Cooler not working

[SpaceCataz]

The cooler box in the game is broken for me at least I have for Pengullets setup and none of them path to keep it cool. There should be a way to set a priority rank for their crafting abilities

You can lift and throw them to do a specific thing. I haven't made a cooler yet so not sure of the issue otherwise.

Throwing a ice pal onto it worked for me.
Make sure some food is in the cooler, otherwise it did not work for me.

It's not working for me either. I have tossed them at the cooler even landed them right on top and nothing. Tried locking them in the house with it and it still wants to go water the garden instead. This is when using the Pengullet.

I just tried the Chillet and it went right to the cooler. So maybe it's the pengullet that is bugged.

I was having the same issue, but I tossed a penguin at it and now it sits on the cooler all day instead.

Think you have to actively assign the cooler since the long-cooler timer swaps back to the normal decay timer the moment the pal is off of it so it's not a "pop by" situation, but a "this is the only job you do" situation

Tried that icy porcupine guy and he wouldn't work either, chillet works

I found the cooler doesn't have high enough priority for a pengullet to work on it normally, but after I threw one at it, it stayed permanently on station there.

I got it to work with a Chillet. It just sits right next to it. Looks like whatever works on it, cannot be pulled away by other work.

some water type are just water and some are frost, there is a difference so it could be that

like penguin is water but chillet is frost

If only people would read... Yes this 100% is the reason. Pals newer work on cooler if there's no food in it.

chillet works for me. i havent tried any others. best bet is to make sure it only has one duty and thats freezing. That way it wont run off and do somthing else. i got annoyed that some of my mining pokemon would go off and do other task so i switched them out to only mining ones and it works good

Chillet is only frost.
Pengu can do booth and watering the garden or other working places has higher priority.
So to get the Fridge cooled either throw the Pal on it to designate him only for this job, or use an Pal that only can frost and not watering too.

Chillet worked for me as well, but it didn't do anything for the food inside. It still went bad.

At least it looks cute there.

Issue is though, is that it can still be pulled away to eat/sleep and then afterwords it seems like it forgets what it's supposed to be doing. That and frankly, having them be away from the cooling job for the entire duration of the night just gives a good amount of time for food to be spoiling..

I'm hoping the generator will help power these things without the need for pals to sit their ass on it cuz it's frustrating that the AI can be so ADHD sometimes. :(
Not to mention there's been times where I tried to assign a pal to something intentionally and it just said "nah I don't have compatibility" WHEN IT DOES!
My favorite one being when I tried assigning a fire pal to a heater and it said it can't be assigned to heater because it lacks compatibility with cooling. :wheeze:

I believe every Pal needs to be thrown on a different position for some weird reason, it automaticly never freezes, it only works when I throw them near it. The penguin I needed to throw right in front of the fridge, the jolthog cryst I needed to throw on the right corner of the fridge for it to trigger

You have to throw a penguin at it.
