On the current implementation of Urine

[RelentlessGarbage]

Reminder: you can make saltpetre with ammonia

Ammonia is Nitrogen + Hydrogen

Nitrogen is in Beans

Hydrogen is in Hydrogen Melons

Therefore you can make a plant that mass produces ammonia with a bit of work.

This is true. Of note is that Golden Pea Pods also make ammonia as their main product, bypassing the need for a chem dispenser (for the hydrogen) entirely. (That said I'm not familiar with the recipe for Saltpetre using ammonia, I'm not a chemist.)

Additionally, Compost + Potash + Nitrogen (according to the Wiki) will give you saltpetre as well, albeit at a worse ratio of ingredients to product produced compared to Urine. Compost and potash are renewable in botany thanks to paper trees and the compost bins, so long as you have a welder. Huh. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

(But, don't think I don't see your clever deflection of the point at hand; since you are a senior member of this holy forum and have likely seen the ""best"" and worst of this mechanic, what are your thoughts on its current state?)
