On that note, could there be a possible "upgrade" to generators once thermal management is researched? The addition of auto water cooling hot things? As the convection issue stands, as well as the idle coal gen still producing heat, I might answer my own question and say that it would probably be easier to hotfix than add a new mechanic.

I thought it was implemented when I saw a big pillar of hottness created from a very hot stack of copper (destroyed a overheated coal generator) but then I noticed that ice does the same and that gases don't move, they just transfer the heat.

Begeesy Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Convection is already implemented if pressure increases as temperature does in ONI since that causes convection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckubis Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'm cooling the o2 not the co2 can get o2 safely to -100c. the cold o2 cools the co2 to less than -50 making liquid co2 to drip on coal generators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckubis Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 keeps generators at a frigid -40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collic Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Following some of the advice in this thread I've used the water cooling solution. I've been lazy/ greedy and packed the top two gens in quite close which has raised all the temps, but the principle works fine. With gold generators they stay well within the operating temperate (and with only only two or three in the space, they stay no higher than 50c at worst, so suitable for copper). The recent update has doubtlessly made this easier, but you do still need to cool them somehow, which I think is fine really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpy Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Why can't we run pipes behind generators to cool stuff, but we have to sprinkle water everywhere like savages! Need heat sink pipes, exact opposite of insulated pipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
