Overview

This mod adds a self-recording thermometer.
Once placed, it automatically records temperature at regular intervals (default: once per in-game hour).
You can right-click it to see a report of daily min/max temperatures.

Crafting

It can be crafted from any log, any metal nugget, and four sticks.
See 'Thermometer' page in the handbook for shape.

Copying Data

Recorded data will be lost when a thermometer is broken, but you might want to move it a block or two without losing the data.
For this purpose, you can copy data between two thermometers.

  1. Right-click the source thermometer with a parchment or four dry grasses to create a recorded chart paper
  2. Right-click the destination thermometer with the recorded chart paper to copy data from the source

Warning: Don't break the source thermometer before step 2, or the step will fail and the source data will be lost.

Materials used for a recorded chart paper will be returned when used on a thermometer.
(This behavior is available even if the source and destination are the same, so if you accidentally created a recorded chart paper, just use it on the same thermometer again to get the materials back.)

Commands

/thermo force-sample-all

Forces the targeted thermometer to get temperature data over the entire retention period (one in-game year).

Configuration

Path: VintagestoryData/ModConfig/airthermomod.json

samplingIntervalMinutes

Interval between temperature recordings in in-game minutes.

Help/Contact

If you encounter any problems or have feature requests, please do one of the following:

  • Create an issue on the GitHub (click Issue Tracker tab on this page)
  • Post in the forum thread for this mod on the Vintage Story Discord server (click Homepage tab on this page)

These methods align with how I handle reports for other mods (even for other games), making it easier for me to track and respond.
Note: Comments on this page are rarely checked.

Other Notes

  • The thermometer recipe is intentionally simple to ensure it is accessible to early-game players. More immersive recipe/crafting is not planned currently, but feel free to patch the recipe or fork the mod source to suit your preferences.

Very excited to mess around with this. No more mental graphs.
