- After preparing them salted meats needs to be hanged on the Drying Rack (new processing station) and it will take atleast 2 ingame days for them to be ready (NOTE: Night and weather events will stop the curing process, also Drying Racks needs to be put outside to properly work.)
- Salted eggs doesn't need to be hanged you can just put/throw them on the floor, different size eggs have different curing time smaller faster while bigger takes longer.
