Smart Coolers

Master Your Colony’s Climate with Smart Coolers

Maintaining stable temperatures is paramount for any thriving colony in Oxygen Not Included. The Smart Coolers mod elevates the functionality of your Thermo Aquatuners and Thermo Regulators, offering unprecedented control over your environment. Forget the limitations of default operation; this mod empowers you to fine-tune your cooling and heating systems with advanced features designed for efficiency and precision.

Unleash Advanced Thermal Control

The latest version of Smart Coolers introduces a completely revamped user interface, moving away from rigid modes to a more flexible, component-based approach. You can now selectively enable or disable specific functionalities to perfectly match your colony’s needs.

Key features include:

• Directional Temperature Adjustment: Choose to simply cool, exclusively heat, or enable both heating and cooling functions within the automatic target temperature system.
• Input or Output Monitoring: Decide whether the system prioritizes reaching the target temperature based on the incoming coolant temperature or the outgoing temperature, offering different strategic applications.
• Customizable Temperature Deltas: Fine-tune the exact temperature difference your coolers will aim for, with configurable minimum and maximum ranges to prevent overshooting or insufficient cooling.
• Power Scaling: Optionally link power consumption directly to the applied temperature delta, ensuring efficient energy usage when less extreme temperature changes are required.

Intelligent Operation for Complex Needs

Smart Coolers offers sophisticated automatic modes. When set to monitor input temperature, the system will apply the full delta until the input reaches your desired target. Conversely, monitoring output temperature allows the system to gradually reduce its delta as the output nears the target, preventing abrupt fluctuations. This intelligent design ensures your sensitive machinery and delicate ecosystems remain within optimal temperature bands.

The mod’s underlying architecture has been significantly rewritten, promising more informative status readouts and a robust foundation for future expansions, including the much-anticipated addition of a solid cooler building. For those seeking ultimate control over their thermal management in Oxygen Not Included, the Smart Coolers mod is an essential upgrade.
