DColonyCantHandleMe Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I put ice next to a coal generator that's melting down... I was surprised to see the generator melt faster than ice... I mean... Yeah... Weird... By the way the temp of the Ice does not go down in a red hot temp environment... probably should have mentioned that first. I get that Temperature rises faster than it decreases but i think that heat transfer from 150°C CO2 to a small ball of ice should be faster than .0000001°C/sec (exaggeration but may as well be true) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/76589-coal-generator-melting-faster-than-ice/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radax3 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Your "small" ball of ice wheights 12,3 tons. You need a lot of heat to melt it.

tehMugwump Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Latest update has coal generators taking a lot longer to overheat, so that should help. I had a room packed with ice and my coal generator still overheated. To get in on the latest build releases: right click on your game in Steam, go do Properties, then select the BETAS tab. Pick thermal_upgrade_preview from the list. WARNING: Existing (games saved regular, not thermal_upgrade_preview) save games will not load.

heckubis Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 placement of the ice is also an issue. build a storage compactor or 3 directly above it fill them with ice drop them on the platform above the generator then destroy the platform Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/76589-coal-generator-melting-faster-than-ice/#findComment-888967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
