Dehydrator question

[GreeneTheVT]

Hey all, I unlocked the dehydrator and the description says that it can make chips. But I'm only able to put seaweed into it, any other item say "It can dehydrate ocean plants"

The description is very misleading indeed. You use it to get hay (from fiber) or to get snack from the ocean scavengable stuff (seaweed, clams, etc)

[GreeneTheVT]

That's unfortunate. Hopefully they implement it where you can use regular fruits and vegetables

If that's the case, then 1) is that functionality being taken away from the mill, and 2) how would silos work in that case? I ask because so far I've been playing with the update using my existing save, and my hay stores are full at the moment. While it makes logical sense, it is a bit troubling that efficient feed production for ranching might now gated by diving progression.

Correct, the mill now makes different kinds of flour.

The ability to create hay is locked behind diving, but you should have absolutely no trouble getting more hay than you'll ever need just cutting down grass around town. Don't forget, you can also buy hay, and if you let your animals out to graze every day you don't even need hay. So you really only need it for bad weather days, and just foraging gives you plenty.

I guess the silo has lost its usefulness, then.

Between this and the altar changes, I may have to create a new save after all, just to see how progression is affected.
