Forum salt is only viable in a liquid solution though.
The best deposits seem to from below engineering grind threads.
ADS vs FSS threads produces the best quality and purity of Forum salt.
But the best ship to go mining Forum Salt with is the Cobra MkIV
Ohh... that’s a close call!But the best ship to go mining Forum Salt with is the Cobra MkIV
True enough... not unlike looking for earth-like worlds.Indeed, though most of the time when you crack open a rock you find... more rock.
