Salt mining

[Dondy's]

My miner doesn't mine salt as it was. How can I "automatize" salt mining?

You can watch the video made by Goldi, and how to set up the production.
They are quite similar.

Salt is now only found in caves so the only way to have your workers bring salt is to build a mine on a cave.
The issue is that the mine unlocks very late and salt isn't very useful past the early stage, so if you really want to use salt, your best bet is to go mine salt deposits in a cave yourself (the deposits respawn at each season change so there is plenty to get).

Would be nice to get salt from water, or a rare to find Salt Pit.

Well, in earlier versions of the game the excavation shed was able to get salt because there were salt deposits among the rocks outside, it was changed during the update that added copper and tin, moving them into caves instead.
There was probably a reason for it from the dev's perspective, I just have no idea what that was.

Salt from water would make absolutely no sense given that there is no sea water in that mountain valley.

Re: 1. Having a Salt pit area the size of Clay fields would be outstanding.
2. If it is a Tidal River, Salt is easy to get. However, even mountain streams ove a measure of salt in their content, which is how a lot of Tribal Americans got salt. Other than from the blood of beasts.
