Used to securely dry resources:
The flax hammock is the better version of the drying rack - it costs a lot more, but dries resources faster (particularly important for wet linen when using a paper press).
Note that if you're filling a given area (like the area you can reach while pinned) and you're doing more than one batch, drying racks are faster because they're much smaller. And if you're setting up for a project somewhere, the less complex cost is also helpful. I noticed this while doing 150,000 straw for the 7L Sphinx. ~~Jzalae

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.
