BerbCorp Electro Heater
Power Aquilo heating directly from the electric grid with three researchable heater sizes.
Heater progression
- Small Electro Heater: a 1 x 1 building that consumes 2 MW and heats a 3 x 3 area.
- Electro Heater: a 2 x 2 building that consumes 12 MW and heats an 8 x 8 area.
- Industrial Electro Heater: a 3 x 3 building that consumes an extreme 250 MW, heats a 7 x 7 area, and transfers heat through four heat-pipe connections.
Each tier has its own recipe and technology. The industrial model is deliberately expensive to operate: it is a compact central heat source, not a power-efficient replacement for conventional heating.
Performance
The heaters use Factorio's native reactor, electric-energy-source, heat-buffer, and heating-radius prototypes. The mod has no runtime control script, recurring surface scan, or per-tick Lua work.
Compatibility
- Supports Factorio 2.0 and 2.1 with the Space Age expansion.
- Designed for Aquilo, but usable anywhere the engine permits heat sources.
- Uses dedicated 64 x 64 inventory icons and 256 x 256 technology artwork.
