This is particularly useful when engaging in nomadic play styles, as not all gold is returned when hammering an Ice Box. If playing as Warly, crafting Chef Pouches can reduce or eliminate the need for an Ice Box.Because destroying an Ice Box returns 100% of Gears used in crafting, extra Gears can safely be used in crafting Ice Boxes without fear of losing non-renewable resources.The following items can be placed in an Ice Box:Īs food spoils faster in Summer in Reign of Giants, it is recommended that players put their food in the Ice Box to slow down the spoiling rate of food and help preserve food for Winter. Ice Boxes are easy to renew using Gears from Floaty Boaty Knights. A flooded Ice Box does not slow down the food spoilage rate although it can still be used as storage. In Shipwrecked DLC, an Ice Box can become flooded by Flooding. Unlike the Winter trap, opening or hammering the Ice Box or the Chest will have a chance to start Summer. It's distinguishable from the Winter one since it only spawns in a Desert Biome.

There is also a version of the Ice Box trap that starts Summer instead of Winter. In the Reign of Giants DLC, Ice Boxes become renewable due to the 1% chance of Gears dropping from Tumbleweeds. Crafting an Ice Box also costs one Cut Stone instead of Boards. In all DLCs, Ice, Hail, Ice Cubes, and Fashion Melons can be stored indefinitely in an Ice Box. If Winter was already in progress when the trap has been triggered, the progress will extend as if it were already around the first day of Winter. The player can safely demolish the Ice Box with a Hammer for its components, but demolishing the Chest can still trigger the trap. If the Chest next to the Ice Box is opened, Winter has a chance to immediately begin. When demolished by a Hammer or other means, it returns one Gear, Gold Nugget, and Board, along with any items stored in it. It cannot, however, contain the never spoiling types of food such as Mandrakes or Tallbird Eggs. Like a Chest, the Ice Box can hold up to 9 items or stacks of food type items. It requires 2 Gold Nuggets, a Gear, and a Board to craft and an Alchemy Engine to prototype. Items inside will spoil two times slower. The Ice Box is a Food Tab Structure used to store and preserve Food.
