mlieCentralized Climate Control Mod adds a fully piped, network-based air system to RimWorld, letting you heat or cool multiple rooms through a unified climate network. It introduces air as a new resource, plus intakes, vents, climate units and large late-game machinery for efficient temperature management across your colony.
Centralized Climate Control Mod Features
This version includes translation updates, hidden air-pipes, improved graphics, build-menu cleanup, removal of legacy dependencies, and fixes for crashes caused by very large pipe networks.
- Air Intake Fan: Supplies air to the network.
- Air Climate Control System: Heats or cools air to a target temperature.
- Air Vents: Releases conditioned air into rooms.
- Wall Mounted Air Vents: Compact vent option.
- Large Intakes and Climate Units: High-capacity structures for late-game bases.
Unified Heating/Cooling System
A single machine handles both heating and cooling, removing the need for separate heaters and coolers.
Outside Heat Exhaust
Heat exhaust is placed far from rooms, allowing efficient freezer setups without heat bleed.
Air Network
A network-like system similar to electricity:
- Flow Efficiency: Determines how quickly rooms heat, cool, or maintain temperature (1 Intake Fan per 3 rooms).
- Thermal Efficiency: Determines how fast Climate Control Units adjust air temperature during events like cold snaps or heat waves (1 Climate Control Unit per 3 Intake Fans).
You can check each network’s efficiency at its vents.
Air Temperature Inside Pipes
Pipes retain temperature, affecting how air flows and stabilizes.
Climate-less Temperature Sharing
Networks can distribute ambient or cooled air without requiring multiple Climate Control units. For example, several fridges can share one cooling unit.
Bigger Buildings for Late Game
Larger intakes and climate units offer roughly 5× the power of standard machines.
Pipe Switches
Allows forcing a vent to connect to a specific pipe when multiple networks run nearby.
Compatibility notes
- Known conflict with Redist.Heat Mod.
- Reinstall does not work properly; install/uninstall works as expected.
- Air intakes and vents perform poorly in vacuum.
- Mod is no longer actively maintained and may have undiscovered incompatibilities.
