Can't Find Salt in Subnautica

Salt Deposits are small white cubes on the seabed, not a special plant or fragment. Start with the Kelp Forest and Grassy Plateaus before moving to later biomes.

LAST CHECK

ANSWER LOCK // QUICK RESPONSE

Look for the small white cube-shaped Salt Deposits on the seabed in the Kelp Forest and Grassy Plateaus. Later sources include the Mountain Island, Crash Zone, Mushroom Forest, and Bulb Zone; a powered Water Filtration Machine can also produce salt as a byproduct.

Scan the seabed for small white cube-like crystals. Salt is a loose raw material, so check open floor around rocks instead of searching inside outcrops.

03 // EXACT ANSWERExact answerFULL SPOILER
ACCESS LOCKED // OPEN TO REVEAL

Start along the Kelp Forest and Grassy Plateaus seabed near the starting route. If the early supply is not enough, the official resource list also includes the Mountain Island and later biomes; a powered Water Filtration Machine provides a renewable byproduct.

COMMON REASONS YOU ARE STUCK

  • Searching only inside Limestone Outcrops
  • Confusing Salt Deposit with Crystalline Sulfur
  • Skipping the open seabed around the Kelp Forest
  • Building a Water Filtration Machine before the early supply is needed
