The generated heat can be used for a few purposes, such as speeding up a [[Thermal Evaporation Plant]], or dumping off excess energy. The latter can be especially helpful when one wishes to run a [[Fission Reactor]] for its side products, but the excess energy threatens to shut off the [[Industrial Turbine]] and cause a meltdown. | The generated heat can be used for a few purposes, such as speeding up a [[Thermal Evaporation Plant]], or dumping off excess energy.

* Resistive Heaters are louder the more energy they use: the formula is sqrt(energyPerTick/100 000), which will give you the volume multiplier. | |||

Usage
As shown above, the Resistive heater has a basic UI with a text input slot. In this text input, you can give the Resistive Heater a new consumption rate (in UNITS/t), which is measured in the currently selected unit. This can be changed by clicking the energy icon in the bottom-left corner. The max amount the resistive heater will burn is 10MFE/t, or 25 MJ/t.
The Energy slot can be used to power the Resistive Heater with items holding Energy. The Temperature is measured in (TEMPERATURE/UNIT). The Temperature unit can be changed by clicking the heat icon in the bottom-left corner.

Trivia
- Resistive Heaters are louder the more energy they use: the formula is sqrt(energyPerTick/100 000), which will give you the volume multiplier.
