Fueling and Starting the Steam Engine

Filling the Fuel Tank

Before driving your steam machine, you must supply it with fuel to generate power. Gather buckets of lava in your inventory and approach your placed vehicle. Look at the left side of the Boilerbox to locate the built-in fuel tank. Hold a lava bucket in your main hand and right-click directly on the left side tank to empty the lava into the vehicle's fuel reservoir.

Engaging the Fuel Valve

After filling the tank with lava, right-click the vehicle's seat to climb in and take the controls. You cannot start the machine from the outside; you must be seated.

1. While sitting in the driver's seat, press the U key on your keyboard to open the vehicle's interactive control panel.

2. Locate the fuel valve control inside this interface.

3. Click and hold the fuel valve to engage the flow of fuel to the engine.

You will hear the engine begin to run and observe smoke pouring from the vehicle, signaling that steam pressure is active and your machine is prepared to drive.
