Description
Adds a bag that keeps your food so fresh and so cool.

Hey ya! Hey ya!
You've seen the Cooler bag and felt a deep treason in your fragile heart, realising you were not able to store fresh food in it..
You've come to the right place.

How to keep your food cool ?
  • Gather a garbage bag some duct tape and water.
  • Right click on any of those items and select Make Water Pocket.
  • Put the pocket in the freezer.
  • Wait for 12 hours (It's the 90's guys). It turns into an Ice Pocket.
  • Put the Ice Pocket in a cooler (change it every 24hours).
  • You can change the need for ice pockets from mod options or sandbox options.

Where is my cooling bag ?
  • The cooler is a vanilla rare item found with other camping and fishing items.
  • If you activate Eggon's Modding Utils, cooler will also appear among hunters and fishermen's loots.
  • Lunchbox now has cooling capability.

Limitations
(to be improved upon)
  • Food items put in the cooler are cooling instantly.
  • Food items removed from the cooler may retrieve ambient temperature instantly.
  • Water Pockets directly on ground do not freeze in winter (you need to put them in a container).
  • Frozen items unfreeze too fast in the cooler (they do like normal container, they should do like fridges).
  • "Sometime" pockets freeze when outside temperature is below 0 (depends on vanilla update behaviour).
  • In case of mismatch between client and server with B41 Multiplayer, Follow the steps here[theindiestone.com].
  • Some ice / water pocket state changes may not trigger at the right time. Putting the cursor on them will trigger the update.

Also
  • Can be added to / removed from existing saves.
  • Multiplayer compatible.

You are a modder and want to add the cooling capability to your fancy bag or furniture ?
Just add the following code in your lua file.
require "coolbag" Coolbag.addCoolerContainerType("MyFancyTypeName");
Note that if the capacity of the bag or furniture is between 10 and 20kg, you will need 2 Ice Pockets (one pocket per 10kg, ceiling).

I love this mode

@LoveCRIMEBYSIOUXSIE I just saw that the mode has a problem with any option, it activates all the fridges in mode unlimited even without electricity. Do you have the same problem in multiplayer? I play in single player mode.
Arès 15 Oct @ 10:57am 
The mode is great, I would like more colors of the style, red, green, yellow in addition :) thank you for the creation. :steamhappy:

Does anybody know if this mod is working for single player? Apparently, it´s only having issues with MP

I divided my comment in 2 parts because I cant comment with more than 1000 words and the whole thing had around 1500, so I did it.

Anyway, thank you for this mod and I hope you like my suggestion - because being in the middle of a zombie apocalypse is no excuse for being deprived of a frosty one hahaha!

Cheers and hugs from Brasil!
=D

PART 2 OF 2

Here some videos to offer a better idea about what I am seeking to say:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL7k3yp_9jU
this one is in english it is basically explaining about water + salt and the freezing point.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E-gndIRrA8
this one is in brazilian portuguese and it shows the recipe for the enhanced mixture water + salt + alcohol and show that it downs the temperature to -5C in 3 minutes! The recipe is for every 1 ice sack (1Kg is the usual weight in Brasil [yes I am from Brasil]) + 2 liters of water + 500g of salt + 500ml of alcohol.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMKis4FPykw
this one is in english and show the myth busters showing that the pykrete is not a myth

I hope you see my idea and implement it because I think this mod is really useful and so this addition would give another layer of depht for the survivalists out there.

PART 1 OF 2

Hi, really liked the idea and I also would like to offer you a suggestion to add to this mod: add the recipe for pykrete (aka "infinite" ice).

Basically pykrete is a mix of cotton or wood pulp + water (86% water) and then you put it all in a pan, baking pan or anything that can be used as a mold (cake pan, pan, etc) and then you put it to freeze.

After the pykrete is done it takes a lot of time to melt under room temperature (+/- 8x times more if compared to regular ice).

You can also enhance it adding salt and pharmacy alcohol so it will put the freezing point really below the usual point (so it will means the pykrete will take more time to be ready, but it will also last longer than the normal pykrete).

Если пакет со льдом, который вы берете в сумку или на себя, исчезает сразу после того, как вы его взяли, я нашел решение этой проблемы. Не берите его прямо из морозильника. Сначала бросьте его на землю. Затем поднимите его. Затем вы можете положить его обратно в морозильник или положить в сумку-холодильник, если хотите. Когда вы достаете его из морозильника в первый раз, образуется насекомое. Бросьте его на землю. Поднимите его. Вы можете использовать его вечно, не теряя его.

Eğer çantanıza veya üzerinize aldığınız buz torbası, aldığınız gibi kayboluyor ise bunun için bir çözüm keşfettim. Buzluktan doğrudan almayın. Önce yere atın. Sonra yerden alın. Sonra isterseniz buzluğa geri koyabilir veya soğutucu çantanıza koyabilirsiniz. İlk seferde buzluktan alınca bir böcek oluşuyor. Yere atın. Geri alın. Sonsuza dek kaybolmadan kullanabilirsiniz.
