Description[]

The Cryo Chamber is a functional Block, colloquially also called Cryo Pod. On multiplayer servers, it enables faster player load locations and provides a safer spawn point on any powered grid it is built on. It will make the client load that very specific location first, speeding up the render distance and location of player's engineer.

The Cryo Chamber does not restore health, so use it in tandem with a  Medical Room or  Survival Kit. The small variant was added in Version/1.191.0 and an airtight version exists in the Inset Cryo Room.

Construction[]

On large grid, they take up 1x1x1 LG blocks and on small grid it's 3x3x4 SG blocks. It attaches to blocks on all sides. The LG Cryo Chamber has one large conveyor door on the back, and the small one has one small port on the back and two small ports on the bottom. Here you connect the Cryo Chamber to a filled oxygen supply. Cryo Chambers must be built on a powered grid to work.

Status Indicators[]

  • Red lights mean it's unpowered and not ready
  • Green lights mean it's powered and ready to be used
  • Blue lights mean it's powered and occupied

Mechanics[]

While in the Cryo Chamber, the player consumes less oxygen, their suit is automatically replenished from the oxygen supplied to cryo chamber, their hydrogen supply is replenished, and their suit energy is restored.

Additionally, the Cryo Chamber serves as a safer place to log out in multiplayer, because the player's inventory and toolbar settings are saved. It should be noted, however, that during a log out inside a Cryo Chamber, that their Engineer is still "alive" and still consumes Oxygen, albeit slowly.

Another critical point regarding Cryo Chambers is that if they are not personally owned by the player who created it; the hibernating Engineer inside will be thrown out and killed if another player chooses to enter the same Cryo Chamber.

Finally, the Cryo Chamber can be inhabited by a player when there is no power on the Large grid it is attached to, and it will not kill the player until their oxygen supply has run out.
