Building a High-Output Steam Turbine System for Late-Game Power

Generating and Compressing Steam

When your factory outgrows early-game power sources, construct a steam network to generate massive amounts of Stress Units (SU).

1. Place down a Steam Boiler. Supply it with water and burn fuel inside it to boil the water into steam.

2. Connect Pressurized Pipes and Steam Pumps to the boiler outlets to transport the steam away from the boiler.

3. Route the Pressurized Pipes directly into a Steam Compressor. The compressor squeezes the incoming steam to build high pressure.

Powering the Steam Turbine

Once steam is compressed, you must direct that pressure into mechanical machinery:

1. Run Pressurized Pipes from the Steam Compressor into a Steam Turbine.

2. Connect a Turbine Shaft directly to your Steam Turbine. The turbine converts high steam pressure into spinning motion, and the Turbine Shaft gathers all rotational power from any connected turbines.

3. Connect your main factory drive shafts to the Turbine Shaft to power heavy machinery requiring high SU capacity.

*Note: If you are upgrading from an older mod release, break and replace your existing machinery blocks, as their internal IDs have changed.*
