Drinking salt will increase thirst by -100,000 for each dram of salt consumed. For example. if one dram of brackish [[water]] is consumed which is 50/50 each salt and water, it will replenish 5,000 thirst (from 0.5 drams water) and lose -50,000 thirst (from 0.5 drams salt). Because of this, salt water will not satiate thirst and is worthless in trade. If the drinker consumed it with their mouth, which means they did not take [[Amphibious]], they will get the message "Blech, it's salty!".

==Cooking with Salt==
{{Main|Cooking Effects#Tasty Bonus}}
Salt ''can'' be used as cooking ingredient while dilluted with water (as long as salt is the largest component of the mix), making it readily available just about anywhere. However cooking by recipes (including ones invented with [[Carbide Chef]] skill) will always require pure salt, even if original dish was made with dillute version.


Salt has a unique property in that it will only provide the effect when cooking with a campfire. Actually cooking with salt only forces the meal cooked to become tasty, which provides random minor bonuses to a stat. Because of this, Randomly generated [[oven]] recipes that use salt will not grant the tasty bonus, and only return the message "Mmmm."

The ground's primary liquid is considered salt, so all liquids that are poured on an empty tile becomes mixed with salt as well. It has no worth, because of how commonly it can be found. If salt is in a liquid, it will be salty or brackish.

  • Rivers of salt can be found in the salt dunes.
  • salt weeps and giant salt weeps, which can be found in fungal biomes, the Rainbow Wood, historic sites, or occasionally in other locations.
  • The alchemist is guaranteed to have one dram of salt available for purchase.
  • If you want salt for non-recipe cooking, a dilute variant may be used. This can be made by scooping some salty water from a nearby pool, pouring it on the ground, and then gathering it back up.

Uses of Salt

Consuming Salt

When consumed, unless they have Amphibious (D), it will return the following message:

Blech, it's salty!

Drinking salt will increase thirst by -100,000 for each dram of salt consumed. For example, if one dram of brackish water is consumed which is 50/50 each salt and water, it will replenish 5,000 thirst (from 0.5 drams water) and lose -50,000 thirst (from 0.5 drams salt). Because of this, salt water will not satiate thirst and is worthless in trade.
