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.
+
The [[passive cooler]] is a low-tech alternative to the [[cooler]], a construction that absorbs heat from interior spaces at a rate of 19.8°F (11°C) per second. It does not require power or any advanced materials but will run out of fuel in 5 game days and must be restocked with 50 wood (the same as the build cost) to continue working.

=== 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}}}}.
+
Constructing a passive cooler requires [[Research#Passive cooler|Passive Cooler]] to be researched and a [[construction]] skill of 8. It requires {{Required Resources}} and is constructed in {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}}.
  
== Summary ==
+
=== Analysis ===
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 cannot lower the temperature below 17°C (63°F), so they cannot preserve food like electric coolers, but they can protect your colonists from extreme heat and prevent debuffs such as "Slept in the heat". They require research to be built, though tribal colonies start with the research already completed.
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 [[fermenting barrel|fermenting barrels]] from going bad during a [[Events#Solar_flare|solar flare]].
