Salt (Bag)

DLC-Exclusive content.

This content requires the Tales from the Far Territory addon to be installed before it can be seen or used in regular gameplay.

For the smaller Salt jars, see Salt.

Salt is a seasoning and preservative in The Long Dark.

Usage[]

Salt is used as an ingredient in numerous cooking recipes. Most recipes that uses Salt tend to need 0.01 kg of Salt, meaning one Bag of Salt can be used in 1000 recipes. However, they are far more useful for creating a Meat Curing Box, which is a survivor-made Decoration.

8.00kg of Salt is required to construct a Meat Curing Box, which can be used to turn raw meat into jerky to make the meat last for much longer. Curing Meat will slowly deplete a Meat Curing Box's store of Salt over time, which must be replenished for continued use.

Salt is one of the few items that is not affected by Decay.

Acquisition[]

Smaller jars of Salt (0.25kg) can be found as loot usually in kitchens or food-related areas, while large bags of salt (10.00kg) can be usually acquired from The Trader as they rarely can be found in the world.

Salt Deposits can be found on coastal rock formations (e.g. outdoors on Jackrabbit Island, or inside Abandoned Mine No. 3) and harvested by hand. Each Salt Deposit yields multiple units (0.25kg) units of salt, with multiple deposits appearing in groups.
