ModuleSystemHeat

ModuleSystemHeat is the main interface between part modules and the heat simulator. It has a few configuration options.

MODULE
{
	name = ModuleSystemHeat
	// Cubic metres
	volume = 15
	moduleID = sink
	iconName = Icon_Tank
	currentLoopID = 0
}

• moduleID: the name of this module. Must be unique on the part.
• volume: the amount of volume this part provides to the heat system. More volume = more thermal inertia, things will heat up and cool down at a slower rate
• iconName: the icon for the system in the UI. Options are:
  • Icon_Atom: atom, used for fusion reactors and engines
  • Icon_Drill: drill, used for harvesters
  • Icon_Engine: engine icon, used for engines in general, typically electric-powered ones
  • Icon_Exchanger: heat exchanger, used for heat exchangers
  • Icon_Gears: gears, used for converters
  • Icon_Nuclear: nuclear trefoil, used for nuclear reactors and engines
  • Icon_Radiator: radiator, used for radiators
  • Icon_Snow: snowflake icon, used for cryogenic fuel containers
  • Icon_Tank: fuel tank icon, used for coolant tanks
• currentLoopID: the default loop ID of the part. Can be set from 0 to 9. Can be omitted if not required; will default to 0.

Note

This page previously listed Icon_Nuke which is invalid. It should be Icon_Nuclear
