Ice Box

The Ice Box is used to store and preserve Food.

Edible items stored in an Ice Box will last twice as long before spoiling. It requires 2 Gold Nuggets, 1 Gears, and 1 Boards to build plus an Alchemy Engine to prototype. Like a Chest, the Ice Box can hold up to 9 items or stacks of items. It can be demolished by a Hammer or by the Deerclops, which will cause it to drop half of the items used in its construction.



Usage
The following items can be placed in an Ice Box: Note that Pig Skins, Rot,Deerclops Eyeballs,Rotten Eggs and Tallbird Eggs do not rot, so the only reason to put them in the ice box is to prevent mobs from eating while on the floor (same effect as a chest).
 * Any Food items
 * Petals or Dark Petals
 * Garland
 * Ham Bat
 * Pig Skin
 * Tallbird Egg or Rotten Egg
 * Rot
 * Deerclops Eyeball

As food spoils faster in Summer, it is recommended players put their food in the Ice Box to slow down the spoiling rate of food and help preserve food for Winter.

Trivia

 * Before the A Little Rain Must Fall Update, building an Ice Box did not require Gears, but used Cut Stone instead.
 * In the SetPieces Icebox Trap, (finding an ice box in the wild) when opened, will start Winter in your world.
