==Description== 
Used to cool or warm the gasses within pipes.
*In an atmosphere the radiators will convert energy based on their temperature and the atmosphere.
**If the pipe has a higher temperature then they will transfer heat into the room.
**If the pipe has a lower temperature then they will receive heat from the room.
*Without an atmosphere they will radiate heat into space. Note that they will receive a little energy if the sun shines on them due to the solar constant.

In layman's terms you can think of the radiator as a "valve for heat". It will allow heat (but no gases!) to be exchanged between the pipe it's attached to and the surrounding environment. This "valve" will work bidirectional (heat can flow in both directions). And heat will always flow from the hotter to the colder side.

Pipes without radiators are actually capable to exchange heat with their surroundings the same way on their own. But a radiator will greatly accellerate how fast this exchange will happen. And the effect of multiple radiators on the same pipe system will be cumulative. So you can speed up the transfer even more by placing more than one radiator on the same pipe system. The "shape" of the pipe system is not relevant, though. So a straight pipe with a certain amount of radiators will have the same heat exchange than a pipe of equal length (same amount of pipe segments) and equal amount of radiators, that snakes around or forms any other imaginable shape.

Another factor that will influence how well (and how much) heat will be transfered between the pipe/radiator and it's surroundings is the gas mixture inside both the pipe and it's surroundings. Gases differ in both the "speed" in which they can exchange heat and the "amount" of heat they can "absorb". Pollutants (X) for example are able to exchange heat very quickly, but the "amount" of heat they can absorb is limited. Water (H2O) on the other hand will exchange heat slower that pollutants will, but the "amount" of heat water can absorb is significantly larger.

Passive Vent

80.85.196.24: elaborated on the functionality of the passive vent

{{Itembox
| name = Passive Vent
| image = [[File:ItemPassiveVent.png]]
| stacks = 5
| createdwith = [[Hydraulic Pipe Bender]], [[Fabricator]]
| cost = 3g [[Iron]]
}}

== Description == 
Permits gasses to go through when connected to a pipe network.

You can think of a passive vent as removing the end cap of a pipe system. A pipe on it's own - even if it visually looks different! - is always closed on both ends (unless devices are attached to the end of the pipe). So there will be no exchange of gases between the pipe and the surrounding environment. Heat may be exchanged, but no gases!

If you place a passive vent on the end of a pipe, the pipe and the surrounding environment will basically become one and the same "system". That means the gas mixture in the pipe and the surrounding environment will instantly(!) average out (which may affect the pressure, temperature and mixture of both the pipe and the surrounding environment) and will always be identical after that initial "evening out".

There is no other active component needed for this "evening out" between the pipe and the surrounding environment to happen, the passive vent does this on it's own.

But there will be no gas exchange beyond this "evening out". So if you, e.g. want to transport gas from a room through a passive vent and it's attached pipe system to somewhere else, you need an active component - like an active vent, a pump or filtration unit etc. - somewhere along the pipe.

Kit (Wall)

{{Itembox

| cost = 1g [[Steel]]
}}


The '''Kit (Wall)''' is used to build 3 different type of walls in the game: [[Kit_(Wall)#Composite Wall|Composite Walls]], [[Kit_(Wall)#Railing|Railings]] and [[Kit_(Wall)#Composite Window|Composite Windows]].


[[File:Construction Kit (Walls).png|frameless|A railing, Window, and Wall, all finished.]]


All variants of the walls can be painted to various colors with [[Spray Paint]].

== Recipe == 


* '''1g [[Steel]]'''


This block can be made in: [[Autolathe]], [[Fabricator]]

== Usage == 

=== Railing === 


With the '''Kit (Wall)''' in hand, right click to activate build mode. Use the '''Scroll Wheel''' on your mouse to select '''Railing'''. Use the rotation keys to place the railing in the appropriate location. Railings are single-step constructs.

=== Composite Window === 


With the '''Kit (Wall)''' in hand, right click to activate build mode. Use the '''Scroll Wheel''' on your mouse to select '''Composite Window'''. Use the rotation keys to place the window in the appropriate location. Composite Windows have 3 build steps. To complete the window, first left-click on it with an [[Plastic Sheets|Plastic Sheet]] to add the white facade. Then, finish the window with a [[Glass Sheets|Glass Sheet]]. Composite Windows will only finish one "side" of that window. To get proper finishing on both sides, you would need two of each of the three materials (one set for each side).

=== Composite Wall === 


With the '''Kit (Wall)''' in hand, right click to activate build mode. Use the '''Scroll Wheel''' on your mouse to select '''Composite Wall'''. Use the rotation keys to place the wall in the appropriate location. Composite Walls have 2 build steps. To complete the wall, left-click on it with a [[Plastic Sheets|Plastic Sheet]] to add the white facade. Composite Walls will only finish one "side" of that wall. To get proper finishing on both sides, you would need two of each of the two materials (one set for each side).

== Notes == 
* you can't place structures on walls, but you can place a wall on a frame, place your structures on the wall/frame and afterwards deconstruct the frame. Which will leave you with your structures seemingly attached to the wall.

EVA Suit

80.85.196.24: /* Notes */

[[Category:Items]]
{{Itembox
| name = EVA Suit
| image = [[File:ItemEvaSuit.png]]
| maxpressure = 202.65 kPa
| createdwith = [[Fabricator]]
| cost =
| volume = 10 L
}}

==Description==
Used to be able to go outside a pressurized and breathable environment. It features an adjustable pressure adjustment and air conditioning toggle.

*Cost
**5 Iron
**5 Copper

*Contains 6 slots
** 1x Air Tank - insert a [[Canister]] with 100% O2
** 1x Waste Tank - insert an empty [[Canister]] where waste gases will be stored
** 1x Life Support - insert a charged [[Battery Cell]]
** 3x [[Filter]]s - insert filters if not using 100% O2

==Notes==
* Note that the maximum allowed pressure for the Waste Tank is 4052kPa. Low/critical oxygen warnings will occur close to this value.
* The default filter is the CO2 filter, a gas generated by the characters when consuming breathable air.
* Make sure you only put 100% Oxygen into your breathing tank! If, e.g. you would put the common "compressed air" mixture of 80% Nitrogen/20% Oxygen into your tank, the Nitrogen would accumulate in your suit/helmet over time and suffocate you! Unless you replace one of the suits CO2 filters with a Nitrogen filter. Think of it this way: You start with a 100% Oxygen atmosphere in your suit/helmet. Through breathing you will replace some of the Oxygen with CO2. The CO2 will be removed by the suits filters (which are by default three CO2 filters), in turn dropping the pressure in the suit/helmet. The breathing tank will replenish the suits/helmets atmosphere (with whatever is in the breating tank) until the target pressure of the suit/helmet is reached again. This cycle will repeat over and over. So if you have anything else than pure Oxygen in your breathing tank, it will be introduced into the atmosphere of your suit and helmet and it will accumulate over time (ultimately to 100%, because you're not breathing it and it doesn't get filtered out!). If you're in a pinch and don't have pure Oxygen available, you can use other gas mixtures, but be sure that you add the appropriate filters to your suit as well.

Pipes are used to transport gas. Pipes are one of the possible types of inputs/outputs from a structure (the others being [[Cables]] and [[Chutes]]).

=== Tips === 


* Pipes can store some gas inside of them, which can be used with small airlocks to store gas when depressurizing
* Pipes will burst if the pressure differential between the inside pressure and outside atmosphere is greater than 60,795KPa (plus a random check to allow for short bursts over this limit)
* A contiguous pipe (not interrupted by valves, regulators, pumps etc.) of any length, will always have the same pressure, temperature and mixture over its entire length. No matter at what point of the pipe you're introducing new gases into the pipe, they will instantly and evenly "average out" over the entire pipe.
