Unlock / Pierre's 10,000g recipe, Mushroom Cave starter, and Prize Machine source

Unlock and Source Route

解锁与来源路线

Dehydrator is a 1.6 artisan machine. Buy the recipe from Pierre for 10,000g, take the free starter Dehydrator if the Farm Cave becomes a Mushroom Cave, or use Prize Machine progress as a bonus source.

Craft / 30 Wood, 2 Clay, 1 Fire Quartz, 5-hour processing, and chest lanes

Crafting Cost and Layout

制作成本与布局

Each crafted Dehydrator costs 30 Wood, 2 Clay, and 1 Fire Quartz. It processes in 5 in-game hours, so compact lanes beside fruit, mushroom, and Grape storage make the machine much easier to keep full.

Fruit / 5 fruit input, 5-hour processing, 7.5x base fruit price plus 25g

Dried Fruit Value Route

果干价值路线

Dried Fruit uses 5 fruit of the same type and converts surplus orchard, greenhouse, island, or seasonal fruit into a compact artisan good. It is best when keg space is limited or fast batch processing matters.

Mushrooms / 5 edible mushrooms, Mushroom Cave, Mushroom Logs, Life Elixir, and Raccoon requests

Dried Mushrooms Route

蘑菇干路线

Dried Mushrooms turn 5 edible mushrooms into a compact artisan good. Mushroom Cave and Mushroom Logs can feed the machine, but keep enough mushrooms for Life Elixir, bundles, gifts, and Raccoon requests before drying everything.

Raisins / 5 Grapes, Junimo Hut productivity, crop grids, and late-game harvest automation

Raisins and Junimo Hut Route

葡萄干与祝尼魔小屋路线

Raisins are made by dehydrating Grapes and can be placed in Junimo Huts. Use them when Junimo harvest coverage and crop automation matter more than selling the Grapes directly.

Strategy / Kegs, Preserves Jars, Fish Smokers, Dehydrators, profit, speed, and convenience

Machine Priority and Alternatives

机器优先级与替代路线

Dehydrators are not always the top-value machine, but they are fast, compact, and excellent for surplus. Compare them with Kegs, Preserves Jars, Fish Smokers, and raw shipping according to crop value, processing time, and farm chore load.
