The Simple Large Plant Drying Rack is a frame of sticks and cord for drying tall crops after harvest. The game describes it as a rack used to dry larger plants like Wheat, Barley and Rye.

It serves Farming and the crafts that grow from it. Grain sheaves of wheat, barley and rye are dried here. Flax and hemp must dry before they enter the fibre line. Tobacco, corn and sunflower heads dry here too. This is the cheap early version of the rack. It takes only sticks and cord, so it can go up on the first day of a farm.

How to Build Simple Large Plant Drying Rack

The build recipe is Build Simple Large Plant Drying Rack, under Farming in the build menu. It takes six Long Stick and eight lengths of cord. Sapling works in place of Long Stick. Twine, Rag, Denim Strips, Leather Strips or Rope all work as the cord.

The recipe is known from the start. The build gives a small amount of Carpentry experience.

The finished rack has 100 health. Each point of the builder's skill adds 20 more.

The Build Simple Large Plant Drying Rack recipe is in the Farming build menu. It needs Carpentry level 0.

How to Use Simple Large Plant Drying Rack

The rack works differently from a crafting bench. Crops are loaded onto it through its own menu, and the drying is started by hand. The plants then hang on the rack until they are dry. Dried crops are taken back off once the drying finishes.

A rack holds a batch of up to twenty of one crop at a time. That makes it easy to dry a whole harvest of a single plant together.

Only large plants go on this rack. Herbs, peppers and flowers need the small plant rack instead.

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), which the Stone Quern grinds into Cornflour or Cornmeal.

Fibre crops come next. Dry Flax gives Flax (Dried) for the Ripple Comb. Dry Hemp gives Hemp (Dried) for the Scutching Board.

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

Every recipe made at the Simple 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.

Station Tiers

The Large Plant Drying Rack runs exactly the same recipes. It needs Carpentry level 1, a hammer, a saw and nails. The simple rack does the same job with only sticks and cord. Build the simple rack first and keep it, since both dry crops the same way.
