silverbluep Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I have been thinking about space layouts, and i see everyone submerges the miners and sweepers in liquid to cool them in space. I was thinking about building them on top of glass tiles. Do the buildings exchange heat with the glass tiles that they touch in vacuum?

Lurve Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 They ought to, but they do not. You need a little liquid or gas in the same tile to get heat transfer.

In particular, it seems that auto-miners do not.

There are no buildings exchanging heat with blocks they're built on. At all. To our sorrow. Now i cool my "hanging" autominers down using oxygen periodically.

Does gantry need to be cooled down? I thought it doesn't. 3 hours ago, silverbluep said: I wonder if radiant pipes would work . . . Radiant pipes in vacuum don't work. They need some medium in the environment to interact with. I just dispense oxygen near my autominers. It's enough for steel ones to be not overheated. Tested for 50+ cycles. Though i believe hydrogen is better for the purpose.

I use CO2 exhaust from my powerplant for this along with many other things..
