Temperature Control Unit

Description
A combination cooler/heater that goes over a wall. Set a temperature and the Temperature Control Unit will do its best to keep the room that temperature, no matter if it is hotter or colder. It will automatically switch to heating or cooling mode depending on the temperature set. It has the same heating and cooling power as a standard heater and cooler. If cooling it will exhaust heat just like a cooler, and if heating it will not exhaust anything, just like a heater.

It costs 140 steel to build and 4 components, the combined cost of a cooler and a heater, and uses the same amount of power as a heater or cooler.

It is placed over walls like the coolers and vents featured in In-wall coolers and vents and Replace Stuff, so the wall you place it over will not be deconstructed.


Extra Features
  • Includes multiple sizes: 1x1, 1x2, 2x1, and 2x2. The 2x1 and 2x2 sizes use double the resources and power, but offer almost 3 times the heating and cooling capacity. The 1x2 and 2x2 fit over double walls.


Feeling generous?

Would love to see an option for this to be gated behind a research, so regular heaters/coolers feel less immediately obsolete."

Oh, yeah definitely not this mod that is hiding the coolers.
N/A Mar 25 @ 5:12pm 
either this mod, or another mod, hid the vanilla cooler. also, the larger ones are much more efficient than the vanilla cooler, apart from the whole heating thing, and freezers are one of the largest sucks of temperature control.

:shrug:
your mod, your design decisions.

@N/A, well to be fair it isn't meant for freezers because freezers never need heating... it is designed for rooms that need heating or cooling depending on the season.

i like the idea but this works poorly for freezers because it will run to heat the freezer if the temperature drops below the set point. if this gets updated with 1.5, having the option to select set point, heating, or cooling modes would be very nice.

Could you please make them paintable and could be made from materials, like gold and so on?

This is genius ! Thx a lot for this.

@Deadmano Take a look at the Mod "Alternate Vents and Coolers" by the same mod author.
