Meat jerky takes too long//preserving bins

[Mark Aber]

So our Tribe never really used preserving bins.
When they found a way into the game we allready had fridges.
Well now the kibble recipes force you to craft jerky with these bins.
And thats all they do now in our base - produce jerky for kibbles. Wasting space and time.

Please reconsider the jerky as kibble ingredient or
Decrease the time one jerky takes to produce or
Keep the hour long process but make all meat in the bin into jerky at once or
Add an industrial preserving bin that is faster/ or produces more jerky at once (electrical for example)

There is purpose for jerky, beyond kibble.

[GeekyGek]

make 5 bins, stick the prime, oil, sparkpowder in the bins. Make 1 bin, stick sparkpowder, eggs in it.

5 jerky every couple hours (real hours), and your eggs are safe for 79 days. whats the issue?

great idea.. how about we let every stack of meat spoil at once too?

[Red River]

I agree. same for fartilizer. it should produce everything at once when there's enough ingridients instead of one at a time once a day or hour... b0ring!

Our primitive survivors have figured out how to make GPS units, electronic trackers, rocket launchers, refrigerators, and a whole host of other sophisticated devices no problem. We can even use a bit of metal to create a behemoth gate so massive that looks like it might take fifty people three years to bang out, but we somehow have not yet figured out how to hang thirty pieces of meat to dry simultaneously in our crappy wooden dehydrator instead of just one piece at a time.

I doubt that a piece of meat is dried after another. All meat is dried simultaneously! This is how it works.

ok, so they let you dry all meat simultaneously. Then they make the recipe require 20 jerky. back to square one.

I have jerky for days in my fridge about 750-ish, with just 6 bins... takes 3 sparkpowder, and 1 oil to jerkify meat.
Maybe you don't have the patience for it?

The process could use some work though. The cooked meat will spoil in between the 3 sparkpowder it uses. But I get 22-ish jerky from 30 cooked meat.

ahhh!!! ive been searching for this.

so, its confirmed that 3 sparkpowder produces 1 jerky? ive been trying to search for this 'formula' of sorts so that I don't have to waste excess sparkpowder trying to jerk all my meat. teehee. Me and my woman just finished a large Jerkin room in our base; so im very curious of this fact so that I can get producing tonight.

TL;DR:
so 1 oil, 1 cooked meat, and 3 sparkpowder is exactly 1 jerky?

Related to all the comments regarding the difficulty.
As if gathering meat for the kibbles is by any means "hard" per se
The current jerky system isn't "hard" at all - it's just a huge time sink.
For all I could care they could add an industrial presiving bin that is fueled with polymers and electronics and crystal as long that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing is faster.

As someone wrote above - it just makes no sense meat doesn't dry one by one. It's rather all or nothing

it does make sense, because this game is just that....a game. NOT real life. balancing takes into effect.

and it is NOT a time sync at all, before you log off throw some meat and some oil and spark powder in 6-8 preserving bins. tada 100+ jerky over night that keeps ina frig basically FOREVER! this is NOT an issue at all.

eventually with all these complaints i feel like this game is going to be released on the Disney Infinity once its all said and done.

The real purpose I see in kibble is to make use of the different tools. Crops which include their own bit of requirements and preservation bins which require the meat ofc and oil.

I don't think the devs intended this to be a time sink, where you to sit and watch the grass grow, its suppose to be a build up over time and then bam, you realize you have enough to go get that 160 t-rex.

It wouldn't be so bad if the preserving bins actually worked. So far I've been able to make 6 prime jerky in a week, because my bins simply don't function.
It worked a few times the first few pieces, but now Sparkpowder, oil, and cooked prime meat sit in there for days, and the oil gets used up, but no jerky is created.

This exactly, we have same problem.

-Also, it should do the first piece of every stack pr. jerkied meat imho. Not the whole stack.

Now that I have refrigerators setup, I've noticed that this doesn't happen when the ONLY things in the preserving bin are sparkpowder, oil, and cooked prime meat.

Previously, my bin had the new dino eggs in it, too, which were likely screwing up the whole process. The game was likely trying to make dodo egg jerky or something.

We had absolutely nothing else in it than 6 cooked prime meat and a couple of stacks of cooked meat. Put in 2x100 spark powder 100 oil. 70 oil later I had six prime meat jerky and 13 cooked meat jerky... It stopped somewhere in the process but still used the oil..
