Ambient heat dissipation thru space

[Taisong]

As of now, the game has many ways to gain heat, but has few ways to remove heat. Some of them are downright buggy and feels weird (water sieve, im talking about you), and some of them are kinda... underwhelming in comparison. hydrogen anti-entropy stuff is powerful, but it is not strong enough to treat all the heat produced by the matter around them.

 

I propose the effect "space exposure" to be able to slowly dissipate heat from the matter around them. Very slowly though.

I agree. Just like the magma biome is a source of heat, the space biome should be a source of cold.

there is 1 atom of hydrogen per cubic meter in space so yes the dissipation will be slow

Well yeah, space should dissipate heat, and somewhat quickly too because... ambient temperature of space is extremely low (−270.45 °C). Even though hydrogen in real space is really low in volume, you got to remember that it has the higher heat exchange rate than a lot of other gas. So, space should cool things down, but at rate you would have another problem containing heat in colony if you don't pay attention.

It dissipate heat not via heat exchange, but via radiation(black body radiation, IR). So object will lose temperature even in perfect vacuum.

Yeah, I forgot to consider that. But if you take that to consideration, it would cool your colony even faster. The fact that ambient temperature of space is extreme low is still valid after all.  So it would take so long before all heat in upper station vent out to cold void of space.
