Salt flats? What do they do for you?

[Goin’_Commando]

Hello,

It’s odd that most buildings tell you when you hover over their icon exactly what benefit they bring you. But not salt flats. All it says is it makes salt & at level 3 it preserves seafood; but also doesn’t say how that helps you. Oddly I’ve tried finding where people have asked this and haven’t found much other than some Tww blogs saying you should build them. Since it’s that settlement’s unique building I imagine I should too.

Any help much appreciated!

As High Elves, when you research "Trade", it will show up as one of the 2-turn research options for a benefit.

Salt is a trade good, like most other resource buildings. They will get exported automatically with any faction you have a trade agreement and will increase your trade income (though how much of each resource you can export depends on the other factions size).

The "preserved seafood" technology is HE specific, each trade resource building grants you access to a specific technology that further buffs your faction, the techs themselves state what exactly.

In the case of HE it's really just that, nothing else for that building. Some also buff certain units or grant other bonuses but some only grant trade resources and faction specific stuff.

Thanks so much!!

Ugg, my system seemed to lock up when I posted this so I re-posted. I fear it’ll re-post and make it look like I was being *really* demanding for an answer. Pls disregard if it does. (The 2nd post appears locked up on my system to).

Thanks again!

Salt (and every other trade good) works differently for every faction. Most factions get some benefit from it (increased growth from salt I believe) plus generation of trade goods that can be sold. But some factions, mostly the high elves, get no benefit from the resource directly except the trade good itself. But in the case of high elves the lvl 2 or 3 of those buildings unlocks a technology.
