Can't Find Salt in Below Zero
Salt Deposit is a common white cube-shaped seabed resource in Sector Zero, with several early routes and renewable alternatives. It is not the same as a Flowering Spore or other pale flora.
LAST CHECK
ANSWER LOCK // QUICK RESPONSE
Search the seabed in Twisty Bridges, Purple Vents, Deep Purple Vents, Arctic Kelp Caves, and Sparse Arctic. Salt can also come from Sea Monkeys or a Water Filtration Machine.

02 // DIRECTIONDirectionROUTE GUIDANCE
Look for small white cube-shaped crystals resting on the seabed. Start in Twisty Bridges or Purple Vents before relying on a later Water Filtration Machine.
03 // EXACT ANSWERExact answerFULL SPOILER
Sweep the seabed in Twisty Bridges and Purple Vents for early Salt Deposits. If you are making Hydrochloric Acid, keep one Salt Deposit aside; later sources include Deep Purple Vents, Arctic Kelp Caves, Sparse Arctic, Sea Monkeys, and Water Filtration Machine output.
COMMON REASONS YOU ARE STUCK
- Searching for Salt inside an outcrop
- Confusing Salt Deposit with Flowering Spore
- Using original Subnautica biome assumptions
- Spending the only Salt on cured food when Hydrochloric Acid is the immediate bottleneck
- Building a Water Filtration Machine before checking nearby seabed routes
