desalination pellet

A chalky white cap of rice lattice sucks the salt from liquid volumes. The letter 'H' is etched on its face.

Perfect

When a desalination pellet is applied to a container of liquid, or thrown into a pool of liquid on the ground, it removes up to 200 drams of salt, leaving behind the remaining liquid.[1]

ichor merchants and Hortensa always stock several desalination pellets[2][3]; they also rarely appear in generalist merchants' inventories.[4]

Special Liquid Interactions

Missing Info This article has information that is missing or not up to par.

Reason: The "warm static turns into any other pure liquid completely. This includes rare ones like neutron flux." bullet point has changed as of 1.0, testing shows that after being converted by the desalination pellet liquids are instantly subject to the regular glitch effect which has had rare liquids removed, causing only non-rare liquids to be collectable. neutron flux can still be made by the first conversion however, which will still instantly cause gravitational collapse. Check discussion page for testing screenshots.

Certain liquids change into other liquids under the effect of a desalination pellet.[1]

  • As desalination pellets have no weight, they can be carried as a means of cleaning widely-available salty water for trade or consumption as an alternative to carrying freshwater or precious metals.
  • The enterprising player can use a single desalination pellet to turn 1000 drams of brackish water (which typically generates with 20% salt content) into 800 drams of fresh water. This is best achieved by throwing the pellet into an undisturbed pool from an adjacent space, as standing in newly-desalinated water tends to contaminate it with salt from the ground.
  • Generally the only one of the special conversions that will be useful to the player is turning slime into gel, for curing Ironshank or fungal infections.
