[B42] Working Air Conditioners

Description
Port of the amazing Working Air Conditioners mod by Slayer to Build 42.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3071370537

Only changes by me were to fix incompatibilities with the new selection system in B42 and to use the new folder structure. This version will be removed if the original is updated.



Original Description

Overview
This mod won't let you freeze your butts off during zombie apocalypse.
Activate air conditioners and stay hot during winters.
Cooling is also possible but works only in single player games.

If you like my work (This goes to Slayer):

How does this work
Obtaining Air Conditioners
AC units cannot be crafted, but you can find them in game already installed on some building walls. They are usually located on industrial buildings, warehouses, but also there is one in Muldraugh bakery. You will need to simply pick them and take them home to your base.

Placing Air Conditioner
To activate the air conditioner you do not need to learn any skills nor tools.

Place the air conditioner outside your base on a wall behind which you want heat to be generated. Right click the air conditioner, and select "Attach". This needs to be done only once after placing the unit on a wall.

Operating Air Conditioner
Air conditioners will naturally work only when power is available. Vanilla generators, but also solar panels will work. Right click air conditioner, and simply select "Turn on". Turning off is similar.

Click "Settings" to access a panel to change temperature and fan speed. Temperature is self-explanatory; the fan speed controls the radius of heat propagation. This mod uses in-game algorithm for heat propagation which is not perfect. You may notice that sometimes heat is blocked for no reason. I cannot fix this but you may experiment with different A/C placements or using more than one unit.

AC units can also be controlled remotely. To do so, you will need to use a TV remote. Click "Settings" on the remote in your inventory list. The remote will control nearby unit as long as it is not too far. If there are multiple units in range, you will control the one that is closer to the player. The player will face in the direction where the AC unit is, this way you will know that unit is being controlled. You can control units only on the same floor.

Other
Air conditioner will consume a constant amount of fuel.
Air conditioner does not not to be repaired.
Air conditioners do not generate any toxic gas.
It is safe to add the mod in the middle of the game. It is also safe to remove it which is not recommended ;)

Please let me know of your ideas in the comments. I will try to implement them. Also please let me know if you find any bugs.

Have you ever consider making Solar energy stuff? I know we already have that mod, but seeing all the complain in comments, feel like it one hella buggy

I do need this mod for winter since i dont want to wear too much clothes & ruin my fashion, but the power demand so much to bear, the generator also broke over time to some point you out of part to fix it

not sure if its a bug or what, i go outside and temp drops to 19.2 which went to 19.4 while i was watching (temp set to 19), go back inside and its 22.0 so it seems to be cooling outside not inside? might be a conflict as I have a "Air Conditioning" context option that you don't have in the picture with an arrow > that has no options and can't be clicked does nothing.

@z0ntir: Those models have never worked with the original version. Considering this is just a port, no extra features were added. Only the original wall mounted ACs are supported. There are various ones around Muldraugh, including a decent amount at the Rusty Rifle motel.

It has not worked for me for the air conditioner I have in my house. This air conditioner already comes in vanilla and is installed in the house I chose. It is the doctor's house in Muldraug.

@cooldude, @z0ntir: As the description says in the "Operating Air Conditioner" section, it works on an area. If you increase the fan, it increases the area.

@Hooey: It already has sound. The remote, however, does not trigger the beeps, same as the original version.
