A Clothes Dryer is an interactable piece of furniture that can be used to dry clothing.

Usage

The clothes dryer must be connected to a power source in order to be operated. It cannot be constructed, but can be moved and disassembled.

The player can put wet clothes into the machine before turning it on. Once turned on, the machine will begin to dry the clothes. A fully soaked item of clothing will take approximately 4 minutes to dry. The player cannot add items while the machine is on. The machine will automatically turn off once all items inside are dry.

The clothes dryer will make a large amount of noise, attracting any zombies in the area. Due to the length of time it takes, it is recommended to ensure it is safe to use beforehand.

Distribution

The clothes dryer can be found in houses with a laundry, as well as laundromats. Sometimes they are replaced with a blue combo washer/dryer.

Disassembly

Dismantling the clothes dryer will give basic metalworking and electrical components such as scrap electronics, scrap metal, unusable metal, small metal sheet, metal sheet, and provide 2.5 XP for the metalworking skill. Dismantling can be done at metalworking 0, and requires a propane torch with fuel, and a welding mask.

Trivia

  • The amount of clothing inside the machine does not affect its runtime, it is only effected by how wet the wettest clothes are.
  • Washing machines and dryers will continue for a short period after the clothes inside are clean/dry. This is done to add realism.
