Description
Ceiling's and wall's connectible fans.

You'll find two types of fans :
- in Objects menu, you can put a fan permanently.
- in Utilities menu, the « fans off » can be connected with a powerswitch or/and a doortimer : it spawns a « fan on » wich cools the air. The fan disappears when triggered off.

Useful in kitchen, dormitories, cellblock, work's places, to avoid overheating.

Beware, just below the fan, the temperature is VERY cold, don't put it above a work's station or a bed.

I adjusted the effects of the fans depending on my needs : you can change the RadiantTemperatureChange and RadiantRange parameters in materials.txt in the mod's file.

IMPORTANT : the temperature around the fans depends on the OUTSIDE weather. If you forget to switch off your fans in winter, warmth need will fast increase.

Feel free to send me better sprites, mine are ugly. I know.

Can we get a Thermostat for the Rooms when you make the Whole Build AC Units and can we have Heat aswell from a Furnace so it can use Air Ducts

Hey there, nice mod.
I wanted something like that a long time.
The only thing I didn't like are the sprites, so I made some new ones.

If you want them, you can download them here:

Now they look like real AC's.

Greetings from Austria!

So the game finally accepts radiant temperatures below 0? Sweet. It never did when I made the cooling unit, so I can finally fix that thing properly.:lunar2019coolpig:

So, a lot of work for a small problem, overheating doesn't appear so often. But the existing fans are pathetic. And there's no way to shut them down (or radiators either), except by deleting them : that's why "fans off" exists, to spawn and delete fans.

Of course the objective was to complete the system with a thermostat ; but I'm not able to access the temperature, either local or global. I tried a lot of World.GetCell(x,y).things, and others World.Weather.otherthings, and so on. If anyone has any idea, I'd love to read it.

A lot of thanks to all modders, I read a lot of existing mods to make mine. Special thanks to Murgh for his CoolerUnit in VendingMachine mod.

And sorry again for my pathetic sprites and my bad english.
