The temperature sensors seem to favor the temperature they are set to. As in, once they are triggered, they have a hard time cooling even 10 degrees celsius below what you set them to. This is enough for them to stay on. D:<

I think this may also involve air simulation but I don't know. And it seems to happen around relativaly low temperatures. You have to look close but you will notice the surrounding temperature hovering near the set temperature for each sensor, even when they are set to different temperatures. Note: They are within 10 degrees apart too, which may be causing that ranging effect.

Put a space between the TSNS and what it's conducting too, that way it won't detect the heat of the SPRK, spark makes heat

cyberdragon

No effect...still does it profusely.

EDIT: If you veiw each frame, you can see that it most definately outputs it's own temperature. You have a data leak.

can you descibe the problem better? You just don't understand how to properly use TSNS, if you could make an example save that only had a few things in it, and not an entire reactor, I could help. Posting that entire reactor doesn't help me because any design flaw in the entire thing could make you blame the TSNS, when it was really your own fault.

Ok...I ran the machine for a little while and it suddenly stopped. So I looked and the diamond around the sensors wouldn't cool down.

If you look at the signs frame by frame you will notice that each one cools down a little bit below the temperature of the sensor. 83-86 for the 90 degree sensor, and about 99 for the 110 degree sensor. Then it warms up to only a little bit above the sensor temp. 91 for the 90 degree sensor, 111 degrees for the 110 degree sensor. Then it cools down again and the cycle repeats. This may be related to the spark pulses, but they shouldn't be that close to the sensor temp. I think that the sensor maybe giving it's temperature to the spark.

I still can't see the bug, and those signs are getting in the way. They never change temperature in the whole thing.

Also TSNS doesn't conduct heat at all, it will never change temperature.

Have you tried looking at your settings?

It's possible you have a setting on that affects the functionality of your reactor.

Also, modding can sometimes screw with TPT somehow, well, that's what happened to me before. o.0

NOTE: I know the above makes no sense, but it happened.

cyberdragon

No, heat on. And it's still a problem in that example.

And it's getting very serious now. I can heat up only the sensor and the ambient temperature also rises. It is most definately leaking heat.

I'll check for stray processes running in the computer.

Oh, this is with ambient heat? You should have said that ...

TSNS won't give to or be affected by ambient heat, but the spark it gives off might. I'll look into that (although there probably isn't much I can do, try using insulators and stuff)

Edit: And DO NOT use your mod when reporting bugs, if you are using your mod to test this, go into the official version instead. Bugs reported in mods don't count.
