That's how it worked in the previous system as well...so doesn't really seem like much of an issue, aside from the fact that one person thought that it took heat sinks into account.

I thought they only affected the base engine heat sinks?

I would love to know what test equipment or test program one could use

to test in game items

More importantly, does Cool Run node in Operations tree factor in DHS? Cause it didn't in previous iteration.

I remember Chris saying that those nodes affected heatsinks under the new skill tree.

From PGI Dev Chris Lowrey:

just want to poke in and say that Heat Containment factors in the total heat threshold of the 'Mech (Base + Value gained through your heatsinks,) and cool run factors in your total heat sink efficiency.

A Note on Heat Containment

Chris Lowrey, on 22 August 2017 - 09:46 AM, said:

Hey everyone.

So recently there was some talk regarding the "Heat Containment" skill not effecting anything past the base level heat threshold. We have looked into this and have found this to indeed be the case and the skills are currently not working as intended. We will be submitting a fix for this with the September patch.

The intent of the Heat Containment skills are to have them act as a modifier for the total heat threshold including what you gain from equipped heatsinks.

We know that this has been a topic of discussion for a bit, but we wanted to ensure that we had a solution in place before forwarding any information along.

Thanks.

Kudos to Chris for stepping up like that. <o
