What the Snowman Does
The Snowman is a passive efficiency structure: while one is placed in your base, all cooling work at that base is faster. It doesn't need power, doesn't need a pal assigned to it, and doesn't need to sit next to your coolers — simply having it anywhere in the base radius applies the bonus. It also happens to be one of the cheapest structures in the family to build.
How to Use It
- Unlocked at level 33 in the technology tree for 2 technology points.
- Build exactly one per base. As the in-game description says, placing more than one has no additional effect.
- It must be placed within your base's radius to count.
- Cooling is what keeps food-storage structures like the Cooler Box and Refrigerator running, along with cooling-based production like the Cryogenic Crusher.
Tips
The Snowman is one of a family of one-per-base efficiency boosters, each covering a different work type. It's a natural fit for a food-focused base, where the Flame Cauldron speeds up the cooking and the Snowman speeds up keeping the results fresh. Given its low material cost, there's little reason not to drop one at any base with a pal on cooling duty.
