Wiki Writeup TEG for Dummies: Step 1: Build the TEG But wait, it doesn't look finished yet does it? Next, use the screwdriver to open the two circulators. Use your multitool on the one on the left to change it to 'Cold.' Then unwrench them, and alt-click on them to spin them to line up correctly with the middle engine. To note there is a little indent on one side that should be touching the engine proper. Then wrench them back down, and if you did it right you should see the pipes connect to the circulator. Make sure you close the panels on the circulators with the screwdriver, then wrench the middle component, that should complete the engine and attach the pieces all together. Phew that was just step 1! Step 2: Set up the Loops Step 3: Let loose the gas! |

For the record, this is done at the request of the wiki so that a single person can set up the engine round start with only Station Engineer level access and no external assistance (IE From Atmospherics) and no additional machinery. As far as I'm aware, that is not possible with the current round start layout. |

Uh, reopening this because I totally looked for additional comments before closing it. :^) |

I'm closing this out because the files are all messed up now and I'm going to work out with wiki and mapping teams what the best approach should be moving forward. Especially with that other TEG-related PR open as well. |
This adds a heater to the TEG hot loop. This makes it easier for new/inexperienced engineers, or non-engineers if the station doesn't have any, to set up the engine in a stable way to provide sufficient power to the station.
I have tested this. It's not changing much so there wasn't much to test.
Wiki Documentation
The wiki will need a rewrite for the basic TEG setup. I have most of it written already, I just would need to tweak it to fit what I ended up mapping.
This would replace the current "basic" setup, which involves a plasma burn. That should be kept, just perhaps as an advanced course.
The TEG image would need to be changed.
