how do you cool the supermatter without space?!

Discussing the mapping/spriting/coding efforts involved in creating a version of SS13 that takes place on a planet surface. Will be finished Soon(TM)

Freon gas ought to do it. Make an isolated chamber, fill it with freon and run heat exchange pipes through it.

The ocean doesn't go to minus 200°.
And a freon chamber doesn't sound like a lasting solution, unless you want the station to start with half a dozen canisters.

If there's an ocean they should rely on tidal energy.

the supermatter fused with unobtainum during the crash allowing it to be cooled with [whatever is on hand]

Or you could have a non SM engine if people are going to be that concerned over this

Why not just rcd the floor and let the vaccuum of space be your scrubber :3?

Space isn't a good way to actually cool things either but we've been using that for years, the ocean will work fine.

Should have an engine that harvests the rotational energy of the planet with magic magnets or whatever like that one futurama episode. It could span multiple layers, base and lava layer, and we could have an ominous elevator to go down to its core.
If you mess it up, it thoroughly fucks up the planets seasons, making it always night time and very very cold with rapidly changing weather (usually bad weather).

Or you could set up solars, you lazy shit

We will continue to use supermatter because it is our most in depth and interesting engine.

Nothing stopping people from building their own geothermal with pipes I guess though
