crbd115 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 So I'm playing on a modded world from the islands/empty world mod and a I had a question that I had never really had to think of before and I don't want to spend a ton of time testing in sandbox or debug if someone already knows the answer to this. Critters have a preferred temperature range but how is that affected by being in a vacuum, or is it unaffected? I've seen critters in a vacuum before besides the shove vole but long term does it matter?

Neotuck Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 It doesn't, but some critters eat atmosphere like slicksters and pufts so a vacuum could starve them Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/115955-question-about-ranching-in-vacuum/#findComment-1309899 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help. Vacuums are perfect insulators. So critters will maintain their body temps Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/115955-question-about-ranching-in-vacuum/#findComment-1309901 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know, it's possible a critter will exchange heat with consumables. This needs to be tested Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/115955-question-about-ranching-in-vacuum/#findComment-1309945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarquan Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I believe the critters do transfer heat with the ground, as would any materials. Air flow tiles should be used as the floor.

Air flow tiles should be used as the floor. Yep... feeding shove voles hot regolith dropped onto an airflow tile and in vacuum works great. They eat the hot regolith, and poop it out at their body temperature ( defaults to 20 C ).
