(The square you see on the machines in the picture above is the exhaust) The Machine will exhaust steam every time it has completed an operation. It uses lava as fuel and produces 30L/t while heated.ġ bucket of lava equals to 200,000L of steam while it is heated.Īll Steam Machines will have an exhaust side default side for this is the back side. This is the most efficient single block Boiler. It burns fuel twice as fast but produces 15L/t of steam while heated. The High Pressure Coal Boiler works the same way as the Small Coal Boiler. The simple solar boiler needs to be wrenched every once in a while rather than fueledĪlso unlike other boilers, The Simple solar boiler will only extract steam through its output square side default side for this is the back side. This Boiler will be producing less steam over time after being used for more than 3.5 hours (in real life time) It will produce 6L/t of steam while heated It needs to be in sunlight to produce steam. This Boiler does not need coal to produce steam. During the heating process one charcoal lasts 96 seconds. When the boiler is fully heated one piece of charcoal will last for 360 seconds. It will accept all kinds of coal as fuel (not compressed blocks), and will produce 6L/t of steam while heated. However, this is not true for the Lava Boiler as it creates 300L of steam from 1L of water.Īdding water to a dry but heated Boiler will cause an explosion. In most GT boilers 1L of water equals 150L of steam. To avoid problems with automation of these boilers, it is recommended to input water from below and output steam from the top since the sides can be used for both auto input and output, causing steam to get into your water pipes. For information on steam power generation options see here. Information about these Large Boilers will be available in another book.
There are also Multiblock Boilers available in higher tiers. They produce steam in different rates and use more fuel the more advanced they are.
All boilers need both water and fuel to produce steam, except the simple solar boiler, which needs to be picked up and placed back every once in a while rather than fuelled. There are multiple Boilers available in Gregtech. A buffer is helpful because many steam machines consume power faster than you're able to generate it with only one or two boilers. Until you have an Iron Tank, you can use a line of Large or Huge Bronze Fluid Pipe between the boiler(s) and machines to buffer steam. If you have extra resources, I’d recommend building an Iron Tank (Railcraft) and use it as a steam buffer between the Boilers and machines. The steam needed differs between machines and recipes. Steam is produced in a Boiler, and is used to power machines. The machines in this era use steam as energy. Make plenty of bronze as multiple stacks are needed to build your first basic infrastructure. Another option is the Alloy Smelter, which can make Bronze Ingots directly from one tin and three copper ingots. While some other early alloys can also be made this way, a Mixer will be needed for higher tier stuff later on, and Mixers also sometimes give a better ratio of return. You should already have made some to have gotten this far, but if not the dust can be mixed in a crafting table after using a mortar to grind down copper and tin ingots into their dust forms, then smelted in any Furnace. The Steam Age is heavily dependent on Bronze, an alloy of Tin and Copper.
