Tanning

How to Tan Hides

1. Place a raw hide on a Drying Frame. It'll become a dried hide after 8 hours.
2. Use Lime on a Bucket of Water to make Milk of Lime
3. Craft Limed Hide from the craft menu
4. Use a Brain on a 10L Bucket of Water to make a bucket of 10L tanning fluid (concentration is 5%).
5. Place up to four Limed Hide and tanning fluid into tanning tub and wait.
6. Every time a hide tans 100% it consumes 10L of tanning fluid and is converted into Leather.

Note:

• Whilst on the Drying Frame or Tanning Tub a faint white dial appears over the hide icon to indicate its progress. Animal hide takes roughly 8 (real) hours to dry and to tan.
• Solution concentration doesn't affect tanning time.
• Plain water can be added to the tanning tub if it's not empty.
• Adding plain water dilutes the solution requiring a brain to be added. If the solution falls under (5?)%, the hides will not tan.
• A Brain can be added directly to the tub if the solution falls under this concentration to bring it back up. Maximum concentration is 10%.
• Brains are only acquired with butchering a dead animal, and only after Tanning is learned.
