-If the machines have been overheated, you can fix them by simply reconstructing them. To do this, first unfasten the exterior bolts with a screwdriver. Next, dislodge the plating with a wrench. Next, remove the internal cables with some wirecutters. After that, you can use a crowbar to remove the internal components and circuit board. From there, you can either deconstruct the empty frame or simply rebuild it. If the machines have been completely destroyed, you're going to want to build more. You're going to have to bug R&D for some really high-tier circuit boards and stock parts, or salvage some parts from other toasted telecomm machines. Keep in mind, you don't have to reconstruct ALL the machines. At the very minimum you need 1 receiver, 1 processor, 1 server, and 1 broadcaster. You might have to manually reconnect to relays if they are destroyed, this involves a long walk.
+=== Kentucky Fried Tcomms ===
+Tcomms will now generate heat and have lag between messages instead of shutting down outright. It works as follows:
+*As Tcomms machinery processes messages, they accumulate '''Delay'''
+*'''Delay''' is time from when Tcomms receives and sends messages
+*The time of '''Delay''' is passively reduced by a value called '''Netspeed'''
+*'''Netspeed''' reduces the delay at 100% at any temperature less than or equal to 150 Kelvin
+*Every 10 degrees Kelvin over 150 will '''reduce Netspeed''' by 1%
+*At 1150K, '''Netspeeed''' is zero and delay will continuously accumulate without reduction.
+*The machinery in Tcomms will passively generate heat while in operation, which will reduce '''Netspeed''' if the air is not cooled
+*The Tcommsat is equipped with a freezer to maintain the temperature of the server room, generally at 80K
+*Should a delay in Tcomms be present, the freezer should be double checked to make sure it is running and connected
+*In cases where the server room is too hot to effectively cool with the freezer, consider venting the server room and adding pre-cooled gas back in
+*High station population may overload tcomms despite the freezer, it is highly recommended that the freezer be upgraded to keep the temperature down
