Modular Power Heaters
Information:
Heaters are used to burn fuel to make heat. They have to be placed on a Boiler Platform. Currently, there are 4 variants: Biomass, Coal, Solution and Nuclear.
Once the heater reaches 100 ℃ the attached Boiler will then start producing Steam, the temperature will reach 2 000 ℃ for the nuclear heater. 750 ℃ for the solution heater and 500 ℃ for the rest.
The heater will produce CO₂, which needs to be handled by either venting through a chimney or accumulating into Carbon Dust. If the CO₂ is not resolved and fills the heater, it will stop producing heat and slowly cool down.
