Mod that extends heat range?

Post by N4ait »

Hello, I am currently looking for a mod that removes or extends the range of heatpipes, I am not verry kowlegable when it comes to mods so I dont even know if its possible or practical. But I am looking for something that extends the distans heat travels in heat pipes. Mainly to have some more freedom when it comes to designing nuculear setups,*
Any info about this is greatly appriciated!

If you mean to lower the heat loss in heat pipes, then it is probably hardcoded.

"For any heat pipe entity with one input connection on one side and one output connection on another, this entity will lower the temperature by 1 + (P / 15) °C with P being the power going through this entity expressed in MW."

Would be nice if this is moddable too, a workaround could be making longer heat pipes (2, 3, ... [etc] long), I don't think they are checking for entity size in the formulas
