How do you dry berries?

[Bad Words]

Is it something they took out? It's odd I have 4 ways to process mushrooms but nothing to do with berries early on.

[Evaliss]

Yeah, I haven't been able to figure this out either. :(

What about that dryer cooking thing? Supposed to do meat, maybe berries too? I have not crafted it yet since I really do not need it presently

[Evaliss]

I haven't seen any prompts for berries on those - only for mushrooms, fish and the three kinds of meat. D:

Berries can be turned into a jam in a campfire with cauldron:

In the foraging hut there is 3 racks on the side, you dry them there

you can find foraging hut in tier 2... thats bad.. it is to late in research.. drying mushooms and berries should be sooner in game

There are actually 9 slots for drying in the Foraging Hut. And I agree...there should be access to this much sooner. They should give 3 on the Foraging Tent.

How do you stop villagers from drying berries, I get my villagers to forage berries for jam but they keep taking them to the drying rack for useless dried berries?

They can add a drying rack. If possible this can also lead to jerky since provision rots fast until you gain a cellar.

You cant do much, you have to wait until they add a task for them. Until then probably hide the berry somewhere else.

The foraging hut might be bugged a bit.. I have one of the drying slots in my foragers hut that has stopped working. Not the entire rack, just one of the slots(wierd right?).. It has permanently bugged drying berries that cant be harvested in the first position of the middle drying rack slot.

Secured berries by using them all to make jam and taken berry gathering off to do list, now they are going after mushrooms and drying them lol.

i have a similar problem. my villagers only dry mushrooms, no berries. i have set a dry mushroom limit in my stockpile, but they dont care. they only use mushrooms on the 9 drying rack slots. very annoying

I have a settlement a small distance away from my main base. There is a logging camp, hunting camp and foraging hut and I simply have a priority list for 2 workers and a set amount of each resource that I want a day. Then I get them delivered to my base. No foraging hut in my main base for that reason, just the T1 foraging camp so I get to keep all the berries collected for jam.
The dried mushroom and berries collected from small settlement gets sent to other settlements to they don't complain about being hungry. Keeps all the "Good" food for main base. I have too much food (dried mushrooms, berries, veggies) But I don't mind spoiling some food if it makes sure I never run out.
