Hello!
I noticed a bug while testing a heater setup in God-Mode; The Geothermal generators once enclosed with walls and roof, will become 'outside'
Tested this with god-mode on, on different maps (one ice one desert) and with different blocks (slate and wood). as soon as there is a 'free space' between the Geothermal Generator and the wall, it will become inside and thus heat-up, the walls have to 'direct-touch' the generator for the bug to occur.
The Geothermal Generator only needs 1 tile free between a wall and itself; it can be entirely enclosed but for one wall and the bug will not trigger.

Wonder if that is by design, but just not documented? I would guess it is intended, else the heat would have no where to go. Would love to hear an official word on this.
Does sound logical.. explosions however are more .. expected .. instead of -52 degrees on an ice sheet :)

The problem is that we only simulate temperature in passable cells. If the geothermal generator is enclosed like this, then there's no way to calculate its temperature. I think it's ok for now, it's an edge case. Thanks for reporting.
