Mastering Salt Production in Oxygen Not Included with the Salt Volcano Mod

Dealing with dwindling salt reserves in your Oxygen Not Included colony can be a truly taxing experience. Fortunately, the Salt Volcano mod offers a flavorful solution to this common predicament. If your beloved Slogos are looking a bit peckish, or if you’re simply seeking a more consistent source of this vital resource, this mod introduces a new geothermal phenomenon to spice up your asteroid.

Introducing the Salt Volcano

This mod injects a brand-new geyser type into your Oxygen Not Included worlds: the Salt Volcano. As its name suggests, this unique geyser periodically erupts, spewing forth valuable salt. Its inclusion adds another layer of strategic depth to your base planning and resource management, offering a fresh challenge and reward for those willing to harness its power.

Key Features and Gameplay Impact

The Salt Volcano mod brings several exciting elements to the game:

  • New Geyser Type: Adds Salt Volcanoes as a randomly occurring geyser on your map.
  • Salt Resource Generation: Provides a sustainable source of salt, crucial for various duplicant needs and industrial processes.
  • Strategic Placement: Managing the heat and output of a Salt Volcano requires careful base design and engineering.
  • Geyser Suite Integration: This mod is part of a larger collection of geyser-themed modifications, offering a cohesive experience for those looking to expand their geothermal options.

Harnessing the Power

Unlike some other geothermal features, the Salt Volcano cannot be “geotuned” with salt itself to create an endless loop. Instead, players will need to utilize Refined Phosphorous to manage and potentially optimize its output. This adds an interesting resource management challenge, as you’ll need to balance the production of both salt and refined materials. The eruption temperature sits at a scorching 1326.85°C, and when active, it boasts a lifetime average output of 720kg per cycle, making it a significant contributor to your colony’s salt supply once properly managed.

It’s important to note that enabling mods that alter world generation, such as the Salt Volcano mod, may affect world seed parity. This means a world generated with this mod enabled might not be identical to one generated on the same seed without it.
