Salted Meat?

[survivor123]

We definitely need the ability to salt meat so it can be eaten on the go. We get salt, we get meat. Combine it in the crafting page, then we need to let it cure for a couple of days. The draw back is it makes your water level go down.

I disagree. One important gameplay aspect is the need to cook; burning matches, wood etc. taking time. This adds little and greatly subtracts from the cooking gameplay. The game should be more challenging not easier.

I feel like this would be pointless right now, given that salt is a limited resource.

It's better to use it in stews or pies that give much more impressive benefits.

This has been suggested in a few threads I believe, and it’s a good idea.  The ability to distill sea water for additional salt would be a welcome companion.

I agree.... As long as we don't have to take a massive risk of a dunking to collect the sea water ..  😁

You could get Salt from holes in the ice like the Fishing Shacks, break open the ice and grab a few bottles without the risk of taking a cold swim.

They added a bikini to the clothing list??  What’s the warmth and wind break rating? 😂😂

That’s the most reasonable and implementable way 👍🏼

I bet there's some in one of those drawers somewhere lol..

I love this idea. Like some people are saying it could unbalance cooking if implemented improperly by making it too easy, but it could be balanced by making salt harder to get than cooking the meat in the first place. IE: the salt to cure a piece of meat takes 2-3 times as much wood to make as the wood to just cook the meat. This makes it harder to get while also adding player-made jerky to put in stash houses for emergencies.
