RedistHeat

Description


Equalize temperature of every room
Build (lockable) vents to equalize temperature between adjacent rooms. Build massive duct networks of your own and make central heating/cooling system.

Better graphics
Vents and ducts can only be built over a wall, rather than acting as one. No longer clutter your fort's walls with one-cell vents. Small cooler and medium heater, which are also wall mounting, comes with this mod.

More tools
Big bases can use industrial scale heaters and coolers for effectively keeping its temperature.

General usage
The temperature buildings and the smart outlet have buttons to adjust the target temperature.

The duct intake tries to equalize the temperature between the duct network and the room it's placed taking heat/cold from the room and pushing it into the net.
The duct outlet and the smart outlet try to equalize them too, but taking the heat/cold from the network to the room. The difference between the normal and the smart outlet is that the smart closes itself automatically to keep a room at the desired temperature, and the normal does not.

The duct cooler cools the network down and expels heat in the room it's in.

Important
If you are installing this on an existing save you have to delete all vents/temperature buildings first. Even then it's possible that the duct network doesn't behave correctly.
If upgrading to v44a from previous versions you probably will have to start a new colony.

CCL dependency removed, the mod has lost its Mod Help but it should be compatible with most walls

Current version
v44a

Issues
Please report any.

Ok dumb question, I have my ducts but they all have the little lightning bolt indicating there is no power...

Really need that duct heat pump to work better. I'm still not clear on why it's necessary to use room air to circulate instead of just taking heat/cold into the ducts straight off the heater/cooler.

Wow, since the vanella cooler is treated like a wall, you can install both that and the small wall cooler in the same square.

This was one of my favorite mods. Really hoping to see it get updated someday.

Is there an ETA on the A17 update? Currently useing The A16 on A17 unstable but only things that work are the coolers and maybe a small heater. Havnt taken the time to fully test everything.
The vents and medium heater are hit and miss if they can be built the active vent dont seem to function at all.

Just found out last nigh that RImworld got an update to A16, and as much as I want to play I might just hold out till RedistHeat is available for A16, I don't think I know how to play without it, lol. Thanks a bunch for your dedication to the community!

Yes, the next release will have the ductwork disabled until I finish it
