Design Intent & Problem Solved
Compact steam engine that outputs somewhere in the 200 range of power per second. Just add small amount of lava and water by hand and hook it up to water output and youre up and running.

Safe Placement & Cold-Start Checklist
- Place the module in open space with 2-block perimeter clearance before connecting production lines.
- Confirm research prerequisites, conveyor speed match, and liquid drop-pipe heights.
- Leave an inspection gap so any blocked Shaker or mineral slurry overflow can be drained safely.
- Verify power grid capacity satisfies the initial startup spike before feeding raw ore.
