Radiators *updated*

[vonVile]

With the addition of over heating equipment there needs to be radiators. I've been trying to work with the Water Filtration machine on the TU build, but the second you put power to it its already at Scalding, which it shouldn't do. I even shut it down to see if I could cool it down, but it stays hot and again something it shouldn't do. I even experimented and built it in a Vacuum and its a bit cooler just below Scalding. I'm sure its going to breakdown after 1 Cycle and break again 1 second later after repeated repairs.

The only thing I can think of is to add radiators to cool high heat producing machinery down.

I've been looking up info on how to make antifreeze and think I figured out a way to include it through making Glycerol, which is made through plant or animal matter. When it comes to animal matter you have to tallow it and rendering the fat of the animal, which is called Suet. After tallowing the animal to gain the fat, it can be used to make antifreeze or biodiesel. So when you kill a Hatch instead of just eating it you could use it's meat to make Glycerol.

You can drip water over machinery to cool it (it must be dripped0), at least according to one youtuber.

The Water Filter has been cooling down in the vacuum, so that claim was wrong even it its very slow.

I'll try that if I can't get the Water Filter to work in the vacuum. I had it built, but the Dupes wouldn't go anywhere near it. I rebuilt it one tile higher because I though they couldn't get close enough to the drop off point from a corner. After it was done they still wouldn't go near it. It wasn't until I reloaded a save that the game showed a big tile of dirt saying the machine was blocked in. I'll remove it and see if they start to use it and if it doesn't over heat.

I always place my machinery in ice biome, it cant stop complete overheating but it will slow it down by a large amount. So far havent found any other more suitable solution. You can also try placing storage container with (ice) only in it, just make sure it has somewhere to drip.

I currently only barely see 2 ice biomes at the edges of my visible map. That's going to take a heck of a lot of pipes and wiring.

Lol, atleast 1/6 of my map is covered in ice biomes, i also found a geyser which you could try to do, it produces loads of water, but you need a way to cool it, and make sure it is contained otherwise it will eat your map.

Pipe the water through the ice biome and ....
