 ==[[File:Hud-fire.png]] Heat==
-High temperature can occur for a few reasons. Typically it means there is a [[fire]] somewhere. You will personally overheat if you are fat and overexert yourself. You will be warned that you are burning alive by your sidebar, and the message "You feel a searing heat scorch your lungs!"
+High temperature can occur for a few reasons. Typically it means there is a [[fire]] somewhere. You will be warned that you are burning alive by your sidebar, and the message "You feel a searing heat scorch your lungs!"
 This is how heat works on the station:
-*Heat will pass through windows, grilles, glass doors, and airlocks.
+*Heat is transferred from one gas container in which there isn't a total vacuum to the next. In the most common case, these are two tiles filled with air.
 *Heat kills extremely quickly. Once you get the searing heat message, get as far away from the fire as you can. Don't bother going back for anyone else. If they have collapsed, the heat is already so intense you will surely die before you can get there and back again.
 *The [[firesuit]] will provide protection to the heat of a fire. It will not work without a [[Fire Helmet]] or [[Hard Hat]] with it.
-*Walls and floors can heat up as well, but heat will not transfer through them. An intense enough fire will melt the floor away though, opening the room to space.
+*Walls, reinforced windows etc. block gas exchange between tiles and therefore heat-exchange, you are safe behind a closed door/firelock from a plasma fire ''if it stays closed''. An intense enough fire will melt the floor away though, opening the room to space.
 *Heat can be contained in canisters and used for [[Guide to toxins|bombs]].
 ===Fire===
 Fire is hot. People know this. You can be set on fire under certain circumstances, such as a crazed [[assistant]] drenching you in welding fuel and lighting you with a cheap lighter. If you are on fire, your temperature will rise and you will take constant burn damage. Fire is signified by flames all over your character's body. You can put yourself out by pressing the [[Resist]] button, causing you to drop on the floor for a few seconds as you roll yourself out. [[Fire extinguisher]]s, showers and the VOID OF SPACE also put out fires.
+For most reactions (including plasma fires) the temperature point at which it ignites is 373,15 K / 100°C.
 ==[[File:Hud-temp.gif]] Cold==
-In space, no one can hear your teeth chatter. Space is very, very cold, and going out into a vacuum will cause you to die of freezing before you die of depressurization. This is what makes spacewalks so deadly, even if you have internals. Warm yourself with a hot drink or just returning to a part of the station with air. You will be warned of cold by your sidebar, and the message "You feel ice-sickles forming in your lungs!"

+*O Kelvin is defined as absolute zero meaning you cannot cool something below that threshold, while the coldest Temperature you can realistically reach is at 2.7 Kelvin
