New Tech: Insulation ---> Thermodynamics (vents and high pressures are survived now)

[Developous]

Feature #1: Heat conductor: Costs coal and electricity to power. Instead of using a difficult process of recycling the air, this device manually changes the temperature to a value you desire, within a given range of options. Moderately powerful and takes up little space as well.

Feature #2: Thermic Turbines: In extreme hot and cold environments, this generator will produce up to 600 energy. Surprisingly, it takes no resources in order to maintain, but requires high maintenance to use. You can also attach it to a steam geyser to produce a whopping 3000 energy as well, but that will destroy this turbine after just 3 days of use - guaranteed!

Feature #3: Blast Furnace: Accumulates all the heat in the present environment, but belches massive supplies of co2. Requires coal to operate. In exchange, this device physically and thermally insulates the thermodynamic walls and doors of everything within the room it's in. This means that not only are those walls and doors are much stronger vs outside pressures, but heat is majorly trapped within the room. An extremely powerful temperature regulator, but difficult to build and needs rare resources.

Feature #4: Thermodynamic Walls: A heavily insulated wall that you can choose which direction the heat and gas content flows, and makes those walls much more able to handle extreme pressures, but only in conjecture to feature #2. Only this kind of wall benefits from the blast furnace. In addition, doors connected to this wall benefits from feature #2. Requires Abyslite or Gold Amalgam resources to build. 

Feature #5: Heat Valves: The heat version of those usual valves pretty much, nothing special here. Useful if you want to direct heat and cold in a more developed fashion, but that depends on your plans.

#1 - This sounds more like a thermostat.

#2 - Doesn't seem plausible.

#3 - Doesn't make sense. Is this a room or a machine?

#4 - So this is a mix of insulated and two-way permeable tile?

#5 - Gas and liquid are states of matter. Heat is not. How can you direct the temperature without first directing the gas or liquid?

Appreciate your suggestions, but hard to take 100% seriously when you've admitted that you haven't even played the game yet. Trust me, watching videos of someone else playing and playing yourself give you decidedly different opinions of what is useful. It's like listening to somebody pitch a Superman movie who has never actually read a comic book - there's a lot of keywords that sort of apply to the topic but not much of it is making a lot sense.

1: The difference is the conductance. Thermostats only read the temperature, this one actually applies it.

2: Think about geothermal power plants. Exact same concept. But the difference is that it accommodates a wider range of options in this situation, so it's tech level is a step higher. However, there's a price tag to balance that factor out.

At this level of tech, that generator isn't a pure geothermal, it just applies the basics of thermodynamics, much on the level of understanding refrigerators and geothermal plants, but not quite ready for that step, but extremely close to achieving that. A real geothermal, in this case, would give another 500 energy, and last a lot longer, but would require heavy maintenance.

3: Machine, affecting a room, applied to a special wall.

4: In a sense, yes. It takes sealing to a higher level, letting you regulate things internally much better. Combined with 3, the base can definitely stand really high pressures. I'll leave others to decide the side-effects, based on gasses, with different pressure values, but it will definitely be complicated and challenging to factor this as the values increase over time.

5: The more advanced concepts of thermodynamics is to regulate heat in an advanced physical or chemical process. While this takes a HUGE amount of energy, and is very slow even for the machine, the bigger advantage, just like thermodynamics, is that these valves can handle much higher extremes of pressure. This relates to #2 in application, taking the concepts involved with those plants, and upgrading such.
