Thick Wall Insulates

Description
Makes thick walls (3+ cells) actually insulate, instead of acting like 1-cell thin wall (almost) directly to the outside.

Vanilla behavior (without this mod):

1-cell thin wall moves current room temperature towards temperature of the room on the other side.

2+-cell wall moves current room temperature towards OUTDOOR temperature (NOT temperature of the room on the other side of the wall!) at half-speed.

With this mod:

1-cell thin wall moves current room temperature towards temperature of the room on the other side (like vanilla).

2-cell wall moves current room temperature towards temperature of the room on the other side of the wall at half-speed if the outer wall is only open on one side, or at 3/4 speed if it's open on 2 or 3 sides (wall corners are useful now).

3+-cell wall actually insulates and does not affect room temperature at all.

@Miha_metan it should work with anything that can separate rooms and doesn't have it's own temperature. So it should work with any modded walls, but not with wall freesers.

@Kusko25 here's the update for 1.6.

Any plans for 1.6?

Wait, thick walls move temperature to the outside temperature? No wonder I'm having trouble keeping my underground bases heated.

does this mod work with modded walls? sos2 ship hull, architect module log wall, hedge..

no heat loss through walls seems excessive (0.1 for 3 and thicker if you don't want to do a formula) but i'll definitely give this a try as i find the vanilla situation silly

@snake This mod only stops temperature change through walls, I think you still exchange temperature through roofs, Thick roofs are more insulating than the constructed

i used devmode, built 7x7 again with square in the middle, this time no green square around the room but the room still changed temperature

7x7 i meant* sorry, 3 cells thick wall

this mod doesnt seem to work for me for some reason. i built 5x5 square with 1 empty square in the middle, built roof under every single square and built it out of wood and the room still changes the temperature. when i used "Draw rooms option" the 1x1 room that i made in the middle showed green square directly to the right of it. i dont use any temperature mods. no errors in the log
