Jerky Rack Blueprint

Jerky Rack
Grounded 2 - Crude Rope Crude Rope x6
Grounded 2 - Bombardier Part Bombardier Part x5

Like other utilities, the Jerky Rack is built via the Construction menu, and it requires 5 Bombardier Part and 6 Crude Rope.

Building a Jerky Rack completes the Jerky Time Ranger Challenge, which will reward you with 350 Raw Science.

How to Use Jerky Rack

Hang Raw Meat on Jerky Rack

Hang Raw Meat on Jerky Rack

To use the Jerky Rack, hang raw meat obtained from creatures such as Grub, Weevil, Gnat, and Aphid. After sleeping, the raw meats will turn into jerky, which no longer spoils, making it an ideal food to bring during exploration.

Hang Resources on Jerky Rack

Hang Resources

The Jerky Rack can also be used to dry other resources, such as Blueberry Chunks, Lingonberry Chunks, and Plant Fiber. After sleeping, these items will turn into Blueberry Leather, Lingonberry Leather, and Dry Grass Chunk, respectively.

This method is particularly useful because it offers a much better yield than a Workbench. For example, crafting a single piece of leather at a Workbench requires 3 chunks, whereas the Jerky Rack only needs 1, despite the time it takes.
