Hi
I noticed that after Rad update a lot of my Volcanoes processing structures stopped working properly.
The thing is, while the whole environment was cooling down by the steam turbine, the metal chunk itself was not cooling until submerged into liquid or gas (The structure is placed in vacuum to handle the temperatures). So I created a new sandbox world and performed a set of experiments.
Turns out the problem was in tempshift plate. For some odd reason, if there was a tempshift plate behind a hot chunk of material - that chunk will not be heating up the solid block it it laying on. I only tested it with mechanized airlock, as it was my case in actual game. It is possible any solid block will behave the same.
Preconditions
1) Vacuum (space will do)
2) Two sets of mechanized steel airlocks (Like on termium planetoid in the savefile)
3) One set have steel tempshift plates on top, the other one doesn't
Steps to reproduce:
1) Using sandbox or debugging tools drip 200kg of liquid gold on them (The mass should be not too big, so chunks of material will form, not the solid blocks)
2) Check the gold chunks temperature dynamic
Expected results: Both of chucks will exchange heat with the mechanized airlock they are on top of.
Actual result: The chunk in front of tempshift plate does not exchange heat.
