Thermoelectric Coolers
Adds a thermoelectric cooler ("TEC") and thermoelectric generator ("TEG") to the game.
The TEC can move heat from one side to the other by consuming power.
The TEG can convert heat on either side into energy.

The buildings are fully configurable in the mod Options menu.
The TEC and TEG buildings require the Low Resistance Conductors research.
The tile that the building occupies is insulated, but not as good as an insulated tile.
The TEC can sustain a temperature difference up to 70 °K while powered.
The building moves heat from the cell with the flat plate to the cell with the tall fins at a linear rate until the maximum temperature difference is reached.
The building will consume power even if the maximum temperature difference is reached, so make sure you’re enabling it only when it is needed!
The TEG generates its maximum amount of energy when the temperature difference is at least 70 °K.
Both buildings also will not operate when their coldest side is below 50 °K.
