Better Drying Rack

Description
Do you want jerky but you accidentally cooked all of your meat over a fire, again? Well, this mod allows you to put cooked meats on drying racks. Cooked meats create the same jerky as their uncooked variants.

Additionally, jerky spoil times are now easily adjustable via the configuration menu.

Can you also please add adjustable drying times for different meats? I have a debug save with a pig king, but they'll only accept monster meat if it's jerky, so I want to be able to dry monster meat instantly. Thanks!

Love, Space Core. :autonautwuv:

P.S. SPAAAAACE!!!

I have come to this conclusion. When you are forced to only use raw meat to make jerky, you have to take down your already up jerky to put up the new ones. And when you do that begins a spoiling process of the now picked jerky.

Lets say you have a ton of food in your inventory. Now you have all this jerky on top of it. The chances that some of this food is going to go to waste now is pretty high. This adds an extra bit of challenge to the game. Forcing you to time your food harvesting right so you don't end up wasting any. Now if you are able to cook the meat you can double the time you can keep it without it spoiling. Giving you more time to eat the food you have, before having to harvest your dry racks and replace with the new meat.

Now you just have Jerky and no worries of wasting any food by spoilage. And by wasting i'm referring to either eating food with a full belly or spoilage. So in other words this mod does make the game easier. Removing that challenge.

And one more thing. Even if this mod didn't do what i described, it is still clear that it allows people to alter their mistake. Oops! I cooked my meat! No worries i can still dry it thanks to this mod. This in itself takes away yet another challenge in the game. Making mistakes. The wilderness is a harsh and UNFORGIVING place.

Btw. I am a big fan of your mods and i thank you for making this one. Even though personally it is not for me. :reheart:
