Heaters are placed on the floor. Unlike most objects, they can't be rotated, but can be uninstalled. A [[power]]ed heater will warm up an enclosed room up to the target temperature, ignorant of placement. A heater in the corner of the room is as effective as a heater placed in the center. The heat naturally spreads throughout rooms, sped up by open [[door]]s or [[vent]]s. One heater can only warm so much, and factors like room size may make the target unreachable - see [[Temperature]] for more details. | Heaters are placed on the floor.

| − | Heaters have two states of power consumption: high | + | Heaters have two states of power consumption: low and high. A heater that is actively heating consumes 175W (high power). If heating isn't required to mantain the target temperaturee, it consumes 17 W (low power). If the room's surroundings are colder, then heat will constantly spread out, so a heater will remain at high power. If you have multiple heaters in a room, you can exploit this by having each one be 1 degree higher than the last - one will actively heat the room, while the others will be in low power state. |

Heaters can theoretically warm up to 1800 degrees, total - 1 tile by 1800 degrees, 50 tiles by 36 degrees - but this is before considering heat leakage. Simple testing reveals that with an exterior temperature of {{Temperature|-17}}, a single heater with a target temperature of about {{Temperature|20}} can maintain a room with a 9x9 exterior. A single heater with a target temperature of {{Temperature|10}} can maintain a room with an 11x11 exterior. | Heaters can theoretically warm up to 1800 degrees, total - 1 tile by 1800 degrees, 50 tiles by 36 degrees - but this is before considering heat leakage.
