Feeling Frustrated

These "monkey wrenches" are what keeps the game playable. All Wheezeworts and Nullifiers in the map are nothing compared to heat produced by a single Steam Geyser. Machines resetting temperature to set values are the main intended means of getting rid of that heat and they're balanced so they don't make it too easy for the player.

But isn't that the point I, and now I guess we, are making.  Wheezeworts and nullifiers aren't enough to handle a single steam geyser.  So why not?  I mean, that is a decision the devs made right?  So, if you are going to allow buildings to magically delete heat (which I am fine with BTW), EXPLAIN IT!  If the solution the devs are giving is certain buildings do that, than tell us.  

I cant figure out why they would not advertise it if it was the purpose of these buildings.

Look, I'm no chemist, but I work in hazmat and I have a pretty good grasp of basic chemistry.  One element that is missing from this game is the power of pressure in heat transfer.  HVAC and refrigerators all use a compressor to "push" the heat out as it compresses the vapor into a liquid by pressure.  That same process in reverse, allowing the liquid to expand back to a vapor, is what allows it to take all the heat out of the environment.  If you want an example, lick the back of your hand and blow on it.  The reason it is colder where it is wet is because the water in your saliva is absorbing the heat from your skin as it evaporates (liquid to gas).

All that to say, this is a game.  It isn't real life.  I'm not asking for it to be logical by real life standards.  I mean, that is impossible.  The complexities of real existence are MASSIVE!  I'm just asking that as the devs make these rules they would explain them.
