The Simple Small Plant Drying Rack is a low frame of sticks and cord for drying herbs and other small plants. The game describes it as a rack used to dry smaller plants like herbs, peppers and flowers.

It serves Farming, foraging and the kitchen. Kitchen herbs, wild plants, peppers, flowers, peas and soybeans all dry here. Grass dries into Hay as well. This is the cheap early version of the small rack. It takes only sticks and cord, so a forager can put one up right away. The survivor builds it by hand.

How to Build Simple Small Plant Drying Rack

The build recipe is Build Simple Small Plant Drying Rack, under Farming in the build menu. It takes four Long Stick and four 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 Small Plant Drying Rack recipe is in the Farming build menu. It needs Carpentry level 0.

How to Use Simple Small Plant Drying Rack

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

A rack holds a batch of up to twenty of one plant at a time. A large haul of one herb can dry together in a single load.

Only small plants go on this rack. Grain, flax, hemp, corn, sunflowers and tobacco need the large plant rack.

Crafting Recipes

Kitchen herbs make up much of the list. Dry Basil, Dry Chives, Dry Cilantro, Dry Oregano, Dry Parsley, Dry Rosemary, Dry Sage, Dry Thyme and Dry Mint keep seasonings for later. Dry Wild Garlic does the same for a foraged plant.

Wild plants come next. Dry Black Sage, Dry Broadleaf Plantain, Dry Comfrey, Dry Common Mallow and Dry Chamomile dry plants found in the wild. Dry Lavender, Dry Marigold and Dry Roses give dried petals and flowers. Dry Poppy Pods dries the pods.

Garden crops also dry here. Dry Habaneros and Dry Jalapenos keep peppers. Dry Greenpeas and Dry Soybeans give dried peas and beans. Dry Hops gives Hops (Dried).

Dry Grass turns Grass Cutting into Hay.

Every recipe made at the Simple Small 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.
