Space Radiator

Harness the Void: Introducing the Space Radiator Mod for Oxygen Not Included

Managing heat is a constant challenge in the unforgiving environments of Oxygen Not Included. Duplicants toil, machines hum, and every process generates warmth that can quickly spiral out of control. Fortunately, a new utility building has arrived to help you conquer the thermal chaos: the Space Radiator mod.

Vent Heat Directly to the Stars

The core functionality of the Space Radiator is its ability to directly vent heat into the vacuum of space. When its panels are fully exposed, this ingenious device radiates thermal energy away, providing a powerful and passive cooling solution. No more convoluted coolant loops or inefficient heat exchangers needed for your most demanding applications!

Versatile Cooling for Any Situation

While its primary purpose is space-based heat dissipation, the Space Radiator is surprisingly versatile. Even when not fully deployed, it continues to exchange heat with its immediate surroundings, acting as a potent radiant pipe or heatsink. This makes it useful for managing heat within your base as well.

Key Features of the Space Radiator:

• Radiates heat directly into space when fully exposed.
• Functions as a powerful radiant pipe or heatsink when partially exposed.
• Foldable panels protect against environmental hazards like meteor impacts.
• Material choice influences heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and radiation rate.
• Employs advanced calculations based on the Stefan–Boltzmann constant for efficient cooling.
• Requires repair if damaged, preventing catastrophic failure.
• Does not require power to operate.

Advanced Engineering and Material Science

The Space Radiator mod brings a touch of advanced engineering to your colony. Its heat radiation is scientifically calculated, meaning higher temperatures result in more effective cooling. Furthermore, the materials you choose for its construction directly impact its performance, allowing for a customized approach to thermal management. The building can be folded and unfolded, either manually or via automation, to protect it during transit or specific environmental events. Be mindful, however, as the radiator will refold itself upon loading a save, making it temporarily vulnerable.

DLC Integration

For those expanding their reach with the DLC content, an interior-exclusive radiator is also included. This specialized version must be placed attached to a side wall, offering a unique solution for managing heat within enclosed structures.

Unlock the power of the void and bring a new level of thermal control to your Oxygen Not Included colonies with the Space Radiator mod!
