All this heat on Vulcanus and no way to harness it? Need to get rid of heat into a nearby cold lake?

Thermal Tap thermally provides or sinks heat between tapped lakes and connected heat pipes. Lava for 1000°C heat, or cold lakes as a 15°C heat sink.


Major Features:

  • 🌡️ Thermal Tap can be placed in any liquid, and it will supply that liquid's temperature to connected heatpipes.
  • ❄️ Yes, this means you can use it as a heatsink. Despite labelling, engine forces temperatures to stay within 15°-1000°C
  • ↔️ Dual use version, both heat and fluid output. The sides are used to connect heat-pipes, while fluid-pipe connection remains.
  • ⚙️ Startup setting: [Thermal Tap] or [Integrated Offshore Pump] mode. Same functionality with base-entity without extra UI entity bloat.
  • 🔥 Startup setting: [Heat Transfer Rate] Want a more realistic heat-transfer? Change the default of 10TW to 50MW or similar
