Engineering Bay (boosted Engine Room 4x4) with Thermal Capacity and Passive Heat Radiation

Description
Adds 4x4 Engineering Bay room.

Boosts thrusters by 50% in 7 tiles radius and distributes power to them. Stores a lot of power, as much as a Capacitor.
...
HVAC functionality added for Overclocked mode.
Engineering Bay now has 20k capacity (1.33x Thermal Battery) and passive heat radiation.
When Overclocked it will drain heat from 7 tile radius akin to Heat Exchanger.

Notes:
This was made to help solve "Symmetry Issues" ;)

Maybe it is time for you to try and go indie dev?
I'll be most likely changing jobs soon, and as a part of my side hustle I plan to finally get around building my own roguealike.
IT jobs may be drying up, but game market is collosal in size right now. May not be a bad idea to cash in on all these gamedev skills ;)

Nice! We've just loved it as an upgrade to the vanilla part.

I would have just sent you my redrawn sprites for you to use, but as our only way of transferring files is to upload as mods to steam, I figured I might as well just go and change all the other little bits (not much tbh, as your mod is perfect!) and then with permission just upload as a mod on its own.

I just enjoy doing art/sprites for the game .. and I particularly like re-doing what someone else has already done, but with my own style. I'm thankful I'm in the position where I can handle the spritework and code work myself.

Btw, my inspiration for Engineering Bay mod was the idea of creating modular ships.
Few large rooms that could be welded together to have a complete ship. Drive Assembly, Reactor Chamber etc were planned, but I never had enough time to do them.

Engineering Bay was the only one created, because people complained about lack of symmetry with regular Engine Room :)

yeah, thankyou!
Nicely enough if someone wanted too they can use both mods. No clash/crashing :)

I've read the disclaimer.. repeatably.. but I still feel I need to ask if I can upload a slightly tweaked and re-sprited version?

Hmm!

But wouldn't it block construction options?
Btw, maybe it is time to update graphics :) The first iteration was done on a napkin really.

I could overhaul it a little, use remaining layer to display heat capacity bar... Will have to think about it. There is a chance August will be quieter month over here. Fingers crossed.

Loving the meltdown/radiator update.. my only gripe is the thermal ports.
Most vanilla things only have ports where doors are located and I can understand design choices of wanting to break that rule. but here the ports on the corners intrude funnily (sprite wise) over the workstations and cut awkwardly into the wall-corner. I feel this part would work fine with having those corner ports removed.
