cooler box

[Henshin]

there is almost no point in making the cooler box to keep your food fresh cause not a single pal will focus on keeping it cool, no matter what. If I try to force assign one to it it just says no work available. (yes they have the cooling ability, they sometimes do it but never for long)
oh and tanzee (if that is the right name, the green monkey) can't walk onto foundations, they just get stuck)

might be a pathfinding issue. had no problems assigning an ice pal on mine

[Metal Ann]

I had no issue getting the penguin on my cooler. I do find issues assigning things sometimes and what helps is destroying it and making again. Or, like Const said, it could be a pathfinding issue.

Theres a glitch were if you sort your inventory or any storages with food the timer on food resets it helps alot

[Lafettie]

i have exact another issue,as soon as i assigned one,i cant get him off the task unless i unassign him.They wont eat,sleep or do anything else,just cooling.

[An'Mar]

there are some plas that have only the freezing ability so they dont't run of to do someting else.

I use the blue hedhog, can't remember the name right now. he has only cooling 1 and nothing else so he can only use the fridge.

I wanted to try to assign one that had only the cooling ability but sadly I don't have a single pal that has that ability only. Do you remember where you can catch one?

Given how easy farms are to set up, I honestly don't think there's much of a point to the cooler boxes. You can have 500+ berries in under an hour with just 2 farms. Any better food just gets carried along in my inventory since it refills way more hunger. Plus there's also a bug at the moment where sorting inventories resets the countdown on food.

It should have a cooler charge like electric generator.

if u get the no-work available it just means u got too much other stuff next to your cooler. mine is being cooled by its assigned pal all day

[Hardwick Johnson]

If you try to assign a Pal to something (by lifting and throwing them into the task object) they should be able to do, and it says "no work available", they've glitched. Go to the pal box, drag another pal from the box onto them, let the new one spawn in for 5-10 seconds, then bring out the pal you actually want. If they don't get the light bulb icon above their head and rush off to their task after 5-10sec after they drop, try to manually assign with the lift and toss. If they're fixed, they work, if still bugged out, it'll say no work and may take a change in instance (fast travel out and back or log out then back in).

For me, this happens when fairly often when I fast travel back to the base or when I first load into the game and 18 Pal's all drop at once.
I've made it a point that whenever I return to the base, I take 2-3mins and just cycle my Pals through the box. This is also helpful because sometimes a Pal will get stuck on top of the logging building and pass out from lack of food before I notice.
Anyway, give that a shot.

yes this fixes it for a short time but after a few minutes the same issue will return

it can be nice to stockpile higher filling food like jam on a bun in the cooler, or ingredients u save up for making cake.

just know that sure feeding your pals cheap baked berries work fine, but because they only eat 1 item when hunger drops to 50% they'll end up spending more time going back and forth between the feeding station and their workstation than actually working because baked berries barely fill them over 50%. the same can be said for sanity. theyll get tired of their work quicker

I would advise putting the cooler/refrigerator on like a 2x2 foundation with the cooler in the middle and not have anything else near it. I know it would look stupid but for the sake of it working at the time being due to pathing, it has to be done.

Another thing like other people said, you need a Pal that does Ice-only. The way that work is prioritized with Pals are so darn weird so a multi-task Pal wouldn't always work on the cooler.

Even then, it's not like you don't get better farms past the berry and wheat ones. It seems like eventually you unlock tomato and lettuce farms as well, and it also seems like they restore more nutrition than berries or wheat. Can also just put a bunch of chikipi in a ranch and wind up with lots of eggs.
