Something is off with the Dev Life Support

The dev life support building creates a 30C constant temperature around it. 

 

I would assume the game is not so happy when it has to calculate the same cell multiple times in order to give a temperature.

It sure is colorful though

But it doesn't create it. It modifies it by adding or substracting temperature. Else there shouldn't be these extremes.

My assumption of how wacky it gets, is that something is "divided by zero" at one point. I don't know how the code works but I think the sim can't apply multiple input temperature values at the same time in the same cell. It doesn't matter if it's the same temperature. But again that's just my assumption. Someone with "code knowledge" could explain what is happening a bit better 

If each building tries to equalize the surrounding temperature, but each will take the temperature at the beginning of the frame and apply something on top of that, rather than work with the result produced by the previous building, they will essentially multiply temperature differences and the more out of balance it gets, the higher the temperature differences will become.

first frame:
29 -> 30 = +1 diff
but 3 buildings do that = +3 diff
=> 29+3=32

next frame:
32 -> 30 = -2 diff
x3 => -6 diff
=> 32-6=26

and so on. The differences become larger each frame and will toggle between cold and hot constantly.

At least that's one theory.

Thats the same problem with conduction panel issues described py Peter Han here Sim cant work correctly with multiply temp  modifications
