La Halite, ou sel gemme, est un minéral qui se trouve dans des gisements spécifiques. La halite est la seule source actuelle de sel dans Vintage Story.

Roche de halite et sylvine dans la halite.

A simple diagram of how halite spawns in sedimentary layers. The top of the dome will stick out above the bottommost sedimentary layer, so it can be most readily found via horizontal mining

Minage

La pierre de halite ne se trouve que dans les couches sédimentaires. La halite se forme soit comme un dôme de sel, soit comme un lac asséché. Les formations de halite de lac asséché ne peuvent apparaître que dans un biome désertique dans des couches de roches sédimentaires. Les pierres de halite peuvent être obtenues en cassant des pierres de halite de surface, en extrayant des roches de halite ou en brisant des spéléothèmes de halite. La sylvine , le minerai de potasse, se trouve à l'intérieur des couches de halite.

Mining Sedimentary Rock Layers

You can use the prospecting pick to find Halite the same way you can find metal ore. See Mining or the Guide:Prospecting for more information.

If you are in an area with at least one sedimentary layer (except bauxite ) use the main Prospecting Pick mode (Density Mode, being the only one that shows halite readings). If you find any halite readings, it might be an area prone to spawn a halite deposit known as a "Salt Dome". Find the area with the best readings and around, and go caving or making vertical tunnels until you are in the bottommost sedimentary rock layer, or in the first rock layer that's not sedimentary. Then, go making horizontal tunnels in that level, following the rock type you're in. Once you find a pink rock, that's it, eureka!

A salt dome starts at the sedimentary layer and goes down to mantle level. It has so much salt that you might share it with other people and never run out, if in Multiplayer. In Singleplayer, once you find it, you won't need to search for a second time.

Sedimentary rocks that might have domes: chalk, chert, claystone, conglomerate, limestone, sandstone and shale. Halite doesn't spawn in bauxite layers, but check below bauxite rock layers to be sure there isn't other sedimentary rocks.

In Deserts

Deserts have an average temperature between 15°C and 40°C and "Rarely" or "Very Rare" rainfall.

They also frequently have cow skulls, hyenas or cactuses. Look below the dirt/gravel/sand; it is few layers of halite like 2 or 3 blocks below the dirt/gravel/sand, at most. The deposit might provide you several stacks, but it might run out pretty quickly. This is what is called a "Dry lake salt bed".

You won't have propick readings to guide you; spawning is random in deserts only.

Sel

La halite broyée dans une meule donnera du sel. Un morceau de halite crée deux portions de sel.

Le sel est utilisé pour la préservation des aliments . Il peut prolonger la durée de vie des viandes grâce au salage ou des légumes grâce au marinage. Les deux méthodes de conservation nécessitent un tonneau .
La fabrication de fromages nécessite également du sel.
