Design Intent & Problem Solved
A small , single cell steam engine. You must connect the liquid vent to water, add a layer of lava to the bottom of the engine, and then drop a block of 16 water (recommended) on top of the lava. This design can be tiled to create a large steam engine array. Requires you to have unlocked snow machine.
