[Mod Request] Temperature filtered compactor options


Recommended Posts

Hi,

There is an issue with storing hot, cold materials now. There is no reason this has to be this micro intensive. If compactors had "filter" options like min-max temperature that would solve some problems.

Examples: 

- currently a dupe if stands nearby to a compactor that accepts igneus rock, and finds a task to haul 1000C igneus rock, he will store it where he stands, not where he finds the 1000C igneus rock, travelling through the asteroid 2 times and repeating forever. If I had option I would set the oil biome compactors to accept 80+C stuff and other compactors to <80C, breaking this cycle of idiotic dupe behaviour.

- if you run out of compactor space your hot material wouldnt be sent to compactors near your farms etc.

- cold granite from ice biomes could be utilized without flaw to cool stuff down.

- hot rocks could be fed to hatches that are ranched at a different location (with atmo suited ranchers)

- hot enough rocks could be automatically added to conveyors leading to steam turbine rooms

- hot / cold mafic rocks and regolith could be used differently, avoiding refeeding a heat exchange system with already used materials. 

 

If any of the modders could take this issue up that would be fantastic :)
