A deployable freezer for your base. Run it on a truck battery or plug it into a generator, fill it with food, and it freezes everything inside so nothing spoils.

• Stops food spoiling. Everything inside is chilled to -10°C and frozen, and frozen food doesn't decay.
• Runs on a truck battery for about four days, or for as long as you like when plugged into a generator or a Demo_Power battery bank.
• Only draws power with food inside. An empty freezer uses nothing.
• Food and drink only. 10x10 of space.
• Ships as a kit. Place the boxed kit to deploy it, and pack it back up with a screwdriver.

Items

The freezer is repaired with an Electronic Repair Kit or a Blowtorch.

Getting started

1. Take the Freezer Kit in your hands and place it. The kit becomes a Freezer.
2. Power it, either way:
   • attach a charged Truck Battery in its Battery slot, or
   • plug it in. It has a 15 m cord and plugs into a Power Generator, a Cable Reel, or a Demo_Power battery bank or power strip. The source must be switched on.
3. Look at the door and use Open Door.
4. Put your food inside. The freezer hums while it's working.
5. Use Close Door if you like. The freezer cools with the door open or closed.

A freshly placed freezer has its door closed.

Freezing

Every 5 seconds, while the freezer has power:

• everything inside warmer than -10°C is cooled toward -10°C.
• anything below 0°C freezes. Frozen food doesn't spoil. Food that's already rotten stays rotten.

Taking food out clears its frozen state.

What fits

• Anything you can eat or drink: food, cans, bottles, canteens.
• Tools, clothing, weapons and everything else are refused.
• The door has to be open to put food in or take it out.

Power

The freezer only uses power while there's something inside. Empty, it draws nothing and stays silent.

• Truck Battery: a full one lasts about 4 days of continuous freezing. Only a Truck Battery fits the slot.
• Plugged in: the freezer draws from the plug first and only touches the battery if the plug has nothing to give. Its draw is tiny next to a Power Generator's own fuel use.
• Both: attach a battery and plug it in, and the battery is a backup. If the generator runs dry or is switched off, the battery takes over.
• With no power, the freezer stops cooling and the food inside warms back up like anywhere else.

Moving and packing up

• Picking it up: take the battery off and unplug it first. A powered freezer can't be picked up. Carried in first person, the freezer is hidden from your own view so it doesn't fill the screen. Other players still see it in your hands.
• Food stays inside while you carry it.
• Packing up: take the battery off and empty the freezer. Then take a Screwdriver in your hands, look at the freezer and use Dismantle Freezer. The freezer turns back into a Freezer Kit on the ground. The screwdriver isn't used up.

Keeping it

The freezer is an ordinary item, so like any other it disappears after a while if nobody's around. Place it within range of a Territory Flag to keep it.
