Re-usable Salt

[Grinnygog]

I have had the issue many times where I've placed salt with the aim of getting a photo of a ghost footprint (either UV or just disturbed salt), only for the ghost to change rooms. And because I've used up all of my salt I am then unable to place salt in the new ghost room and so can't get the evidence that might give me a perfect investigation bonus. I rely quite heavily on disturbed salt photos to achieve this.
So I would like to see a new feature where any salt on the floor that hasn't been stepped in by the ghost can be scooped back into its container so that it can be re-used. This would be so good and very welcome.

Sounds like unlucky rng after which ill go for interactions collection and/or just accept that i f'ed up.
As for UV, if you used all of your salt you're left with 2 options: Hope that the ghost touches something that it can leave UV on like door, keyboard, light switch, window etc or try to eliminate remaining evidences.
For me, salt is already op since it gives me a lot of perfect games, reusable salt will be even worse especially when you get 9 piles on and after Tier 2 salt.

TLDR: you gonna have to learn to adapt to certain scenarios

(If you're desperate, you can try make the ghost walk through salt during the hunt)

Kinda defeats the purpose of it being consumable

Sounds like you have a bad habit of placing ALL your salt in one place, and also poor placement of said salt. Always reserve some, always put some in the doorway out of the room, and always make sure the ghost is still there in the room when you place it by using motion sensors.

You don't need to place 9 salts (or 6 for T1) in the ghost room. 1 on the door frame is usually enough to have it step into the salt on a hunt or when leaving the room, maybe a second within the room.

What you can also do is to keep salt in your item, until you see a ghost event and then place it at the ghosts position.

And lastly you can also place a salt at a position where you can loop the ghost, (maybe place a UV stick next to it if you want to check that as well) and then loop it until it steps over it at least once. You can even wait in the room with the salt, lure the ghost there and then use a smudge stick to escape

Now if you only need it for photos, it's best to place it in a way, that it also could trip it even after changing the room (looping spots again for example). You can also place 1 container first, wait until it steps into at least one of it for an UV check and then put the rest on a single pile.
