      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Making Brine and Salt

2 posts in this topic

I was thinking, with all the sea water around, we should have a process to make brine and (if continued) salt.  Native Americans boiled brine to make salt (according to English records).

 

In other words, there is salt water all over the place and that means salt is available.

 

After all, take sea water and use the sun, causing the H2O to go into the Great Rain Clouds in the sky, and you have brine - which is salty salt water.   :D  Continue the process of evaporation and you get salt.  Of course, you could speed up the process by adding heat.  But it would make available two products players need AND is a process that has been going on since the first man said, "I need something to go with this potato.".  

 

I was thinking of placing salt water in a unsealed container and allowing the sun to do the work.  Of course, if it rains the process would be ruined, or force you to go back to square one.

 

Or some way of designing shallow ponds, or a series of ponds, to help evaporate the water.  But that requires making something new - such as a new block.

Let's try to use what we already have.

Maybe something like

1. Use a wooden bucket to fill a Large Vessel with sea water (NOT a wooden barrel).

2.  Place right next to a fire pit.

3.  Keep fire pit burning for (?) number of hours.

4.  You have brine.

5.  Keep fire pit burning for (?) number of hours more.

6.  You have a small amount of salt.
