Thank you for the report! As the item's description indicates, the Aetheric Ice Cooler indeed only *refrigerates* but not does *freeze* food.

Eorzeans' lack of access to actually freezing food is meant to be offset by their easy access to Travel Rations, which are meals that last a significant amount of time even without refrigeration. However, as with all aspects of this mod, I am open to feedback and can definitely change things up if people feel that it makes early-to-mid game food supplies too difficult to work with.

I should also note that a proper freezing system will likely be added deeper into the tech tree as well, so stay tuned for that as well!

Alright, I misunderstood then. Thanks for the response!

Perhaps a line of aetheric science that taps into primals for an increased effect of their respectively related aether? So could tap into the ice element at a small risk of spawning Shiva.
