Drying Rack

Used to securely dry resources:

• Dry up to 200 grass into straw, taking approximately 13 minutes (4 secs/grass?).
• Dry up to 10 rotten flax into dried flax, taking 10 minutes (no matter how much flax is drying).
• Dry up to 20 papyrus into dried papyrus, taking approximately 20 minutes (no matter how much papy is drying).
• Dry up to 4 wet linen into linen, taking approximately 15 minutes (any quantity of wet linen). - check this time
• Dry up to 100 wheat into Wheat (Dried, Raw)

The flax hammock is a better version of this drying rack, but it costs a lot more.

To build:

Costs:

• 18 boards

Built: in a compound (using 5x7 cells) or outside

Comments

• Upgrade is the flax hammock, which is more expensive but dries resources faster.

2007-08-27 16:31:34 Apophis here. I have just made some substantial changes in the code involved in drying things in the drying racks and flax hammocks.
2007-08-27 16:32:50 First of all, all durations for drying things in the flax hammocks have changed to be similar to that of grass, in that the duration required is now a function of quantity - drying 1 wet linen now takes a fourth of the time as drying four wet linen. This applies to papyrus, grass, linen, flax, and wheat.
2007-08-27 16:33:34 Also, you can now dry wheat in both the flax hammock and drying rack.
2007-08-27 16:34:52 Finally, the graphics for wheat have changed. Wheat now appears as grass, except larger. This should give you a graphical indication of when wheat has dried properly, so that repeated click to checks will not be necessary.
