The [[cooler]] is primarily used to lower the temperature of a room. It has two states of power consumption: low and high. In its low state, the cooler produces no heat or cold but still requires 20 W. It can be used to lower the temperature of a room to a comfortable {{Temperature|20}} (room temperature) in the summer or create a walk-in freezer for your food. In hot biomes such as desert or rainforest, having comfortable air conditioning is a necessity for any base. | The [[cooler]] is primarily used to lower the temperature of a room.

− | Coolers are heat pumps that produce both a cold side ''and'' a hot side. The hot side is rarely useful and should be directed to an outdoor space (or a 1x1, unroofed room) to not inconvenience your colony | + | Coolers are heat pumps that produce both a cold side ''and'' a hot side.

Never block a cooler's intake or exhaust port, or else it won't function. |
A cooler is theoretically able to cool a single square by about 1800 kelvin [K]. But this is not a linear relation, as a room always exchanges heat with adjacent rooms and/or the outside. | A cooler is theoretically able to cool a single square by about 1800 kelvin [K].
