The chem recipe it's involved in is saltpetre, which botany has at round start and QM can order more. I believe nitro was removed in part because of ease of making in a hole, and having more need for folks to leave for high explosives and haggle with botany/QM is good. The pyrotechnic chems can still be made in the hole so the loss is mostly in the instant gibbing. Otherwise, I think it can be replaced with ammonium nitrate or something? It's a chemical we synthesize in the modern era.
