New Resource Salt

[Gagalten]

so its simple enough. salt as a mineable resource. it could be used to dry meat for longer spoil timer while out running around but not as good as jerky. maybe it drains some of your water(not too much). maybe it could be used to help trap/tame/kill snails.

i was thinkin about the same thing earlier today. maybe when u click on hold it the meat lights up green and when u apply it to the meat it adds like 10 mins or something

yea it doesnt have to be like real salted meat that last a long time but something to help make that run back to my campfire a smidgen less frantic. Thanks for reading my post @Bumese Herbs

Those topics come up at least once a day. Atm oil is only a placeholder for for a few things (jerky as example), so be sure salt will come sooner or later. :)

salt is already in game but im pretty sure you can only find it on pvp servers just raid someones base a watch the salt pour in from all around you

I'd love to see salt bins. Mining salt rocks would be a good way to get salt.

It would also be nice if jerky was made with raw meat instead of cooked-- if you cook it, it won't jerk properly IRL. Always gotta use raw.

I play on single player and I am using the new ini tweak GlobalSpoilingTimeMultiplier and
also using the Mod (StateraVis)< The modder added salt into the mod but it is for cooking
only.

I would rather have salt added into the game and use it to increase the spoil time, and at the
same time avoid using the spoil timer tweak because it changes all timers from Raw
meats to berries.
I do want to be able to let some meat spoil so I can make some Narcotics, so with the
tweak set to make items last days is a bad thing for me.

But your idea to use Salt for spoil timers would be way better than the ini tweak, unless they let us set the spoiled time to meat and berries iindividually.

Salt should incrsase the spoil time by hours at the least, and days if you use extra salt on the meat.

I really hope the Dev's add this to Ark one day.

I am so happy to see the feedback here guys. I have tweaked a few things in the server settings for my small group of friends, but i would definately rather use dynamic game mechanics versus a few lines of "cheaty" code. Keep an eye out for more """"original"""" ideas from me. hahah original... HAAHAHA
