| − | '''[[wikipedia:Temperature|Temperature]]''' is the measurement of how hot or cold matter is. The precise thermodynamic definition is complex, but it can be roughly summarized as the amount of energy embedded into a substance. Temperature has a very direct effect on [[#Pressure, Absolute|pressure]], and vice versa. | + | '''[[wikipedia:Temperature|Temperature]]''' is the measurement of how hot or cold matter is. The precise thermodynamic definition is complex, but it can be roughly summarized as the amount of energy embedded into a substance. Thermal energy will tend to transfer through matter (conduction) from regions of high temperature to lower temperature. Temperature has a very direct effect on [[#Pressure, Absolute|pressure]], and vice versa. |

''Stationeers'' clearly models heat conduction in general. For example, a Pipe will gradually conduct heat between its contents and the surrounding matter to reach equilibrium, and this exchange rate is greatly increased by adding a [[Pipe Radiator]]. It also models the reality that forcibly "pumping" heat from one volume to another (e.g., with an [[Kit (Atmospherics) Air Conditioner|Air Conditioner]] or an [[EVA Suit]]) requires the use of energy, and also that excess heat is not simply destroyed in this process—it still has to be disposed of somehow. | ''Stationeers'' clearly models heat conduction in general.
