Vents

[kpsychopath]

it would be amazing if you could make a vent system in your base. or mabye heat pipes that goes alongside powercables. so you could have 1 main room where all your heaters are, or something along those lines. to me it just dosnt make sense that i have to place a heaters in every room when making small holes in the upper part of the wall would probly work, mabye poorly since its just a hole. but then you researched vents and made it like a suitable replacement to making heaters/coolers in every room

You can already do this to some extent. It takes a coolers 'cooling' the heat vent into the room you want to warm, and 2 coolers 'cooling' the target room (exhausting into the heat vent) to achieve an equilibrium.

Maybe some type of wall like the conduit wall that can transport electricity as well as heat, to get the heat into a room you would place a vent next to the wall.

This is the third topic about this now, I feel like it needs adding quite urgently, lol.

I guess this is a much needed feature.
Maybe a big boiler and air duct for conditioning, with a central termic building.

that is not a vent. its useing the heat created by the coolers heat exhaust to warm it up. while it would still work, its not a vent. its still like placing a heater in the room

Yes - but the way that the cooler is getting a exhaust is because its cooling a hot room. A more efficient cooler doing the same thing would be a vent - most of the 'heat' isnt being created by the cooler, but is preexisting heat that is being transferred room to room. With further testing I came to the conclusion that a cooler transfers about 150% of the heat that it removes from a room - eg: it takes 1 degree from Room A it would exhaust 1.5 degrees to room B. It if it was more energy efficient and didn't created the small amount of extra heat it would be a vent, which was basically the system I was trying to create, and exactly the thing I was asking about.

Vents!  Because I want a central air system!!

I believe vents should also have a close/open feature on the exits into the room, so you can close a heat vent and open cool if needed.  I suggest a air duct block, and a vent cover block that can be opened or closed.

A wall type which let temperature pass would be nice for bedrooms and prison cells.

Ventilation is desperately needed. Until it is implemented, the temperature system is just slightly broken.
