I discovered this last year
-
I think it's more of an unintended feature.
-
Well, that's what the source code does!
-
so, intended
-
And for clarification, this only applies to HEAC-ELMT (ELMT=any element besides heat-blockers) or HEAC-HEAC temp conduction, not ELMT-ELMT conduction.
-
I individually saw this and tried to make a way around it. In all 8 directions, the HEAC's field of influence extends to 4 pixels. If there is no INSL in the 3-pixel space between HEAC and something else, it will just conduct its heat there.
-
HEAC looks at itself and the particles 4 pixels away in all 8 directions, and sets the temperature of them all to the average temperature, which is why this occurs.
-
Yeah I have individually discovered this and I thought it was a feature and didn't give it any extra thought.

Correction: apparently doesn't have to be exactly 4 spaces, but that seems to be the maximum range. Which means you can use it to transfer heat between things that aren't physically connected
