Please keep the Bearger fridge just how it is!


Recommended Posts

For those who don't know, the new portable fridge has 90% spoilage reduction for crock pot meals. I feel like once this like, actually hits for people, there may be a push for it to be tuned down, but I really really hope it stays the same. Newer foods like Barnacle Linguine and Figatoni are insanely good in the stats department but held back by their short spoilage times, but with a whopping 60 day spoilage time (so 30 days before going stale) in there, the portable fridge makes them REALLY stand up to the foods that are previously on top, and it would be a shame if such a thing was tuned down since it would really only heavily affect foods with short spoilage times like these.

I'm actually advocating for a modest buff so it accepts dried foods

Yeah, not only it encourages player to create new kinds of crock pot food combos, it also replaces the inventory food bundles. No more droping the food on the ground and no more constant rope crafting. It's easily one of my favorite items that ever got added.

I see this item as really balanced if regarding bundling wrap in general game balance too. 

Whereas bundling wrap requires killing BeeQueen which albeit very painful, can be done in the first year and requires easily acquired honey combs and ropes to keep food practically infinite.

The "Bearger Fridge" requires you to complete the painful Celestial Champ quest line, which may even require killing BeeQueen too, then possibly wait another year to get the "Bearger Fridge". While this item may save you rope and give you 6 slots, still spoils your food. Knowing from having bundles with stacks of Figatoni, I keep Figatoni in the bundle for several years so 60 days wouldn't be that much.

I see the best part about the "Bearger Fridge" is how it cooperates extremely well with bundles of short spoiling food. When I use my Figatoni/Barnacle Linguini/Ice Cream in combat or general use, even a few seconds out of the bundle means its short spoilage will creep it towards going stale sooner than later, often leaving me with me with stale food to bundle or making me quickly consume it quickly. With this new item I can unbundle my food, then not have to worry about it spoiling while I'm doing chores around the world, then bundle it up when I'm done with it. 

The "Bearger Fridge" is such a insanely good late-game QOL I didn't even know I needed, along with being fairly balanced.
