Due to the way fixed temperature is handled, giving a material a fixed temperature will not cause its actual temperature to change accordingly - instead, its temperature will simply be permanently locked at whatever it was previously. Removing a material's fixed temperature, however, will cause all items made of it to heat or cool until reaching equilibrium with their surroundings. | Due to the way fixed temperature is handled, giving a material a fixed temperature will not cause its actual temperature to change accordingly - instead, its temperature will simply be permanently locked at whatever it was previously.
