Adds a bag that keeps your food so fresh and so cool.

Hey ya! Hey ya! You've seen the Cooler bag and felt a deep treason in your fragile heart, realising you were not able to store fresh food in it.. You've come to the right place.

How to keep your food cool ?

  • Gather a garbage bag some duct tape and water.
  • Right click on any of those items and select Make Water Pocket.
  • Put the pocket in the freezer.
  • Wait for 12 hours (It's the 90's guys). It turns into an Ice Pocket.
  • Put the Ice Pocket in a cooler (change it every 24hours).
  • You can change the need for ice pockets from mod options or sandbox options.

Where is my cooling bag ?

  • The cooler is a vanilla rare item found with other camping and fishing items.
  • If you activate Eggon's Modding Utils, cooler will also appear among hunters and fishermen's loots.
  • Lunchbox now has cooling capability.

[h1]Limitations[/h1] (to be improved upon)

  • Food items put in the cooler are cooling instantly.
  • Food items removed from the cooler may retrieve ambient temperature instantly.
  • Water Pockets directly on ground do not freeze in winter (you need to put them in a container).
  • Frozen items unfreeze too fast in the cooler (they do like normal container, they should do like fridges).
  • "Sometime" pockets freeze when outside temperature is below 0 (depends on vanilla update behaviour).
  • In case of mismatch between client and server with B41 Multiplayer, Follow the steps here.
  • Some ice / water pocket state changes may not trigger at the right time. Putting the cursor on them will trigger the update.

Also

  • Can be added to / removed from existing saves.
  • Multiplayer compatible.

You are a modder and want to add the cooling capability to your fancy bag or furniture ?

Just add the following code in your lua file.

require "coolbag"
Coolbag.addCoolerContainerType("MyFancyTypeName");

Note that if the capacity of the bag or furniture is between 10 and 20kg, you will need 2 Ice Pockets (one pocket per 10kg, ceiling).
