VariantsEvaporation Pond (Heated)

The Evaporation Pond is one of only two machines which can produce Salt, a critical ingredient in Glass Mix and a requirement to manufacture Glass. The other is the Evaporation Pond (Heated) variant which carries a 50% higher Worker, 100% higher Maintenance, and an additional 250 KW Electricity cost, but has twice the throughput. Compared to one Evaporation Pond (Heated), a pair of Evaporation Ponds consume two more Worker and a significant amount of space to save 250 kW of Electricity.

Salt can be created using either Seawater from a Seawater Pump or from the Brine byproduct of a Thermal Desalinator. If significant amounts of Brine are available from desalination, this is significantly cheaper than creating salt directly from Seawater, though Thermal Desalinators.are very expensive to run.
