Evaluation
Salt graduated from Early Access to its full 1.0 release on February 6, 2018. At that time, the developer confirmed the game had reached its original development roadmap. Shortly after, on February 19, 2018, Lavaboots Studios posted a hotfix update and explicitly stated: "we do not have any plans for any other major content updates. We reached our original roadmap for the game and have since fully released." This is a clear, direct statement that development of Salt (the original game) was complete.
The only DLC on the store is the Salt Soundtrack, which was released in June 2017 during Early Access — there are no unreleased DLC items.
The most recent developer communication about Salt's future came on March 23, 2021, when Lavaboots announced a Kickstarter campaign for Salt 2: Shores of Gold — a full sequel, not additional content for this game. This further confirms the studio has moved on from Salt 1 to a new project.
Salt shipped as a fully self-contained game. Anyone waiting for all content to be available can consider the game complete as of February 19, 2018.
