Why so many drying racks?

[Cheesewheel]

Just why? Or is there a meta I'm not aware of?

this looks like our base from day 2 of the world, more drying racks= more leather

Parallel vs serial.

Think of it like this: In a store, the clerks take time to check out each buyer. Say, half a minute per buyer. There are 10 buyers.

Is it faster if one clerk checks out the buyers one by one, or if 10 clerks check buyers out?

In the "1 clerk" example, there will have to be 10 cycles of checkout for the shopping to complete, and 10 cycles x half a minute = 5 minutes.

In the "10 clerks" example, there will only have to be 1 cycle of checkout, 1 buyer per clerk, so it will take half a minute.

More drying racks = less time if you have more hides than drying rack slots, but having too many drying racks is redundant (if you don't kill animals frequently enough some just won't be used)

I realize this, but some of them are unreachable (I think I didn't try) and there is nothing on them and only 1 container in 1 Leantoo
