Placing items in front of AC exhaust

[AnDelusionalDog]

I tried to search with no luck... Sorry if this has been asked.

So when placing an ac unit if there's say a generator in front of where the ac exhaust is it won't let you place it. Saying something like both sides of the ac vents need to be open.

However I can place a generator in front of the exhaust if the ac is placed first.

So are there any negative consequences to doing this?

Thanks for any input.

I don't think so, so why don't you test it out?

[AnDelusionalDog]

Yeah I'll just test it... ill post my findings.

In case anyone is curious I did place a fueled generator in front of the exhaust of an ac unit. The freezer was always hovering between -1 and -2 so just barely enough ac units to keep it at its set -2.

There has been no change. Granted only one is blocked but I would think I would have noticed.

So blocking the exhaust shouldn't matter.

Or maybe it matters but we don't know?! Test it HARDER

Set exhaust to -273.

Somewhat similar, can you place items in front of vents?

[bluntobj]

No to the vents.  This can be seen when trying to place a vent when an existing object would block it.

Adding an item later?  Needs a quick test.

It works like in real life, you block the exhaust, unless it is outside, you risk catching the object in front of it on fire.

Oh ok Mine's outside so hasn't caught fire yet. That makes sense though.
