Convert-O-tron 250 not reaching optimal temp :/ ie: staying cold... WTF!

[&The3Bears!]

What is the point of the Convert-O-tron 250 if it cant reach an operating temperature where it can actually convert anything during timewarp?

How can I fix this, its just flat out staying at 4k when it needs to be around 1000K???

Maybe you should, I don't know, read the documentation and put some freaking radiators on it?

Maybe you should read what I wrote...

it wont get UP to temp...

4k (4000) is greater than 1000 (1k)

[&The3Bears!]

Let me be clearer, Its stuck at 4k, it needs to be at 1000k, typo ftw :p

IE: it is 996k too cold

Also, 4k doesnt equal 4000, it equals 4 degrees Kelvin...

Can I get any responses from anyone who actually knows what their talking about???

Just point a rocket at it until it is hot

You probably already checked this but... does it have enough ore to operate?
It won't do too much if your ore tanks are empty and you have 1 or 2 drills going.

4 kelvin (kelvin doesn't get the degrees added to it) is the universal background radiation temperature so it's possible your convert-o-tron is off.

Has anyone else experienced this bug?

PS: Stop telling me its not on, it doesnt have ore, so on, ITS A BUG you morons....

Maybe we need a picture to help solve the problem.
There appears to be some confusion with deriving the problem from your description.

I know what the problem is, but since the OP is being a ♥♥♥♥♥♥, forget it.

Timewarp is also not friendly to ISRUs.

Wherever possible, you want to use physwarp instead of timewarp to reach stable temps. The faster you timewarp, the slower it will reach optimal temp.

Likewise, if it's too hot, it'll take AGES to cool down at high timewarp. It'll then dip below optimal and start the rollercoaster of inefficiency all over again.

Best method is to pyswarp until you're hot and happy, then nope the ♥♥♥♥ out to space centre or something in orbit. (Because then you can run stuff with a setup that's losing power QUICKLY) and timewarp using another vehicle (or the space centre) till you know you've got full ore.

kerbal like response to a problem
love it

It says right in the description for the Poodle engine: works as a barbecue on low power. Perfect for heating up that drill.
