a refrigerator would be great to store raw meat i think it already exists in the map but being able to take it and use it would be reaally great

drying rack does that

No. Lol. That takes electricity. I'm not opposed to the idea, but that would require some essential developments first.

How about a cooler? Go collect snow, put it in some new crafted cabinet and store meat that way. It could last longer than the Drying Rack before spoiling.

Yeah but after a while in drying rack meat spoils.

Batteries would power an entire refrigerator?

I have read this but I have never even remotely run out of dried meat/fish on my rack. It is laden with meat/fish and I have never gotten sick from eating them. If they simply disappear then it is at such a slow rate that it is not noticeable at all for me.

A refrigerator requires more than electricity. Among other things it requires freon. It would be extremely contrived to put a workable one in game.

The most viable refrigeration method for the game would be a zeer pot. It's basically a small terracotta pot with a smaller terracotta pot inside it with a layer of wet sand in between the two pots and a cloth covering the top. It uses aeration to lower the temperature inside by as much as more than 10 degrees. On breezy island like the one in the Forest a large one could be used to prolong the shelf life of raw and cooked meat for a few days.

While really cool to learn about this and crafting one would add Alot to the survival feel, had I not stumbled upon this I would never have thought to try to make a zeer pot or known what it should be used for if I found one. I think for extended storage of food the best route (currently) I think would be the cooler idea as it would be more understood.

A really good idea there it would keep the realism of the game
