The '''passive cooler''' is a low-tech alternative to the [[cooler]]. It does not require power or any advanced materials, but requires wood to refuel.

== Acquisition ==
Constructing a passive cooler requires [[Research#Passive cooler|Passive Cooler]] to be researched, which both [[Scenario_system#New_Tribe_vs_New_Arrivals|New Tribe]] and [[Scenario_system#New_Tribe_vs_New_Arrivals|New Arrivals]] start with. It requires {{Required Resources}} and is constructed in {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}}.

== Summary ==
Passive coolers absorb heat from interior spaces at a rate of {{Temperature|11||delta}} per second, spread among each tile. They cannot lower the temperature below {{Temperature|17}}. In order to do so, passive coolers consume {{Icon Small|wood}} 10 [[wood]] per day; they must be restocked at a cooler's full cost every 5 days.

== Analysis ==
Passive coolers are unable to preserve food, but they can protect your colonists from [[heatstroke]] and prevent debuffs such as "Slept in the heat". Unlike [[campfire]]s, passive coolers can't be "too efficient" and make your pawns uncomfortably cold.

They are very fuel inefficient, even compared to running coolers on [[Wood-fired_generator|wood-fired generators]]. However, they have the great advantage of not needing electrical power to function. As such, they will save your [[beer]] in a [[Events#Solar_flare|solar flare]].

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.15.1279|0.15.1279]] - Added.
* [[Version/0.19.2009|0.19.2009]] - no longer self-destructs when it runs out of fuel but instead waits to be restocked.
* [[Version/1.0.0|1.0.0]] - No longer requires Construction skill to craft.
* [[Version/1.1.0|1.1.0]] - Refueling is now toggleable.
* ? New Arrivals start with Passive Cooler researched.
