Steam Hubs and Heaters

[SimbaTao]

I know that steam hubs do not overlap, simply because steam through pipes has a limit, before they burst.

I can't help but wonder where heat retention fits in this. Do steam hubs and heaters in the same area overlap? If they do, ignore the rest of this post. I guess I just haven't noticed any difference.

If I have a building that is heated within, and I have a steam hub, or generator near by, heating it from the outside, wouldn't it make sense that heating the walls, ground, and roof on the outside, and the walls, floors, and ceiling on the inside, would make it warmer inside the building?

Solid objects can retain heat. Being heated from 2 sides would make the walls, floors, and roof warmer, thus make the whole building warmer, no?

I think it should be warmer because there is a physical divide between the outside and inside.The trapped air on the inside would be warmer than if just heated from one source inside. If you put something heating the outside of the building less heat would escape, making it warmer inside.

I could be wrong about it all, so feel free to correct me.

Thanks for your time!

EDIT: Used the word house, instead of building, I meant building such as a cookhouse.

Heaters and steam hubs both work together. Only stea hubs dont overlap. Steam hubs dont stack with the gen for the same reason steam hubs dont work with each other as same source of heat witch is also why steam hubs match the gens heat level.

Heaters are basicly a space heaters used in the building so an entirely other source of heat and dose add on top of all other sources.

Insulation is the only other way to add heat beyond that.

Field kitchens also can be used witch dosent change heat level but makes it so the workers sickness levels are offset by 1 heat level so chilly is calculated as livable.


If you mean dose one building with a heater add heat to the building beside it no just like my house doesn't heat my neighbor when I got my space heater on. Heaters only add to the building there in but do add on top of heat level from steam hubs.

Heaters heat level also has nothing to do with gen heat level and always only raises by 1 unless you have heater level 2 or 3 than its +2 or 3 respectively regardless of gen heat level.



A note thou heaters only run when someone is in the building and only if it will raise the heat level to a workable level as otherwise even with the heater on someone still is not going to be in the buidling so wont be on.

Its easy to test just turn heaters on when its in a steam hub area and heat level is one level higher so long as you are doing it as said during a time people are in the building.
