RELEASED ErisTech Space Heater 9000!

-Tired of spamming campfires all over the place to keep warm? ErisTech's new Space Heater 9000
Thermal Dynamic Aero Conditioning system will make your life easier! For just 4 easy payments
of 125 pixels, you too can own a veritable furnace of the future!


-The Space Heater is a heat source that has a much greater range and heat value than the regular
campfire. Whereas a campfire will heat you at 70 units per tick, the Space Heater will heat you
for a whopping 200 units per tick! Not only that, but the range has been increased: from a
piddling 8 tiles for the campfire, to a lengthy 20 tiles for the Space Heater!
Don't spam campfires on those frozen ice planets! Let a Space Heater do the work, at a fraction
of the cost!

The recipe:
-Creating the Space Heater system requires that you have access to the Tier 2 recipes
(the Metal Workstation). The recipe for the Space Heater is as follows:

Code:

    - 5 Steel Bars   (for the heat resistant casing)
    - 2 Copper Bars  (for the thermally satisfying electric wires)
    - 1 Yellow Dye   (gotta have a good paint job!)
    - 100 pixels     (I gots ta get paid, brah!)

Alternatively, you can scan a Space Heater into the 3D Printer and print as many as you want for
only 500 pixels a piece!

To use:
-Craft or purchase a Space Heater unit, then place in the world at the desired location.
When you get cold, walk within the heating radius of the object, and marvel as your character
acts less like a popsicle and more like the living, breathing PC that it is!

To Install:

-Drag the contents of the 'spaceheater' folder into the 'mods' folder of your Starbound installation.

-Play!

Edit: Updated to work in Angry Koala! Merry Christmas!

 

This is by far the cutest little box.

 

Thanks! I'm not much of an artist, so I'm pleased that someone else likes it too!

 

Liked for sales pitch.

 

Couldn't get it to work, most likely cause I'm dumb

 

Excellent idea and you didn't cheese it either. Not sure why this got pushed to the 'races' section though. Apparently we all need a bit more warmth in our lives.

 

Too much of a hassle to install. Also i'm not putting anything in my assets folder. The mods folder is supposed to go into the Starbound directory, not the assets folder. Make it compatible with this mod manager and im all in.

 

Too much of a hassle? You drop one folder into your Starbound directory and add one line to the player.config. You can install it to a /mods/ folder outside of /assets/ as long as that folder is referenced in the bootstrap.config file, but if you're concerned about mucking up your game, I suggest you pass on this.

 

Why is this in the Races section again?

 

Most likely just misplaced by the OP. Considering someone asked above you why this was here, i really dont think it needs to be asked again.

OP: AWESOME! Definitely going to be grabbing this.

 

Moved this to the correct subforum.

 

In hindsight, this is OP now that the nanostove is in the game. There's a tier10 mod out there and it's not even as good as this one as written. I do like the idea of a tier2 space heater, though. Now I want to sprite the glowy red space heaters from the Rebel base on Hoth. :O

 

Idea: Air bubble maker, makes you able to live on a meteor\moon without the "living machine tinghamabob"! limited space but still better than that machine!
