All this heat on Vulcanus and no way to harness it? No longer!

Thermal Tap provides a convenient source of 1000°C heat from tapped lava to connected heat-pipes.


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.

Update Roadmap:

  • ✨ Suggest something!
  • 🪲 [locale.cfg] Some naming and descriptions need smoothing.
