FAQ

Does this replace vanilla heat pipes?

No. It modifies the vanilla heat pipe prototype directly and does not add a new item, recipe, or entity.

What exactly changes?

Only data.raw["heat-pipe"]["heat-pipe"].heating_radius is set to 2.

Does this make heat travel farther through pipe networks?

No. Heat buffer values, max transfer, temperatures, and connection behavior are unchanged. The mod only expands the nearby surface heating radius.

Is this safe for existing saves?

Yes. It is safe to add to existing Space Age saves. Removing it returns heat pipes to the vanilla heating radius.

Does this affect achievements?

Like other mods, enabling it disables Steam achievements for that save. In-game modded achievements still work normally.

Does this require Space Age?

Yes. The tweak is intended for Space Age surface heating gameplay, especially Aquilo.

Does it work with other mods?

It should work with most mods. Another mod that also changes vanilla heat pipe heating_radius may conflict depending on load order.
