HVAC Expansion

Elevate Your Colony’s Climate Control with HVAC Expansion for Oxygen Not Included

Managing your duplicants’ environment is paramount in Oxygen Not Included, and the HVAC Expansion mod introduces a suite of innovative tools to revolutionize your climate control systems. This mod focuses on expanding your options for precise temperature management, offering unique building functionalities that complement and enhance existing game mechanics. Whether you’re grappling with overheating machinery or seeking to fine-tune atmospheric conditions, HVAC Expansion provides the solutions you need.

Introducing New Temperature Control Possibilities

The HVAC Expansion mod brings four distinct new buildings to your build menu, each designed to tackle specific environmental challenges. These additions offer a fresh perspective on managing temperature and phase changes within your base, allowing for more intricate and efficient designs.

Key Features for Advanced Environmental Management

This mod introduces several groundbreaking buildings that will change how you approach your colony’s thermal needs:

• Thermo Aquacooler: Imagine the power of an Aquatuner, but in reverse! This building actively cools its surroundings, providing a potent tool for combating heat buildup in localized areas.
• Thermo Conditioner: Similar to the Thermo Regulator, the Thermo Conditioner offers a way to precisely lower temperatures. It works by cooling the immediate environment, offering a dedicated solution for cooling tasks.
• Auto Evaporator: This unique building takes piped liquids and actively heats them to encourage evaporation. If a liquid isn’t hot enough to fully vaporize, it will be safely dumped, preventing unwanted buildup.
• Auto Condenser: The counterpart to the Auto Evaporator, this building cools piped gases to facilitate condensation. Gases that fail to condense at the target temperature are efficiently removed.

It’s important to note that the Auto Evaporator and Auto Condenser are designed for elements that undergo complete phase transitions without byproducts. Attempting to process other substances may result in “Wrong Element Damage.”

Seamless Integration and Modding Support

HVAC Expansion is designed to integrate smoothly with your existing Oxygen Not Included experience. The new buildings respect the settings of other mods, such as Customize Buildings, ensuring that pipe pressure and throughput options are properly accounted for. The mod also supports both the base game and the Spaced Out! DLC. Art and animations for these new structures have been expertly crafted, adding visual polish to your advanced HVAC systems. If you encounter any issues, reporting them on the provided issue tracker will help ensure a smoother experience for all players.
