Salt Water is a source of Water and Salt. It is naturally obtainable in Tide Pool Biome.

Usage

• The Desalinator can seperate Salt Water into Water (93% mass) and Salt (7% mass). Boiling Salt Water by heating it to 102.69 °C (vaporization point + 3 °C) will yield the same conversion rate with Steam (93% mass) and Salt (7% mass).
• Salt Water can also be used to create Brine via freezing by cooling it down to -10.5 °C (turning point - 3 °C). The Salt Water will turn into Ice (77% mass) and Brine (23% mass).
• Waterweed domestic growth requires 5 kg/cycle Salt Water irrigation.

Production

Salt Water is naturally obtainable in abundance in Tide Pool Biome.

Salt Water Geyser periodically produces Salt Water. One uncovered Salt Water Geyser can be found in Tide Pool Biome.

It can be harvested on rocket missions to renewable Space POIs:

• In Salty Asteroid Fields at a rate of 270 – 810 kg per cycle.
• In Interstellar Oceans at a rate of 37.5 – 125 kg per cycle.
