As of now salt water is useless, so devs add more to it

As of now salt water has no use, can't boil it, can't use it for anything else besides ant paste and that's it. Devs should let players boil their salt water to get small amount of salt (soemthing like ash, 0.01kg salt powder) and water (I guess half of the salt watter amount so from 1kg salt water to 0.50kg water) to be able to drink it or use it for other recipies. Also it takes so much mass, okay for fishing, but not so great as a liquid, as it can't used anywhere else.

Salt no, that mechanic works well enough and I don't think this would be a good change to it. Seasalt maybe? Make it a food additive like black pepper that uses the saltshaker?

Yeah, we have that in mind.

Salt should be reworked into something more staple of a spice/food additive.

I think boiling salt water to get salt is a good idea. Salt could just be turned into a spice.
Natural resource salts could still be different thing. There are all kinds of magical pink mountain salts on markets RL anyways etc..

Something like that is difficult to do RL, you would have to distill it etc. But distilled water is no good.

1. Local resource salt should be renamed to something related
2. There should be a way to boil salt water to salt, it will not be used as local resource salt
3. Salt should became a spice for variable food
