Uncontrolable temperature increase

[Feniks]

So I was playing a game today and this is what happened.

Fire started in my crops room and temperature was increasing uncontrollably reaching over 1300C  here is the image I'm not sure if that is what how it should be. I was unable to stop a fire as anyone going in the room was immediately going into extreme heat stroke.

I can provide save file and a video if needs be as I was recording it at a time.

That seems to me like an intended consequence of a fire. without some kind of fire suppression system in place, the only thing you could do is remove a wall so that the heat is able to escape to the outside.

Maybe if water management becomes a thing, we could have a sprinkler system. Otherwise, get some marshmallows!

Yeah, something like that happened to me, also. I think it is intended, and it makes a lot of sense. In real life, people don't stay in burning rooms trying to extinguish the fire. They run a way as fast they can...

With the new system, it would be nice to have some kind of fire extinguisher in the game, though.

Yeah what I am referring to is the fact that wood burns at 300 C not 1300C not sure if Tynan accounted for a fact that if huge rooms overheats it is possible to create temperatures that will instantly kill colonists who enter. Creating temperatures of that magnitude requires industrial size ovens and fuels not just ordinary fire.

True wood doesn't burn at 1300, but remember that what you have in that picture is a closed environment. Picture what happens when you close the lid on a BBQ. The temp goes up because the heat, the energy being released, has no where to go.

i'm not saying that 1300 is an accurate temperature. But 1300 or 300. one breath at that temperature and you die either way.

[Tynan]

Working as intended.

And real wood doesn't have a 'maximum' burning temperature, otherwise medieval blacksmiths would never have been able to melt steel with wood furnaces. Wood has an *ignition* temperature where it starts burning, but that's something else entirely.
