The Drying Rack plays a vital role in your survival journey within Sons of the Forest. This structure is your key to preserving food and creating non-perishable items. Let's delve into the world of Drying Racks and uncover the secrets to maximizing their potential.

Exploring the Drying Rack

The Drying Rack serves as a meat dehydrator constructed from sticks in Sons of the Forest. With just 13 sticks, you can build a rack capable of holding various types of meat, from animal parts to fish. The meat undergoes a transformation into dry, long-lasting sustenance.

Aside from drying meat, the rack doubles as an alternative food storage solution. However, beware of potential theft by companions or mutants. To safeguard your provisions, place the rack in a secure, inaccessible location.

Meats Suitable for Drying

Utilize the Drying Rack for all types of meat, whether raw, cooked, or even spoiled. The drying duration can vary, typically taking up to 24 hours based on the meat type.

Operating the Drying Rack is a breeze:

• Ensure meat pieces are in your inventory.
• Approach the rack closely.
• Interact with the rack by pressing E.
• Select the meat for dehydration.
