RimWorld Odyssey Temperature Guide for Ships and Gravtech

Effective temperature management on your gravship in RimWorld Odyssey requires a combination of:

  • Coolers and heaters
  • Sealed environments using specialized walls
  • Strategic power distribution

Understanding Gravship Temperature Mechanics

Space Exposure Risks

Unprotected areas become vacuum chambers during spaceflight if not built with Gravship Hull walls. Consequences include:

  • Instant temperature drop to vacuum levels
  • Oxygen loss threatening colonist survival

Note: Planet-based travel doesn’t require vacuum protection.

Climate Control Basics

  • Standard temperature regulators function normally in sealed rooms
  • Prioritize consistent power supply for critical systems:
    • Medical facilities
    • Food storage
    • Hydroponics bays

Creating Temperature-Controlled Zones

Structural Requirements

  • Use Gravship Hull walls for all exterior surfaces
  • Avoid compromises: windows, vents, or standard doors weaken thermal integrity

Habitat Design

  • Maintain living quarters at 18°C–22°C using distributed heaters
  • Implement double-door airlocks to minimize temperature fluctuations

Freezer Construction

  • Position coolers with hot sides facing space
  • Set target temperature to -2°C or lower
  • Limit access through restricted zones or scheduling

Specialized Area Management

Agriculture Zones

  • Keep hydroponics between 10°C–30°C
  • Install backup heaters for cold environments

Medical Facilities

  • Optimize recovery with 21°C ambient temperature
  • Prevent hypothermia risks in treatment areas

Critical FAQs

Q: Do heaters and coolers work in orbit?

Yes, with proper sealing and power.

Q: What happens to unsealed rooms in space?

Instant depressurization and lethal temperature drop.

Q: How to vent heat effectively?

Direct cooler exhaust toward vacuum via exterior walls.

Q: Sealing requirements for planetary travel?

None – vacuum only affects space operations.

Q: Optimal habitat temperature?

18°C–22°C for comfort and efficiency.
