Salt is a resource in Once Human that used for a variety of cooking recipes for dishes that grant all manner of useful buffs and benefits, other than, of course, sating hunger. In the early game, salt is used to dry meat, which is subject to spoiling like most other foods, making it useful as a source of food when out exploring and loot. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to get salt in Once Human.

How to get salt in Once Human
To get salt in Once Human, you need collect seawater and boil it. Here’s how it’s done:
- Go to the coastline in Dayton Wetlands and collect seawater.
- Return to your base or nearest stove and click on the salt option in the food category.
- Start boiling the seawater to get salt.
You can go to the far east coastline or the southern coastline in Dayton Wetlands to get seawater. There are a few teleportation towers around the map that you can go and grab while you’re in the area, too. The best place to get seawater is by Coastline Plaza in the Dayton Wetlands. There’s a teleportation tower right next to the coast, offering extremely fast access to the sea if you’ve built your base in a remote area. Get as much seawater as you need then easily teleport back to your base. Once you’re at the base, go to your stove and select the food menu. From there, select salt. It costs x1 seawater and x3 logs to make salt and takes 5 seconds to complete.
Salt is important for a few reasons. The main reason is the food recipe, Preserved Deviate Chops. This meal grants you 50% more Acid per deviant kill. You need salt, peppercorn, and meat to make it. Of course, this makes it amazing for farming Acid. It’s one of the reasons why you want to keep a stockpile of salt on you for end-game food recipes.
