Well that's mildly amusing.

I was placing a cooling unit to face the outside, but one square of rock remained that kept a 2-square area it vented into as indoors.

Temp in that small area hit over 300 F in seconds.

If only I could manually open doors for attackers, I could cook em to death....

I'm kinda wondering how best to cool (heating is less problematic) individual rooms assigned to colony members.
So far as I can tell, each room has it's own temperature, related in some way to the outside.

I had hoped that tunneling into the mountain would basically give me cave temperatures, but that does not appear to have worked...


At the moment I'm planning to put a cooling unit in the corridor wall of each individual room (I build them in rows), then add another cooling unit to the hallway that exhausts into the main base/outside.  However, obviously whatever heat those units pull out of the rooms will have to be cooled/transferred with the other unit(s), so I'm looking at a somewhat significant increase in power use here, to keep my colonists rooms comfortable (so they don't go crazy and kill each other and/or die).
