Refrigerators

[Cidergis]

Now I would like to put forward a new idea because i dont want to be know just for my previous idea which i admit was not all that great. How ever a good freind and i believe that we have a idea. Where not sure if a similar idea has been put forward but we would like to propose

Refrigirators

it seems strange that you can put a pork chop in a dusty old chest for weeks on end and open the chest and its still edible. you would think that it would be some what moldy. So along with the inspiration of the Hammer machine idea i recently read it would be like a multi block machine. the bottom part would be the radiator which would require mechanical power and to give you a reason to keep tending to it you would haft to periodicly refill it with snow or ice you made in the machine. the top part would be the ice box which you can store the food in which similar to that of a cauldron it would count down and the food would be frozen. Frozen food would haft to be thawed in a cauldron then you could eat it. how ever the upside to freezing food is that it can be stacked up to 64 for storage reasons. so if you where on a long journey you could bring a stack of porkchop , a furnace and some coal and thaw the food as you need it thus giving you a way to carry all your food with out being over powered.

To make it difficult to get at first you would need to go find snow which would require some exploration. but then you could make ice blocks with water buckets this way you could perpetuate the process but it would still require work. both ice blocks and snow blocks could be used to give coolant to the radiator.

Well...it's another "1.8 says 'sup" suggestion. We're already getting stackable food in one form or another in the adventure update (to counteract hunger) so specialised methods of doing so would be outdated before it's even done. After that...Steve has only just invented pottery and crude automatic bellows, where refrigeration requires *slightly* more advanced technology; nothing in the vMC world of magical explanations exists to explain things getting colder.

Last but not least, the ability to make ice-blocks would replace current methods of item transport, which is something FC has explicitly stated that he doesn't want to do anytime soon.

...wasn't there another freezer suggestion a while back as well?

I have to say I don't like this idea. But to make it more BTW maby have the fridge run on mechanical energy and not require ice but some kind of refrigerant gas . this would need a fully steal body and would require pork chops to go off to be of any use so i cant see it happening sorry

I am not sure if there was a refrigerator idea previousley but i wouldnt be suprised and i guess your right the 1.8 kinda changes everything. so i kinda feel like we cant really do a whole lot until the new patch comes out. and again your right the techtree would haft to progress a littel further until it would make a whole lot of since. again stromweaver you are the voice of logic. I belive that refrigerators may have a place but much later maybe.

It's been suggested before and FC shot it down.

Stormweaver raises a good point about 1.8. And about FC not being to keen on the whole Refrigerator/Freezer block idea in the first place. I think he may have even mentioned it in his recent interview with Blithen. I'll try and find those threads where this idea has been put forth before and Edit or Post back with a link.
[Edit - Yeah, never mind. FC just isn't down with this avenue of tech.]

thanks that would be nice i like to be corrected so that i might learn from my mistakes. and i NEED to see the interview i still havnt heard it yet in fact i think ill do that right now.

This one was the latest rehashing of the idea.
