does every impassable object count as "outside" that draws heat?

Evul

From my knowlage yes.
I might be wrong :)

I honestly don't think they do, seeing as otherwise it would be near impossible to heat/cool large, well-filled rooms (hydroponics) without needing a dozen heaters.

But they do stop heating, I'm not mistaking again.

the impassables do not display the tem around them but the 'outside' temp, BUT have no effect of the temp of the room around the impassables or even on the grow effect for plants in hydroponics

it is so: my base is now 6 times bigger and i need 25 industrial heaters instead of 2

tested it out: dug a room surrounded by base corridors
base +21
outside -31
in room +6
build a wall inside
nothing changed.
dug a room inside mountain only a wall and a door connect to base
absolutely the same as above.
build a room outside one wall at the base no doors
temperature hardly changed:
build by -22
by outside -36 inside -23
by outside -16 inside -21
build a door inside from base:
it changed to the same pattern like first room.
build a room completely outside
same pattern as 3. room
build a door
temperature inside follows outside temperature much quicker.

so:
temperature exchange happens trough roof and doors and walls just separate different areas.
