Better Heating

It has always bothered me that controlled cooling is way easier than controlled heating. Heating buildings either have disgustingly low efficiency like space heater or brokenly high efficiency like liquid tepedizer. They're also rigid: you can't really precisely control the temperature.

Using electricity to generate heat is the most fundamental energy transition, it's definitely way simpler than cooling, so why is it so complicated to heat things up?

Baseline efficiency: Steam turbine=877590/850=1032.46 dtu/w. This is the amount of heat required to generate 1w using ST, the only means of converting heat to electricity directly in game.

Big Heater: consumes max 1000w to generate heat to itself at 100% baseline efficiency up to target temperature. Reduced heat generation when near the target temperature. Target temperature is configurable up to melting point. Doesn't flood, can be placed anywhere. Have high heat conductivity multiplier.

Small Heater: Big Heater but operates on 125w. Also provides warming like space heater. Floodable, only placed on floors. Have high thermal mass multiplier.

Fast Temperature Sensor: Thermo Sensor but faster and more lightweight. When in vacuum, reports building temperature instead of ambient temperature. Allows decimal precision temperature.

Liquid Pipe Heater: Heats liquid in pipes directly by a fixed temperature up to 14c. Power consumption, like Big/Small Heater, is proportional to total heat generated at 63/64 baseline efficiency. Note that the temp config screen shows relative temp in Kelvin, and after it gets converted to Celsius, it becomes quite weird. For example, to configure heating for 14c, you need to input -259.15.

Gas Vent Heater: similar to above, but operates at 5/8 baseline efficiency and have higher configurable temperature range up to 70c.

Conduction Vent: Conduction Panel for gas. Conducts heat exactly like conduction panel, but builds like gas vent bridge. Since it can only be built using raw metals like radiant gas pipes, it has additional thermal mass and conductivity multipliers.

Electric Heat Medium: used to replace tile-door-tile sandwich pattern for controlling heat conduction. When powered, control TC using automation input signal. When on, the TC=TC2. When off, the TC=~TC1/128; for insulated tile, it would be TC1*(2/255)^2. When unpowered, TC=(TC1+TC2)/2. Acts like a tile with half thermal mass.
