Mining can overheating?

[Whackjob]

Seems like the refinery thing overheats quite easily. Anyone know any tricks to radiate that away? Normally I'd try solar panels, but that won't work. Can't attach anything directly to the refinery's sides.

I'm trying something where this would be used in flight. Anyone beat me to this and figure it out, yet?

It will eventually even out, but the heat levels are a bit higher than I intended - this is being looked at.

Maybe if your mining vessel has an exceptionally large mass it can absorb a lot of the heat?

Not sure if you like large vessels though. You might be one of those people who likes really, really tiny ships.

Use wing parts on the part the refinery is attached to as radiators.

I also hear some parts may have their heat production lowered a tad, but heating is now a fact of (space)life, just like IRL.

Aye. I don't mind the heating. I like things being more difficult. It adds a very interesting flavor to the whole business.

Haven't tried wing parts, but did use the aero precoolers. Will try wings.

actually, I would leave it if I were you. This would give us a good reason to use the radiators you talked about adding. As of now, I cannot really think of a use for dedicated radiators.

also, kind of off-topic, but will parts overheat if they are exposed to too much sunlight in space?

Y'know, this is Whackjob you're talking to...
