This question is pretty simple, does it function similar to the upcoming complete overhaul mod "The factory must grow" where you need to pipe out heat out of machines and use radiatiors to vent the heat or is it more like "Ah, I'm too hot, now I shut down fuck you" style of overheating?

I know I can check the mod myself but it would be better for the description to explain more clearly what exactly this mod is gonna do to the factory

This mod adds the exact same thermal mechanic from TFMG (both TFMG use the same thermal library) this just configures that library for use in vanilla factorio.

Basically this mod makes it so that electric furnaces and beacons overheat, have heat pipe connections and can be cooled with ground placed radiators, much like TFMG.

This mod isn’t anything fancy, it’s primarily as a sanity check that the thermal library is working correctly, and as a simple showcase of how modders can interact with the thermal library to implement thermal system features.

Aha, shame it's not space age compatible like the TFMG mod cause it sounds quite interesting

I just haven’t had the time to make a space age config, but it shouldn’t be hard.

Aha, that's why. This mod could be quite interesting with aquilo don't you think? Like heating a distant outpost by using like only beacons or something

It’s a cool idea but I imagine practically it’d be hard to balance, since machines would be able to heat themselves through the connections underneath them so all the fancy heat piping designs you had to make aren’t needed before.

But this only works on beacons and furnaces right now doesn't it?

This mod only configures the thermal system for electric furnaces and beacons (since they are latergame and I felt made sense to produce heat). The thermal system works for assemblers, furnaces, including coal powered ones, beacons, labs and thrusters

Well when this mod comes to space age I'm gonna look foreward to using it cause it sounds real fun
