Brine Ice

Brine Ice

Brine Ice is a natural, highly concentrated solution of Salt dissolved in Water and frozen into a Solid state. It can be used in desalination processes, separating out usable salt.

STRINGS.ELEMENTS.BRINEICE.NAME

Brine Ice is the solid state of Brine.

Usage

Melting Brine Ice will turn it into Brine.

Dew Dripper domestic growth requires 10 kg/cycle of Brine Ice.

Production

Brine Ice may naturally exist in Ocean Biome due to low temperature.

Brine Ice is also found in some variants of Tundra Biome.

Rhexes excrete Brine Ice.

Tips

• A tile of brine ice can be created by freezing brine. To form a tile of brine ice by freezing, the mass of the brine must exceed 800 kg. If the tile is 800 kg or less it will fall as debris.
• Brine Ice is the best ice to use if you wish to create a thermal ice block. Unlike other waters it does not get its specific heat capacity halved when frozen so has the best specific heat capacity of all waters and it also can fit up to 1200 kg in a single tile.
