The quality of drying racks speeds up the drying process.
Really? It's already cripplingly slow. This is nothing, nor is it a larger incentive to use resources for large factions who have them, because of surplus.
All this serves is to hamper and bog down new players who can't access outside resources.
Furthermore, the quality meme is only good to a point. The crappy, haphazard stick turd holding up some skin isn't going to make a difference. Bark and water to the leather though? That will. Water and crops to the bread? Yeah, that will.
But the RACK that it dries on is just silly.
