How to Get a Cooler Box in Palworld

The Cooler Box is a crucial item to have around since it provides extra storage space for your resources with reduced chances of spoiling quickly. It is great for storing food, medicine, and the like. Piling up supplies for large travel sessions or simply keeping your camp well-stocked with necessary provisions, a Cooler Box is a lifesaver.
Let me show you how to get this Cooler Box, its uses, and some exploits or hidden tricks.
What Is the Cooler Box?
The Cooler Box is a piece of equipment in Palworld that, when placed on top of a perishable item, will greatly reduce that item’s decay rate. In other words, it works like a chiller, and the chances of the items getting spoilt by being left in the open or without proper care in storage are far off.

- Essential for Farming: If you are a farmer in Palworld, possessing a cooler box means that harvested crops will not rot when stored with this item.

- Upgrade Your Cooler Box
Throughout the game, you will be able to level up your Cooler Box, which is used to store your items., the higher level of the invented can store more items or expand the time of preservation even more. Always be on the lookout for new blueprints or crafting upgrades that increase the space available for storage.
