Temperature Option
-
I have an idea about the air temperature that I would like to see on a feature update:
It would be good if we add an option to change the air temperature (cold, very cold, medium, hot, very hot etc.) But: If the temperature is different than normal, it will change it and make it colder or hoter.

Try turning on ambient heat, then typing this in the console: sim.ambientAirTemp(10000)
It will change the ambient air temperature to 10000K. You can set it to whatever you want, there isn't a ui option to change it but possibly a lua script could create one. -
we also need a fairenheit option for us americans.

Why? Doesn't do anything helpful. What they DO need to change is the whole celsius/kelvin mess up.

It's not even a mess... Internal the game uses Kelvin everywhere (stuff doesn't go into negative values) and before displaying tempetatures on the HUD they get converted into Celsius. -

Which doesn't really make sense...

@Schneumer
Programmers just hate negative values. -
When using commands starting with !, you can input temperatures like this now: 100C, 451F, 32F, 0C. Or anything like that. So the mix up isn't a problem there.
If custom HUDs ever get added the ability to display in Fahrenheit might. For now, I would use Celsius (or my mod, which does have custom HUDs :P). You don't need to actually know Celsius to read it, just know that higher = hotter really (-273.15C is a good temperature to remember though).
The game source actually used to use Celsius internally, luckily it got rewritten like 4-5 years ago ...Edited 2 times by jacob1. Last: 5th Mar 2014 -
