Two or three Coolers should be sufficient to keep a moderately-sized freezer below 0C in even the hottest biomes, preserving the food inside for as long as the Coolers receive electricity. This research unlocks access to Coolers, electrical devices that require RimWorld's Components and can be fitted into walls to maintain a low temperature in the room they're facing into. This is similar to the system which helps keep colonists in a good mood by providing them with enclosed bedrooms to sleep in.įor a more sophisticated freezer, and one that can function in any biome, players will have to have completed the Air Conditioning research. The food will also deteriorate, a separate process from rotting, unless a vent or forced-open door is used to connect the room to the outside instead of an empty space. The cheapest way to build a refrigerator is to simply create a room that is open to the outside, though this only works when the biome temperature has dropped below 10C. Any food that is stored in a room below 0C will freeze, preventing it from spoiling indefinitely.Īs items are stored on the ground or on shelves in RimWorld, players will have to build a walk-in refrigerator/freezer to preserve their food. Any food stored in a room that is between 10C and 0C will spoil more slowly, with the preserving effect increasing as the temperature approaches 0. If you dont check fertilized eggs in the storage of your fridge, theyll get stuck there and die eventually. For these players, and any who'd prefer to stock large amounts of Meals, the best option for preserving food in RimWorld is refrigeration. Some players will be more reliant on meat than crops to fulfill their RimWorld colonists' need for food, generally those who can't grow a lot due to poor soil fertility, extreme biome temperatures, or colonists with poor Growing skills. This is because once a meal has been cooked, it will only take 4 days to spoil, no matter how long its ingredients would have lasted raw, and no matter whether the cook has the worst or best traits in RimWorld. Should support pretty much all food-adding mods, so long as they use the foods category.

This patch also makes its RimFridge dependency optional instead of required. Wall based RimFridges come in 1x1 and 2x1 versions. It supports the following fridge-adding mods: JDS Simple Storage Refrigeration. Floor based RimFridges come in 1x1, 2x1 and 2x2 versions. Ideal for use in dining rooms, freeing up labor from feeding prisoners, or keeping food on hand for cooks.

When using these long-lasting foods, it's important to only cook enough Meals for the next 1 or 2 days at a time. Im trying to keep indoors at -19, but it seems like vents are never good enough to really equalize the temperature even if they very nearly replace the walls separating the room, and if I try to use a series of coolers then Id again almost need to build the walls out of them by the time I reached the outside. Adds refrigerated racks to keep food and other perishables cold. Corn, Raw Fungus, Potatoes, and Rice will all last over a month at room temperature, making them ideal choices to fill a larder. The simplest way to preserve food stocks in RimWorld is to focus on foodstuffs that have a particularly long shelf life.
