Thermo regulator useless
I like how it cools down the gas to 7 degrees, but when it hits then vent it is up at 35 degrees.

Very realistic. NOT.

Temperature management is a joke in this game, it is literally broken.

I have not found any plants, and wasting my water and dups on fans 24/7 is stupid af.

I barely have anything running in the base and still heat kills all my plants so I can't have a farm going. And there is no way to cool down the base, at all.

dig into the ice biome. place some thermoregulators there, so that the air goes through several before getting to your base. effectively dump your heat there. yes, it will melt over time, but it should buy you couple dozen cycles

then uncover the Wheezeworts, plant them around your base and gardens and chill the place

make use of the broken-ness of several fixed temperature outputs of many water based buildings, they can cool boiling liquid to their determined value (yes, it's broken, but deal with it till they fix it) example would be the water sieve - its output will be 40 Celcius, even if you pumped it in at 80.

there's also rumors of an ancient relic that just sucks the temperature out of its surroundings at an astounding rate, hidden somewhere on the map ;)

The thing is the world is hotter in general. You entire surrounding biomes are much hotter than the start biome so once you dig out, the heat exchange begins and your job is to slow it down of prepare a cooling system.

You say thermo regulators are useless but I concer. Their one of the most helpful things since if you create a hydrogen cooling system, you can keep you base cool. The issue would be that the thermal regulators will overheat but that can be solved by dripping any cooler liquid on them.

i guess you explored too fast while your dups and colony set up weren't able to handle it, you should explore slower and set colony basis services slower before expanding explo

prolly the reason why you run into such kind of issues

True - I often dig to the temp borders of my start area and buffer myself with layered isolation tiles to mitigate it till I'm ready to take on the heat ;)

Here's how I manage temperature: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1231688457

I place all my heat producing machinery at the very bottom of my base. In the center I have a room with wheezeworts in hydrogen. This refridgerates two rooms connected to it. The cold temperature then leaks through the metal doors and travels down to the hot area. My machines never overheat and my base stays a comfortable 23-30 degrees C.

If you say Concur - you are saying you agree with the person.

Not really sure which word you are confusing it with.
Maybe;
Differ?
Dissent?

Ether way concur is wrong.
