staticicarus not a single mod should cause a crash... lol. Unless its not a trusted one... if you install trash mods, sure the game will crash. Im using like 30 mods and not a single crash.

Would be great if you could add the config options to the mod options so we can still update it in the future...

Good job! approved by a mechanical engineer!

This is an excellent mod. I consider it must-have for my play throughs. It is extremely stable - I have never seen it cause a crash. Thank you.

Good art!
Do you plan on adding a sound to it while it's running?

Is any update needed for frosty planet DLC?

↓ This is exceptionally-true in ONI's case.

who said math has no use in the real world? riemann sum vs an integral makes so much sense. wow, all those years in school finally paid off.

Much respect for how you explained how your mod works. The science and game mechanics behind it was a good read

mod works great in dlc ~ 2024.1.7

Can't find the config.json file! Any clues?

It can achieve perpetual motion, please weaken it.

Heat deleted, waste heat, power for default config for one side fixed to 20c https://i.imgur.com/lHgtf6f.png

With this, I don't need to use steam engine to cool down anymore.

I've just realized I messed up a word in my July 5th comment. I said "takes the heat from the area below regardless and converts it into heat" when I meant to have the last word as "electricity". WHOOPS.

Glad to see someone made a mod to include this ingenious yet simple heat engine! Do you have any plans to update the mod to allow the Stirling engine to run in "reverse" to accept a power input and move heat from the cold side to hot side?

I think I botched the "previous_update" version in this last update. Anyone using that branch has to use an older build of the mod than I intended. The current branch is all good though. Sorry!

↓ The Steam Turbine requires absurdly-hot steam in order to function. which is additional setting up. The Stirling Engine simply-takes the heat from the area below regardless and converts it into heat, which is a room-adjacent alternative to the Thermoelectric Generator from the Advanced Generators mod. All of these are good and work intheir own way.

an easier to make steam turbine.

do i understand correctly its lovering heat

You are right. Had to completely unsubscribe/.delete the mod. Start the game. Quit and subscribe again. Thank you.

To the best of my knowledge this mod has been fixed/updated for the current game version. There's probably something going on with your Steam that's always downloading an older version. I hear lots of people are getting this issue on other mods recently.

Love this mod. Still out-of-date. Tried "force update" and nothing. Also, cannot find the config file anywhere.

I have fixed it already. You are using an outdated version if it's still not showing up.

Fix it please.I cannot find this building in construction menu after last game update.

Added this mod and the mod list states that it's not compatible with spaced out

Build: U41-496912-5

Should be fixed, no major balance changes have been made yet but I have substantially updated the description to explain some of the "issues" people are seeing.

求更新

这次缺氧更新好多大佬做的建筑mod都不能在建筑列表找到了

i not anywhere to be found in build menu. it gone

are the stirling engines suposed to run when the heat input is covered by a block

Something I don't understand ... if I hover over the engine it shows I'm producing about 6-7 watts. But when I look at the energy tab, it shows each sterling generator at 100w and my total produced power calculates the full 100w.

So which is it?

@Greystar, I placed them as you would place steam turbines.
Hot below insulated tiles, cold where the Stirling Engine is.

While I really like the concept of these, I can not get them to ever generate full power I've tried to make it so that on the lower half they had very high heat using an Iron Volcano directly below them with Transfer plates leading all the way up to their lower half and pipes with liquid coolant going through them to chill them down on the upper half, when I do get them to run they don't run long. So it might be helpful if someone could make a Youtube video on how these things are Supposed to be set up to work efficiently.

Love this mod. It helps so much. Would it be possible to add support for rotating it?

Thanks for making heat generators! The game wastes so much heat, this is a saver for the planet!

The problem with the balance is with the formula, combined with ONI's law-breaking Thermo-X machines; when you cool the stirling engine closer and closer to 0K, say by using a H2 loop with a regulator (21K-ish minimum), the formula stops working as you would expect and the engine just saps heat and generates power by rather ridiculous amounts.
So at 21K for example, you only need the hot side to be 42K and its already at half power, 84K at 75% power, and so on. Essentially a row of these with a single regulator makes for a rather overpowered sour gas > methane converter.

I suggest changing the formula to be more difference-relative as opposed to relative to 0K, and also dropping the power production to say 50W with much more heat output? real-life heat engines (turbines, pistons, stirling's, etc) can usually only obtain 50% conversion at most so the closer these are to that the more 'balanced' they'll appear.

I'll post this on your github with a bit more detail.

An engine produce at most 1kdtu of heat, air coditioner can cool up to -240 degree at a rate of about 30kdtu. which mean a air conditioner can cool down 30 engine. Each engine can produce about 80W, 1W produce 4kdtu, engine can produce 100W from 10kdtu. a 30engine set need an air coditioner(240W) and 300kdtu(75W), 315W can produce around 2400W, it seems it need some balance. It's too efficient now. 1kdtu or 2kdtu:1W seems to be a better solution.

mod updater or unsubscribe, resubscribe should get this working on current version.

when it try to process extreme hot or cold, it will be IMBA

Yeah ONI uses some obsolete Steam's Workshop APIs which can return outdated files for some people. It seems to be random or maybe regional so the only fix is to download the latest files manually. Mod Updater does that for you and I have marked it as a dependency on all of my mods to help avoid the issue.

If the mod is not updated, subscribe to Mod Updater. Steam is not realizing that Stirling Engine is updated, but Mod Updater will. Seems really weird, but it works.

It was updated, use Mod Updater to make sure you're using the latest version.

Pls update, I like this mod very much, I don’t want to play it without this mod

This is my favorite mod & half my games are no bueno now. Looking forward to the fix.

showing as out of date on my side and did a fresh reinstall of the game

求更新！

Great to hear that :)

Heh. Got it. Expectations set. The mod is super useful without any new features.
