It is a strange element, with some unexpected reactions. sea water has more reactions than salt.

This was kind of a double update... We have salt, yes, but we also have saltwater, which is even more useful.

I noticed something interesting.
The EXACT moment salt and water touch the salt disappears and the water turns to sea. When oil and soapy touch the oil they touch for a frame, then the oil turns to soapy, then they both disappear.

Lets all agree to call it either salt water or sea water, so we know what someone is talking about when they say it.

Salt, because it isn't always from the sea, and because sea water may contain more than just salt and water.

If you look at the element descriptions, the translator aptly named it as "seawater"

Salt Water (Makes more sense to me then Sea Water) has a pretty cool reaction. Salt Water is lighter then Powder and climbs up it, however when salt water touches tree/vine/metal it creates powder, and an ever growing hill is made, only stopping when ever salt water dot gets out of the mountain. This is especially intriguing because these "Salt Hills" as I call them can go through trees and metal, which means one could possibly use them for various technologies. Perhaps even in logic gates?

sea is only 3 letters. And it's offical.

Salt's not an element, it's a compound...
The Seawater seems to have more properties than the salt itself.

Meh, most of the substances in pg are compounds anyways, everyone just calls them elements..
Gunpowder
Water
Nitroglycerin
C-4
Oil
Salt
etc...

Well, I'd like to see a decision about the name, because of the wiki. Wikipedia uses Saline water and Seawater. The term Salt water only leads to a disambiguation. /me |

Probably saline water, which doesn't imply origins from the sea but does indicate a "salty" nature?
[offtopic]...and now that I'm thinking about it, what kind of salt is this: NaCl, KCl, or some other metal--non-metal compound?[/offtopic]

Probably NaCl, as it is white powder and it is the most common of the salts

I got it! We should call it Saline, after the salt and water solution. 6 letters, simple, and descriptive.

Saline fine, but harder to remeber than sea or salt water.

I guess it's ok, the self-growing powder heap could actually be used as a timer (even though, clone can be used for that too). Well, making a self-growing mountain that slowly blocks ways would be useful for player courses.
There have been better ideas which weren't accepted, but it's fun to work with salt.
