Salt Pete Character Spotlight Introduces the Robot Ferryman
Salt Pete is a tall robot at the docks who wears a straw hat and operates a makeshift ferry across the bay.
What the official update confirms
The official spotlight presents him as cheerful but sharp-edged, prone to arguments with other harbor robots and more interested in passenger stories than discussing his own past. This wording comes from official Nivalis Nights store information, community Q&A or a dated ION LANDS development post. It is presented as a confirmed pre-release update rather than a finished-game walkthrough.
Why this matters for players
His ferry role, harbor conflicts and dialogue make him a confirmed named character, but the preview does not publish a quest chain, schedule or relationship route. That distinction helps players plan for launch without turning a promotional example into an unsupported rule, ranking or guaranteed outcome.
What we will verify next
The character guide will add exact locations, service rules and choices only when they are observable in the final game. This page will be revised when a newer official announcement or reproducible release-build evidence changes the answer.
