// 3. Apply Thermodynamics (Delta T) float netHeat = (totalHeatGenerated - totalHeatDissipated) * deltaTime; currentGlobalTemp += netHeat; Constraint: Standard Radiators are 50% less effective due

"The Solar Flare" Objective: Survive 5 minutes while the sun increases ambient temperature by 200%. Constraint: Standard Radiators are 50% less effective due to solar radiation. Solution: Players must rely on stored coolant (limited resource) or build underground thermal batteries to store the heat temporarily, requiring a shift in base layout strategy.

This script demonstrates how radiators are more effective when it is colder outside (thermodynamics logic).
