Air conditioner

Hair Conditioner. Better than Air Conditioner atm XD

I know there's something better to think about, but air conditioner atm has a range of 2x2 foundation, which is pratically useless and is an expensive structure...
Since i just read a thread complaining about hyper heats and hyper colds after the last patch, i eould invite u at least to increase the RANGE of the air conditioner of at least 5x. 10x10 like feeding trough would be way better and u'll see some of them in the houses ;)

EDIT: A 4x4 or 5x5 radius would be nice anyways

[Silver Salvation]

yup they are useless

I don't understand why it can't just fill the whole structure, the game seems to support that with the structure icon when you enter them, so I don't see why it can't work for the whole structure its in.

Yes we know they suck, they only extend out 4 foundation length and loose massive effectiveness in that short range and any open doors or windows or cracks in you home just compound the problem further.

Bump this issue. For a late game tech it really needs to be effective... especially now with the cold temp snow biome.

I need the heater where my base is now... AC outside always on!

Usless unless you stand on them lmao

Wow really that small? This is something that should be addressed.

[Maltheus]

They really need to add a temperature scaling setting to the ini file.

It's quite ridiculous even for something that's not realistic. Its too expensive to make and the bonus is not worth for that little area, considering that it also needs electricity. I better deal with the weather with just my armor.

Comparatively with a feeding trough:
*Wiki* Feeding troughs: a creature will eat inside of it and will then feed all owned creatures within a range of 9 foundations horizontally and 16 foundations vertical from the point of placement.

So... Dinos can feed from a trough on the fourth floor or 2 brontos away but i need to be right next to the AC to be affected by it. I would need like 15 of those to heat/cool my entire base, and its a small base.

Suggestion:
Make the AC heat/cool in a 2x2 area if its outdoors, make it heat/cool in a 10x10 area if its indoors (aka, house icon) but not let it go through walls or ceilings. That way one would be able to not get the cold penalization during a blizzard in an iceberg base while wearing the fur armor; or the heat penalization in a cave or furnace room while being naked.
You would need more than one if you want to keep it like that in the other rooms.

They should make a central AC system, where you can build ducts to run them to other rooms in the building.

there is no house icon in my house :/
i think its because i have a dino gate as a door or the room is just to large

Ah, i have been trying that out quite a bit, and the issue is on the roof, it doesnt really close the building. You need ceilings to close it. And close the windows and doors please

[gatsublack]

Guys the house icon is just a suggestion, an idea, nothing already in game :)

Mhm? No, its an actual ingame icon that tells you that you are now getting the insulation bonus of an enclosed space. Check it out yourself, go out and see your insulation, then go in and check it again once the icon appears.
