The Salination Controller is the main interface to a Salination Plant, a multi-block structure for producing [Brine]. At a minimum, it must be composed of three layers:
|
|

|
| |
|
|
|:---------------:|
|
|
|  |
|
|
|  |
|
|

|
|
|
|
The top layer of the structure is the most complex. Each corner must contain an [Advanced Solar Generator]. The center must be left hollow, and the remaining edges must be made of [Salination Block]s with a single controller somewhere in the ring.
|
|
|
|
The structure must contain at least one middle layer (though any larger number is permitted). The overall structure must contain at least two [Salination Valve]s in a middle layer somewhere (one for input of [Water], and one for output of [Brine]), but otherwise, the middle layers must be hollow rings of 12 salination blocks each.
|
|
|
|
The bottom layer consists of 16 [Salination Block]s.
|
|
|

Here's the [Crafting Plan](/craft/4.advanced_solar_generator:33.salination_block:salination_controller:2.salination_valve) for the smallest possible salination plant.

# Usage
|
|
|
|
The Salination plant relies on solar power to convert water into brine. All that's needed is a pump to keep the tank filled, and a steady source of sunshine to power it. Of course, the sun doesn't shine all the time, so you will naturally have less productive periods overnight.
|
|
|
|
The taller your salination plant is, the higher temperature it will be able to achive and maintain, and thus the more efficient it will be at producing brine.
