Drying and already dried monster meat on racks

The Drying Rack is a structure which allows the player to dry meats into Jerky, increasing health value and prolonging the rate of spoilage. It requires 3 Twigs, 2 Charcoal, and 3 Ropes to craft a Drying Rack and a Science Machine to prototype it. Meat, Monster Meat, Morsel, Frog Legs, Fish and Drumstick are available to dry.

Jerky

Only uncooked meats can be dried into Jerky. Jerky, Small Jerky, and Monster Jerky can all be created using a Drying Rack, each of which spoils much more slowly than either their fresh or cooked counterparts. Dried foods also provide a greater health bonus when eaten; for example a Small Jerky provides 8 Health, while a Cooked Morsel provides only 1. Monster Jerky still drains your health and sanity but less. Also, unlike cooking meat, the jerky created will always be completely fresh, instead of having half less spoilage than the meat used. This means you can dry a spoiled morsel, and still get a completely fresh piece of jerky. Meat left on the racks do not spoil until collected.
