma as it occurs. The recipe is:

Code:

(1) Space Fungus + (1) Compost + (1) Potash + (1) Water -> (2) Saltpetre + (2) Water

Previously discussed, a big concern was that this would make it too easy to produce large amounts of Black Powder rapidly. This method is not only time-gated and largely restricted to Botany, it is also somewhat obvious as it produces large amounts of miasma in the process due to the "decomposition" of the compost. It is comparable to buying formula from Cargo in terms of speed.

Why's this needed?

This is discussed more in the linked thread. In essence, large botany crews need a way to obtain large amounts of Saltpetre without grinding Cargo to dust, and using Urine directly is too slow.
