DryingSpeedOverhaul is a Vintage Story mod by QuantumRage. DryingSpeedOverhaul reworks drying with temperature, wind, rain, storage, rooms, and nearby heat sources affecting the rate.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod suits players who want drying to respond to weather, shelter, heat, and container type instead of using one fixed timer.
What DryingSpeedOverhaul adds
Drying changes dynamically with temperature: below freezing it stops, while warmer conditions accelerate it. Rooms insulate items, campfires prevent low temperatures from slowing nearby drying, and heat sources can greatly increase the rate.
Wind speeds drying outdoors, while rain can make exposed items wetter and push the rate below zero. Indoor storage ignores wind and rain, making shelter a meaningful part of food and material processing.
Storage type also matters: closed containers are slowest, entity inventories receive a middle rate, and open storage dries at the standard rate. The Block Info HUD reports drying rates for supported containers and storage blocks.
The included drying rack accepts item stacks and can be configured for more than its realism-focused default capacity. Its displayed items are arranged and scaled to fit, while adjacent racks can share one combined interface.
