I think I see where I was having a problem and why no-one else on the internet was having issues cooling their petrol engines, except for how they'd industrial box them. I would nuke my colony if I didn't consider how many hours it took to get to this point.

That is very disappointing that Klei put in a mechanic where there's thermal capacity per gram but the temperature machines run on absolute values that defy physics.
Or am I, the wikis and the entirety of the internet wrong about this? This has to be wrong, right? Even without asking if petroleum AND oil's better thermal conductivity would make it cost less per energy, it should have an equivalent electrical cost as any other material, right???
Is this why everyone swears off thermo regulators as a useless garbage noob trap?
