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.
