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.
