Make heat dissipate to the environment


Recommended Posts

I'm sure that this has been suggested, must be. 
I bought the game only yesterday and registered today so excuse me not to be in the loop.

 

Basically currently there doesn't seem to be any way for heat to actually dissipate. Which means that the environment will just keep warming up constantly, no matter what. If you have ever had to spend time time underground you'd know that the biggest problems are keep warm and keeping the humidity down. The environment has a constant temperature of +22 Celsius and upwards. 

And when it comes to cooling down there is just methods which generate even more heat, at the end of the day that is.

What I have read the temperature is really new thing so it is going to get tweaked(?).

I'd suggest to drop the base temp. down to about 4-12 Celsius and add a stress penalty to the clones for being in too cold. Make keeping up a temperature a challenge.

If you installed the preview update there is now ice blocks. Also " biggest problems are keep warm and keeping the humidity down" doesn't apply if you're deep down, the deeper you are the hotter it gets.

Actually it does, to a certain point. Earth heating is a thing, but so is earth cooling, it is the same thing just depends on where we put the heat.
It depends on how deep you are and what you are surrounded with. Heat will still go up and radiate off the surface. Water and gasses when heated will go up to cool on the surface. Even the very core of a planet moves around to cool.  Heat will always radiate away.  

But even if we go with your logic, then the ground earth above me should be cooler than where I start from, but it isn't it is about 20 Celcius hotter. 

The further you go to any direction in the game, the hotter it seems to get. Which doesn't make any sense.

Yeah but you have to agree digging a hole down 10+ KM is going to be so hot that any natural cooling wouldn't matter to a person. But yeah the game's heating doesn't really make sense unless you're on a asteroid in space and it gets hotter outwards cuz thats where the sun hits. But then having magma at the bottom doesn't make sense at all. Nor does having random pockets of ice.
