Big Advanced Passive Cooler Redux

Does this mod still work?

since the author is korean, the "1 degree" is probably celcius. im guessing the cooler just refrigerates food then

Can confirm, this DOES work in 1.3!

1 degree what? C? F? K? and 1.3? :)

Does this work with 1.3?

It's one thing to be able to have a very primitive, passive cooler. This is a nice mod and a nice idea. But to have one that can cool down to 1 degree (Celcius?) using only rainwater and wood for fuel seem a bit too OP to me. That's just 1 degree above freezing, where highly perishable stuff like meat will keep for 20 days, Milk and Berries will keep for 2.3 years, and eggs will keep for 2.5 years .

For comparison: At room temperature, meat will only keep for 2 days, Milk and Berries will keep for 14 days, and eggs for 15 days. I think it would be better game balanced and a bit more realistic of such a passive cooler could only cool down to, say, 5°Celcius in order to get double the normal spoil time. Alternatively, 4°Celcius would allow meat to keep for nearly 5 days, Milk and Berries for 35 days, and eggs for 37 days (keeping in mind that an in-game year is 30 days).

@FlashPoint55 could it be possible to update to 1.3?

got a new warning when i start the game

Wonder if you could make this compatible with Expanded woodworking?

The idea of the mod is good but makes it super OP, all you need to refrigerate is wood and can be refilled with rain.

To keep the game balance it should be used as a container.
You can put a stack inside and keep it refrigerated.
That's the way it was intended with passive coolers.

This will keep it balanced since its only 1 stack what you can refrigerate and you need to keep the same amount of wood being utilized.

You can still put it outside to get it refilled by the rain but the items being refrigerated should be deteriorated as if they were " roofed " to keep balance.

Kudos for your Mod
