Tileable steam turbine

A super efficient and compact tileable turbine, generating about 400 energy/sec for a single tile; Only 6 of them sustain firing the laser indefinitely.

Design Intent & Problem Solved

A super efficient and compact tileable turbine, generating about 400 energy/sec for a single tile; Only 6 of them sustain firing the laser indefinitely. Doors are manually closed to control the water flow as a single tile can sustain a whole factory, I often close all but one cell except when I want to fire my laser.

Safe Placement & Cold-Start Checklist

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