i Request: Thermal System Circuit Integration

7 days ago

This is more of a "stretch" request than an urgent one, but I would really appreciate it if the thermal system had integration with the circuit network, i.e. reading the temperature of a building into a circuit. Right now you can attach wires to the radiators, but you can't really do anything with that without the ability to read the temperature itself.

I thought of this while using the supercomputer on SELF, as being able to disable it while the cooling system is still under construction would give players the ability to operate it in "on-par" batches without having to pause for every recipe during overheat. Possibly there would be other cool interactions too, especially for some of the planned systems regarding later-game heat mechanics.

(p.s. This mod is super awesome, keep up the incredible work!)

This is a cool idea and if I can think of a way to do this and have good performance I’ll implement it. For now, use the heat monitor entity.
