Straw

Straw is produced from drying grass, and also as a byproduct from flax processing. It has two main uses: as food for camels, and as an ingredient in bricks.

Sources

Straw is made by drying Grass. It can be dried by dropping it on the ground, or by putting it in a Flax Hammock or Drying Rack.

NOTE: When dropped on the ground, the more grass in a single pile, the longer the pile takes to dry.

NOTE: When dropped on the ground, grass will periodically be swept up by the game sweeper. This is not a safe nor a long-term way to dry or store straw.

Straw is also the first byproduct of processing Rotten Flax in a Flax Comb or Hackling Rake. For some, it is easier to make straw this way, especially if you have good flax seeds.
