The Refrigerator is a craftable structure that slows the spoilage rate of food and other perishable items stored inside it. Admins use it to set up bases or testing areas without waiting for food to rot, and to understand how food preservation mechanics affect server gameplay and player logistics.
Place it like any other structure after crafting or spawning. Items stored inside spoil more slowly than they would in inventory or a standard storage container. Since it has a numeric item ID, you can spawn it either by its ID (193) or its GFI code, both work identically with the standard spawn syntax.
