Raw materials
Renewable Salt from Water Filtration
Use a powered Water Filtration Machine to supply renewable Salt alongside base drinking water.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Renewable Salt from Water Filtration
Inside a Seabase room built with the Habitat Builder; a Multipurpose Room or Large Room supports the machine.
Before you go
- Blueprint access for Water Filtration Machine and a compatible Seabase interior.
- Habitat Builder and the machine’s required crafting materials.
- Reliable base power and enough hull integrity for the added module.
- Storage or recipe use for Salt and Large Filtered Water.
Farming steps
- Check your base power reserve and hull integrity before choosing an interior wall for the machine.
- Build the Water Filtration Machine inside a compatible habitat room using the Habitat Builder.
- Confirm the base has power and allow the machine to desalinate seawater.
- Open the machine and collect Salt from its Salt storage slots when available.
- Collect Large Filtered Water separately if needed; taking one output does not require taking the other.
- Use Salt to cure food or combine it with Coral Tube Samples to make Bleach for Disinfected Water.
- Check the machine’s output inventory and remove products before all slots fill.
- If power becomes strained, pause reliance on the machine and restore the base’s energy supply.
- Salt production is linked to powered desalination, so it can supplement seabed collection once the base has the machine.
- The machine stops when its output inventory fills; clear the outputs to resume production.
Repeat, collect and use
Keep the powered machine operating and periodically collect Salt and water. Its Salt output is renewable while the machine runs; the rate depends on operation and should not be treated as instant.
Common mistakes
- Building without enough power: the machine has a substantial continuing energy demand.
- Ignoring a full output inventory: remove products so processing can continue.
- Collecting salt by searching the seabed when a powered base already produces it: use the machine output for a steady reserve.
When to stop or switch
Stop adding filtration capacity when your stored Salt and water cover current needs or when base power becomes the limiting factor.
