An Air Conditioner is a BCU-dependent utility item that allows the player to avoid harmful hot conditions inside their base during summer months.

During the heat of the summer, bases can get very hot indoors. Air Conditioners can drop internal base temperatures by as much as -20°.

Air Conditioners draw Power from the base when active. The fan blades animate and the cooling element will light up while the AC is running.

Being within range of an AC Unit will give the character a cooled effect.

Insulation Mechanics

The influence of fires (also radiators and AC units) falls-off as players move further away. It’s percentage of influence is now displayed over the status icon.

Both the Radiator and AC unit are influenced by insulation in the base.

If you have an open-air base, heat from the radiator will be diminished greatly over distance.

However an enclosed base will make much better use of radiator heat and AC cooling.

• Note: Standing by an open doorway will be cooler or warmer respectively.
