The Large Plant Drying Rack is a tall frame of sticks and twine for drying big crops. The in-game tooltip says it is used to dry larger plants like Wheat, Barley and Rye.

It belongs to Farming and sits between the harvest and the next craft. Wheat, Barley and Rye sheaves dry here after the harvest. Dried Corn is what the Stone Mill grinds into Cornflour and Cornmeal. Dried Flax is what the Ripple Comb works on. Tobacco and Sunflower Head also dry here. A farmer builds it once the first grain or fibre crop is in the ground. The Small Plant Drying Rack covers herbs and other small plants. The rack is built from the build menu.

How to Build Large Plant Drying Rack

The build is called Large Plant Drying Rack and sits in the Farming build menu. It takes six Long Stick, eight Twine and two Nails. A hammer and a saw are needed, and both come back after the build. A crude saw works in place of a full saw.

The builder needs Carpentry level 1. The build gives 10 Carpentry XP. The recipe is known from the start.

Once built, the rack has 100 health. Each level of the builder's skill adds 20 more.

The Large Plant Drying Rack recipe is in the Farming build menu. It needs Carpentry level 1.

How to Use Large Plant Drying Rack

Clicking the rack opens its drying window. The crop goes in, and the drying is started by hand. The rack then holds the crop until it is dry.

Each load takes up to twenty of one crop. The same number of dried pieces comes back out. Only plants counted as large fit this rack.

Crafting Recipes

Grain is the main use. Dry Wheat, Dry Barley and Dry Rye turn fresh sheaves into Wheat Sheaf (Dried), Barley Sheaf (Dried) and Rye Sheaf (Dried). Dry Corn gives Corn (Dried).

Fibre crops come next. Dry Flax and Dry Hemp give Flax (Dried) and Hemp (Dried). The dried flax goes on to the Ripple Comb.

Dry Sunflower gives Sunflower Head (Dried). Dry Tobacco gives Tobacco (Dried).

None of these ask for a skill level, and all are known from the start.

Every recipe made at the Large Plant Drying Rack is listed with what it uses up, the tools it hands back and the skill it asks for. A "Yes" under Learned means the recipe has to be learned before it shows up.
