Starting Island

The Starting Island is where the player spawns when entering a new world in Salt.

Overview
It contains lots of materials and no pirates. There is always an abandoned campsite on this island, with an NPC named "A Mysterious Figure" sitting on a crate. The two crates contain basic materials, along with the chest (which can be opened without a key). There is also a pickaxe hidden on the island. A broken sailing raft is also floating near the shores. You should be able to repair it with the cloth found in the chest and some wood logs.

A dead pirate can be found near the campsite, the player can find the ragged gloves and the book "Blueprints for the Pardon Pusher". It provides some info as to why the pirate was here and starts the quest for the Pardon Pusher.

The starting island, like all the others, is randomly generated, thus the position of the campsite and the pickaxe on the island may vary depending on the seed. However, the island's position on the map is always 0/0 (the new world's center).

A Mysterious Figure
This NPC only appears on the starting island. When the player interacts with him, he will provide three dialogue options:
