Heater/Cooler/Cool Box woes

[Imperatordavius]

So am i the only one not finding a real use for the heater/coolers or the cool box?

Like while its nice that the cooler box will be able to maintain my food for longer while in my base, the fact that i need a pal on duty 24/7 makes it kinda pointless, as the one ice pal i did find to help me with that problem, an Icemau (i think thats how its pronounced) and later a Foxicle, led me to think that they'd help with the problem

Well they did, but since they are living/eating/breathing refrigerators, they need to setp away and eat or worse yet sleep. When they do either, especially sleep, they leave the box and whatever's in there goes onto the 10 minute cooldown timer instead of its like 100/200 minute timer. and since i won't be at my base sometimes, well by the time i get back all of my food in there will probably be gone after a while.

same with cooler and heaters, having a pal on them 24/7 makes it really hard to manage a base in either climates for the same reasons. I wish the cool box worked similiar to the generator, where an electric pal would charge it up and either you use the electricity or it deteriorates in charge after a certain time period, resulting in the electric pal recharging it again.

Cooler boxes are for food, but the two other types are for changing the local ambient temperature. This is relevant for the hatching time of temperature sensetive eggs ;)

jea even the heaters are pretty weak if they at least got stronger with a bigger pal but no they put out the same head when a lvl 1 firemaking pal blows in or a lvl 4 pal it`s not very useful

tbh if you play on anything else then 1hour for the big eggs you are wasting your time the standart for hard is 72 hours thats way to much

It would be beneficial if the coolers/heaters/electrical generators stayed activated for a time after theyve been used by a Pal. My poor Grizzbolt is attatched to the generator 24/7 and the fridge is absolutely worthless since you can make hundreds of food with no effort and they expire 1 at a time. Just make it so they channel for 5 minutes and its charged for 30 minutes. That way they can do other stuff besides be glued to it.

because electricity is only for slave labor and the first fridge comes way before but it`s a good point why the second doesn`t use it

If you leave the food in the campfire/cookpot, it will stay fresh forever

early heater/chiller understandable they kind of suck.

The end game electric Heater/Chiller that requires Electric & heal/cold pal to function??? Not so understandable.

The end game stuff should have a heat/cool charge like the electric charger (fills up & goes down when not beign actively charged)

The fridge for example is basically required (as cant live off berries forever efficiently) & only 1 Pal can do the job....Cryst Vanwyrm becasue its the ONLY ice type that works at night...and if your not cooling it at night stuff spoils.

Heater/cooler/fridge (at least upgraded ones) NEED a charge system so they don't instantly useless moment soemthing isnt focusing on them.


also...How does my food spoil if i live in the frigid biome??
