About Salt Deposit in Subnautica 2

This resource is found across multiple biomes in Subnautica 2 and plays a role in mid-game crafting progression. Understanding where it spawns and how to farm it efficiently saves significant time during critical build phases.

How to Farm Salt Deposit Efficiently

Use the Bioscanner to highlight resource nodes in low-visibility environments. Target cave systems within the primary biome for higher node density than the open ocean floor. Collect passively on every dive rather than making dedicated runs.

Advanced Notes

Resources in Subnautica 2 respawn over time — typically 10–20 in-game days. Revisiting known rich areas periodically is more efficient than constantly scouting new territory.
