Heat Pipe

The Heat Pipe is a building designed to move heat by attempting to balance heat across adjacent cells.

Heat pipes have a base capacity of 15,000 and cost $1.50M to build. When connected to a heat source, some of the capacity will be used to handle heat flow. It can be upgraded to double the max heat capacity.

Tips

 * Player should first test their setup with a smaller power source first before implementing it to avoid catastrophic losses.
 * Heat flow will dilute in heat pipes further away from the power station, so larger setups should be tested to avoid buildings overheating.
 * Heat will not be balanced if the generator is not directly connected to a heat pipe.
 * Normally, heat sources can only be surrounded by 4 generators at a time, but adding heat pipes allows that heat to be distributed to more generators, and support heat sources that would otherwise lead to explosions.
 * They also spread heat evenly with other heat pipes so players can make long chains and connect more than 8 generators to a source.
 * The Heat Pipe will be unable to distribute heat evenly in larger setups, likely due to heat being diluted as it travels more than 2 tiles away.

Bug

 * The Heat Pipe may fail to distribute heat evenly.
