Salt

Representations

• Indivisible container of salt. This is a box of salt, salt shaker, salt packet, etc. where the salt is not coded as a separate object from its container. You probably can't empty the container at all, or if you can, it'll be done in a way that all the salt is used up.
• Divisible container of salt. The container and the salt are two distinct objects in the game. The potential problem here is that if you empty the container, you'll have a pile of salt that you won't be able to pick up again because it's a powder.
• A chunk of salt. This is a rock that just happens to be made of salt.
• A grain of salt. This version of salt is rare, but it does suggest a wordplay puzzle where you must literally TAKE ADVICE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT.

Verb Checklist

Getting Salt

Most salt in a game will be ordinary table salt, and will likely be found in the kitchen, dining room, or at a restaurant.

A chunk of salt is more likely to be found at a salt flat or in a salt mine. You can probably just pick it up, but if you can't, use a pickaxe or maybe a chisel to get a chunk. If you've found a salt statue ala Lot's wife, you'll certainly need a pickaxe.

Another source of salt is a kettle. If you can boil water in a kettle, there will be salt deposits left inside, although, of course, this won't be the same type of salt as table salt. Evaporating salty ocean water should also do the trick, if you have some other way of making water evaporate quickly.
