The TEG used to limit hot-cold energy transfer based on actual power drawn, and had maximum efficiency at whatever temperature difference. This PR adjusts the hot-cold energy transfer to be uncapped, "venting" the excess heat that is not used to generate power, and adds an efficiency curve that limits efficiency at low thermal temperatures. People have been cheesing the TEG by hooking up the hot end to the CO2 miner (which produces infinite, room-temperature gas) and the cold end to a space radiator. With this change, you will actually need to set up a burn chamber in order to get appreciable power out of the TEG (see below). If you build a gas holding chamber, you will have to throttle the gas flowing into the TEG instead of constantly cycling the gas through over and over again.
Space Station 14 is a remake of SS13 that runs on Robust Toolbox, our homegrown engine written in C#.
This is the primary repo for Space Station 14. To prevent people forking RobustToolbox, a "content" pack is loaded by the client and server. This content pack contains everything needed to play the game on one specific server.
If you want to host or create content for SS14, this is the repo you need. It contains both RobustToolbox and the content pack for development of new content packs.

Documentation/Wiki
Our docs site has documentation on SS14s content, engine, game design and more. We also have lots of resources for new contributors to the project.
Contributing
We are happy to accept contributions from anybody. Get in Discord if you want to help. We've got a list of issues that need to be done and anybody can pick them up. Don't be afraid to ask for help either!
Just make sure your changes and pull requests are in accordance with the contribution guidelines.
We are not currently accepting translations of the game on our main repository. If you would like to translate the game into another language consider creating a fork or contributing to a fork.
