I've actually done a ton of experimentation in attempt to find uses for this stuff. I have no idea if anything is outdated. Here's a bunch of quick summaries about experiments I've done with nitroglycerin. I know it's a secret chem and we're not supposed to detail this sorta shit, but god-damn if this chem isn't useless.
EXPLOSION: An explosion of nitroglycerin will gib any person on its tile, create a 1 tile hole to space, and potentially cause additional damage in the region.
CAUSES OF EXPLOSION: Vitrually any action or rapid movement. Walking with run intent will make your explode. Pouring it on the ground will make you explode. Throwing it in virtually any form will cause it to explode on first tile of movement, which is the tile you're standing on, meaning that you explode too. Several units within a blood stream have a random chance of causing explosions, but this is variable and doesn't always happen.
MOST STABLE FORM: Within a pill bottle. You know how when you make a pillsin a chemmaster and you make a weird number of pills, and it creates a pill bottle that you can't directly access, but only remove pills from? This is the most stable form of nitroglycerin. This is the only form that won't instantly explode. Actually, it won't explode under any circumstance. The moment that you remove a pill though, everything stated in CAUSES OF EXPLOSION applies. (For the love of all that's holy, do not throw a pill.)
EDIBLE EXPERIMENTS: Nitroglycerin ice cream CAN be made. Everything stated in CAUSES OF EXPLOSION applies to the ice cream, except that you can now eat it! Taking a bite will cause it to explode. Throwing it will also cause it to explode. Recommended to be served by a barkeep or chef only if you like the bar being devoid of air.
Sadly, cakes cannot be frosted with nitroglycerin. Any attempt to do so will cause the cake to instantly explode. Mixing nitroglycerin ice cream into the cake to create ice cream cake will work, but none of the traits of nitroglycerin will be carried over, meaning that the final cake will cause no explosions.
WEAPONIZATION ATTEMPTS: Most successful method of weaponization by far is combining the stable pill bottle method with a sleepy pen. Simply load your sleepy pen with a nitroglycerin, and stab your victim. There are, however, severe problems with this method. The first is that there's only a chance that your victim will gib. It's completely possible to inject someone with 10 units of nitroglycerin, and then have them be perfectly fine and still walking about 10 minutes later. It's also possible to inject 5 units into someone, and have them instantly explode. The second problem is that it's possible to randomly explode while inserting the nitroglycerin pill into the sleepy pen. It's also assumable that the pen is unstable while containing nitroglycerin, forcing you to walk, though I never tested running with nitro in the pen as I did not want to explode.
You can force-feed nitroglycerin pills to people. This seems to have a much higher success rate than the sleepy pen, and seems to cause instant explosions. Problem is that you have to force feed someone the pill.
A pair of IV drips the form nitroglycerin when mixed are also an effective method of forcing nitroglycerin into someone, with the added advantage of giving you half a second to run away from your target.
I did actually make a flamethrower that used nitroglycerin as fuel before. The results could be described as devastating, with the spray carving neat lines into the ground with explosions while also causing severe brute damage to both victims and the user. Does not gib victims, and kills the user. Do not throw the flamethrower or it will explode. Neat, but useless baring spectacular hostile suicide.
I have no idea if nitroglycerin golems work. I think I tried them before, they do not gib on punch, but I think do explode on death. Or not. I can't remember.
Conclusion: It's... pretty useless. There are functions in disposing of bodies via the pill or IV method, but it's too high of a risk to effectively use for any task.
