Planet Light and dark side temperatures

As part of the big update, could the temperatures on planets be fixed. At the moment the light and dark side remain the same temperature. Shouldnt the light side be warmer than the dark side.

Also, planets closer to the main star should be hotter again, meaning that people would need to stay out of the sunny side in extreme cases. Obviously this wouldn't happen on all planets just those close to the star.

Since there is no atmosphere there is only radiated heat, no thermal transfer through gas. The surface would be hot, but we already go closer to the star than the planet exists, and we don't burn up. Since there's only radiated heat, the ship should absorb the heat as well whether or not it is landed.

Our SRVs travel over volcanic ground, right near extremely hot areas. It doesn't seem have an effect.

Also, I haven't seen an actual temperature readout on the ship or SRV, just a % of total heat level. Maybe I missed it?
