Description
RimWorld Refrigeration is an attempt to add seamless long-time food storage to the game. It adds a refrigerator (along with a research project) which extends the shelf-time of prepared meals as long as the food is placed inside the refrigerator and the fridge is powered.

The refrigerator works as an ordinary storage spot, which lets colonists to place and take away meals without any extra player action required.

Awesome! I'll be sure to try this once I'm finished with my current colony. ^^

[kingqwerty]

Heck yeah! This is a dream come true.

I have been waiting to see this one show up. I never could quite get the code right. Very nice work

[eatKenny]

Well done, it's one of the "must have" mod

[Minus]

Was gonna post this as a suggestion, awesome to see someone's already done it!

[indiecosmic]

Thanks guys! I hope you'll like it. My first thought was that it should be a rather trivial mod to make, but when digging into how the food system works I changed my mind. I'm not surprised this haven't been done before. It took some "creative code" and a lot of Bernard Black to sort it out.

Noce work, you beat me to it. Gonna have a dig and see how you handled it.

Oh this is cool
There's been some demand for a mod like this atleast based on all the comments I've read about fridges!

[mrofa]

Thats a nice mode, just out of curiosity did you made some system to restore/set spoil time when food is take out from fridge or fridge is destroyed ?

Thank you! Yeah, when food is taken out from the fridge, or if the fridge loses power or is destroyed the spoil time will revert to its' original rate. I noticed I will need to balance it to behave more "realistic" though, right now it fluctuates a bit much. I'll post an update shortly.

I did some testing with this =P it instantly removes the spoiling time multiplier from the thing during solar flare or when it's turned off or destroyed by repeated lightning strikes

well.. I can't actually confirm the last one cause the food evaporated before the fridge died
But it was fun either way
Strike lightning tool is grape

aww! and ofcourse indiecosmis managed to reply first

[indiecosmic]

Feel free! Just give me a shout if you want me to explain the code, there are some parts in there which aren't very apparent if you haven't dug through the original meal code, looks a bit strange.

[indiecosmic]

When playing around I found a few issues I'll look into:

• Food left in the fridge while saving a game will be "refrozen", i.e. have another multiplier applied to it on load.
• The multiplier behaves a bit "unrealistic" right now, it will need some balancing to extend and shorten spoil times proportionally to the original meal state.

[indiecosmic]

Just made a new release which balances the multiplier a bit, and also adds saving and loading of refrigerator state to get around some minor bugs. This release should be backwards compatible as well.
