How does this work
Obtaining Air Conditioners

AC units cannot be crafted, but you can find them in game already installed on some building walls. They are usually located on industrial buildings, warehouses, but also there is one in Muldraugh bakery. You will need to simply pick them and take them home to your base.

Placing Air Conditioner

To activate the air conditioner you do not need to learn any skills nor tools.

Place the air conditioner outside your base on a wall behind which you want heat to be generated. Right click the air conditioner, and select "Attach". This needs to be done only once after placing the unit on a wall.

Operating Air Conditioner

Air conditioners will naturally work only when power is available. Vanilla generators, but also solar panels will work. Right click air conditioner, and simply select "Turn on". Turning off is similar.

Click "Settings" to access a panel to change temperature and fan speed. Temperature is self-explanatory; the fan speed controls the radius of heat propagation. This mod uses in-game algorithm for heat propagation which is not perfect. You may notice that sometimes heat is blocked for no reason. I cannot fix this but you may experiment with different A/C placements or using more than one unit.

AC units can also be controlled remotely. To do so, you will need to use a TV remote. Click "Settings" on the remote in your inventory list. The remote will control nearby unit as long as it is not too far. If there are multiple units in range, you will control the one that is closer to the player. The player will face in the direction where the AC unit is, this way you will know that unit is being controlled. You can control units only on the same floor.

Other

Air conditioner will consume a constant amount of fuel.
Air conditioner does not not to be repaired.
Air conditioners do not generate any toxic gas.
It is safe to add the mod in the middle of the game. It is also safe to remove it which is not recommended 😉

Please let me know of your ideas in the comments. I will try to implement them. Also please let me know if you find any bugs.
