About this project

What does Better insulation add?

Description

If you're like me, at one time you tried to make a custom window and wondered why you were freezing to death inside your own house. That's because the game is very picky about what counts as an insulating block face when it comes to chiseled blocks: 50% of the face of the block (voxels directly against the block face) must contain material. So a glass pane in the middle of the block doesn't count, even if it does completely block the outside world.

This mod changes that. Instead, for each position on the face, it checks whether that row contains a voxel anywhere within the block. As in vanilla, at least 50% of the face must be covered.

Performance concerns

Does it hurt performance? No, not at all! The new calculation is not complex and it only happens when a chiseled block is changed. The insulating faces are cached to be used later, in case a room changes. On save load, it needs to calculate again, but that is true for vanilla as well. The performance impact should be negligible.

Safe to add/remove to ongoing saves?

Yes!

Mod compatibility

Should conflict with other mods that change the insulation logic, for obvious reasons
