Air conditioning

Dubwise edited this page Sep 24, 2019 · 5 revisions

The mod includes a multi-split air conditioning system, it is similar in function to the central heating when it comes to pipes and capacity, it basically behaves like a vanilla AC unit but with the cold end and the hot end split, you have an outdoor unit which you place... outdoors, this provides cooling capacity and has a power setting. Then you pipe it to multiple freezer units which can be placed inside of, or as walls for... freezers these have thermostats in a range for freezing food. There are also indoor units which you place... indoors, they are used for general room cooling and have a smaller thermostat range than freezers and have a much smaller capacity. The outdoor units will lose efficiency in hot weather like standard rimworld AC units, but this can be disabled in the mod options.

The cooling capacity is a simple percentage, the blue bars that are visible on each indoor unit or freezer when selected show the total percent of cooling capacity that is available, so just turn up the power on the outdoor unit then add more until those blue bars are full on all of your coolers, or you can reduce the capacity if the weather is mild to save a bit of power.

There are also ceiling fans which behave like a powered version of the passive coolers, they will attempt to cool a room to 20c and have no settings, the speed that the fan is spinning shows how hard its working, they also include a built in lamp.
