Helixien Gas Boiler

Description
Requires either Dubs Bad Hygiene AND/OR Dubs Central Heating!

CONTENTS

DETAILS
  • Helixien gas boiler is equivalent to the electric boiler from Bad Hygiene and produces the same amount of hot water. Also includes power modes, thermostat overrides, etc.
  • Balance is based on other VHGE utilities, meaning that it generates the same amount of hot water as its electric counterpart, but for far less gas.
  • Original Bad Hygiene gas boiler was renamed to chemfuel boiler via XML patch and is otherwise untouched.
  • Textures are edited textures from Bad Hygiene.

KNOWN ISSUES
  • As this mod supports Dubs Bad Hygiene AND/OR Dubs Central Heating, dependency cannot be enforced for either in the About.xml file. Instead, an error log will be displayed on start-up if both DBH and DCH are missing. If a save is loaded without either dependency installed, the boiler will not appear in game (it's def won't be loaded).
  • Currently the way in which gas pipes connect to the boiler looks bad from some directions/orientations. I was strongly advised by the RimWorld discord to not attempt to patch the pipe connection behaviour due to potential performance issues.
    The best solution currently is to use an underground pipe for any pipes directly adjacent to any Helixien boilers.

Any chance you could be convinced to expand this to also make the existing chem fuel boiler compatible with the vanilla expanded pipes?

UselessGoddess69: It's been a while since I tested this, but it they worked together last I time I checked! I don't think DBH has seen any significant changes since then, so I'd expect it to be fine!

Just wondering if this works with the Lite version of Dubs Bad Hygiene

@Ghost of Draupnir: I think that research might be from another mod, because I've never heard of a "Fluid Heat Exchange" research project. This mod only requires "Gas Extraction" (and "Central Heating" if you're using Dubs Central Heating).
