The quality calculation for salt includes 30% for electricity quality and 0% for water quality. I'm presuming these are backwards?

May look awful, but it's absolutely intentional until I figure out a "nicer" way to do it :-)

Reason being I don't want high quality salt to appear too easily.
With sugar, quality depends on sugar cane.
With other mineral, there is a high research fee (you can think of it as "land usage fee/tax")
With salt... high "land usage fee/tax" apparently doesn't make sense, so I have to find some way to disrupt the 100% tech -> 100% quality transfer.

Here is a proposal.

Tier 1: Halite (AKA Rock Salt)
Category: Mineral
Research: Prospectors
Can be Exported: Yes
Can be Imported: No
Sold in Store: No
Quality: 100% Research (along the line of other minerals)

Tier 2: Table Salt
Category: Condiment
Research: Food
Can be Exported: No
Can be Imported: Yes
Sold in Store: Supermarket, ?Farmer's Market?
Quality: 60% Halite, 40% Research (along the lines of other mineral to product)

Thoughts?

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually thought about halite before.

The reason I did what I did is because, as lame as this may sound, I don't know which factory to put salt into.

I'd like to offer 1mil Q50 salt to anyone who can solve this issue.

I realized I forgot that bit in my previous post I was thinging Halite in mine and table salt in food processing. Makes the most sence as you are processing the halite for use as a food.

Since obviously there's no opposition to the new ideas, I guess it's decided - Halite it is.

Rewards given:
1mil Q50 Salt to Walter
1mil Q50 Halite to Zxektok
