Ice Box?

[CyberBatty7]

What do I need to get it to work?

you don't need cold weather.

So you have 2 ways, in a cold region yes you can place it outside to generate Ice, but also if you're in a hot area, you need to build it inside a house (with the roof icon showing) as then it'll be insulated and won't be affected by the outside as much, but to "turn it on" need nothing, just walk up to it and active it in a hot or cold area and it'll generate ice. In a colder Area it'll increase the rate it makes ice.

i think it needs -5 celsius degree to produce ice.

"An Ice Box can be placed in any region but will NOT produce ice in an Equatorial Region. "

Area Cooling
The Ice Box has an “active” mode that will drain ice and reduce the surrounding temperature (reverse fire). It consumes less ice if indoors.

You can use Ice in it, lower it, then it'll generate. Only place you can't do that trick is in the 8's

Tons of people have tested this WAY before us, even people who spend hours to find the "Sweet" spots on a islands, as you can hot H as you walk around an Island and you'll see it's C's will be different in about ever chunk. You can Test this yourself if you want, just hold H and walk around in a Hot area and you'll watch it go up and down 1 spot will be "hot" an other won't. You can find sweetspot, build there , it'll become a Static number and help you generate in other zones
