Heat and conveyor rail issues
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1951689445

So the insulated tiles are acting up every time I restart the game. Some tiles at the connecting path used to be 600f, now they're 200 f.

As a result, all my ice production dies.

Today, the tile leading out of this volcano room exactly on the conveyor route are 1200f. As a result, any lead on the conveyor route is automatically dropped from the conveyor and falls back in the room.

This causes in an infinite loop for the conveyor.

What is a fix to this? Rebuilding it with newer tile that isnt super hot? Just keep chucking ice at it?

Rebuild the conveyor rails and the floor and put the conveyor rail below the wall maybe. Insulated tiles still conduct some heat, just not as much. But really, do you need to be making ice right beside a volcano?

You should let the metal cool off before shipping it out. Interaction between completely uninsulated metal on a rail is rather strong even with insulated tiles, so it needs to be cooled first.

Alternatively just insulate the metal route and its storage space from whatever you need cold. If you want your ice production there just vacuum insulate the joint plate and double layer the walls.

Where's the lead coming from? Don't ship lead on the same line as hot metal.

Every time you restart the game the numbers change or it changed with time?

does a man really need to turn himself into a pickle?

Some of the automation wires were lead, which conveniently dont melt at the temp the room was at.

I'll have to verify if temps are changing every time. But it struck me as super odd that one tile was 1200f. And everything else wasnt close to that.

The ice was a quick fix for the metal issue because I dont have a good cooling system set up for cooling metal volcano products.

Not too strong on temperature management. I just either dump ice or use an abundant amount of wheeze worts but the latter is ineffective for some reason.
