Devs fixed fairy magic.

Thanks for looking into it.

At high temperatures, the heat does not transfer, but simply disappears into nowhere.

It just disappears, I don’t know where, probably into a subspace of the universe :steamhappy:

I figured out what happened:

The game code states that if the planet contains an atmosphere, then the radiator does not work as expected.

If you build a radiator on a planet with no atmosphere or in space, it will work.

So, on planets with an atmosphere, you can only heat.

Yes, the radiator is extended, and track 90 to the sun as expected when trying to radiate heat and the pressure is a 0, that is why I sealed myself inside the chamber with it to make sure it was sealing when trying to figure out why it is not working.

@McyD
Is the radiator extended? The pressure in the chamber must be 0 (auto).

Okay, problem I am getting is setting it at say 21C it is stuck at both sides of the system at 60c. Enclosing myself in the room with the radiators, I see them at 0 heat radiation. I expanded to two radiators and additional heat exchangers and still the same result.

@McyD
Maximum (effective) (no fairy magic) cooling around 183.15K (-90C). The heat transfer efficiency depends on the temperature difference.With a large temperature difference, it can transmit heat in the region of 1MJ. Yes, it equalizes the temperature between the two heat exchangers, but how else? If you want to store gas at a low temperature, set -90 and wait. The device is universal for cooling / heating, the main functionality is to maintain the temperature at the required value. If you want to cool 100 kmol of gas in 10 seconds, it will take hundreds of MJ (Which doesn't make much sense.)

Trying to use this on mars, but only seems to equalize to whatever line I am trying to cool.
