Entropy.Adiabatics [obsolete]

THE MOD IS OBSOLETE!

Sorry, fixing it would need more time than I have.

Entropy.Adiabatics

Experimental!

This mod is currently in development. It works, at least it should, but untested, unbalanced, unpolished and many patches are still missing. Use it at your own risk! Any feedback is welcomed and appreciated.

Notice:

The mod development is currently temporarily halted due to personal reasons (I'm actively looking for work most of my free time; I'd greatly appreciate if you could assist me with that, and I would be able to get back and try to rebalance it while keeping it realistic enough).

A brutally realistic atmospheric physics overhaul that accounts for adiabatic processes: compressing gasses heat them up, expanding cool them down, based on physical equations, mostly. The physics is brutal, expect ruptured pipes, freezing, exploding fuel mixture lines, etc. Pumps heat up gasses in total, i.e. the input is still going colder, but when the input and output is the same atmosphere it will heat up quickly, from work done by the pump on the gas. Also, active vents and powered vents consume A LOT more power now, while working much worse - because vanilla vents are unrealistic. To resolve that you need to keep their output pressure low by additional pumps or a turbo pump. Portable Scrubber is also much less efficient. But pumps now only consume power when actually doing a work, proportional to the amount of work they do. So, a pump pumping gas from high pressure to low pressure do not consume power. The current implementation still breaks physics and energy conservation in favor of gameplay by doing multiple iterations per tick while consuming power only once per tick. Otherwise grass grows faster than pressure dropping to zero in your powered vent airlock. All patches with pumps involved include configuration to change pump max power consumption, power efficiency, pump volume (lower volume at the same power allows for higher pressure but lower flow), gearing (geared pumps reach indefinitely high pressure, but has lower flow), and number of iterations.
