Reverse-Cycle AquaTuner
This mod adds a reverse-cycle AquaTuner (heats coolant instead of cooling it, and outputs cold around itself) as well as a reverse-cycle Thermo Regulator. For balance reasons, the reverse-cycle machines get less efficient once the environment around them drops below -200°C.
The mod also adds high voltage versions of the regular/reverse-cycle AquaTuner and Regulator. These require substantially more power per second, but have a much higher overall efficiency.
Update (11th October 2019): Added support to configure the mod in the in-game mod menu. The power usage and cooling factors of the HV Regulator and AquaTuner can now be customized.
Update (14th October 2019): As requested, new options have been added to allow the new machines to be built without requiring a foundation, and to customize the throughput (max KGs per second the machine can handle).
Update (15th October 2019): Added option to allow Regulators to be submerged and still operate (like AquaTuners can).
Update (9th December 2019): Lowered the minimum temperature to -200°C. Fixed the "missing R typo" in the names of the new machines. Added minimum temperature information to the tooltip for the reverse-cycle machines when constructing them.
Update (11th December 2019): Finally figured out how to avoid a potential crash if the machines hit absolute zero. Lowered the minimum temperature to -265°C. Machines now get less efficient once they go below -200°C, this efficiency decrease gets exponentially worse the colder they get.
Update (26th February 2020): Rebuilt code base to stop crashing issues with the latest beta branches.
Update (7th March 2020): Recompiled mod to support latest game version.
** Configuration changes ONLY take effect on RESTART
** NOTE: This is my first real attempt at making a mod for ONI, so there may be bugs. However, in all my testing I haven’t run into any.
** NOTE: If you have issues downloading or updating the mod, I also upload the files to my GitHub at https://github.com/Lord-BoNes/ONI-Mods/tree/master/LiquidConditionerReversed
