Drastically Reduce Salt Weight
Posted: Mon Mar 09, 2015 2:07 am
The firewood update makes playing a survivalist more feasible, however the weight of salt chunks makes it impractical for low to medium strength characters.
With salt at its current weight, the large meat based Travel Provision comes out with a salt content of 25%. The small meat based Travel Provision comes out at 220% salt. (Yeah, I know, some of it can be chucked)
If salt chunks were reduced to 0.3lbs like other small minerals, it would be easier for a survivalist to carry a supply of salt for regular use, and would put Travel Provisions closer to a salt content appropriate to the most likely preservation methods, such as curing, drying, and smoking.
tl;dr: Reduce Salt chunk weight to 0.3lbs.
