A Radiator is a BCU-dependent utility item that allows the player to avoid harmful cold conditions inside their base during winter months.

Radiators draw Power from the base when active. While active, the heat elements will light up and emanate heat waves.

Radiators kick-out more heat than Campfires and Woodburners (allowing for higher altitude base-building. They also have a much greater range, so can get better coverage throughout the base.

Being within range of radiator heat gives a slight increase to health regeneration speed.

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.

Crafting

Craft a Radiator inside the BCU craft tab.

Upgrades

The Radiator has two (2) upgrades available.

Power Efficiency

Each upgrade reduces the power consumption by 20%, for a total of 40% decrease.

Without any upgrades, the radiator allows the player to stay warm at a certain power cost.
