Steam Engine
VIEW SOURCE

The Steam Engine is a block that provides Rotational Force. It has the

highest Stress (SU) capacity of all the survival-mode power-generating blocks, with
comperable Stress capacity to the Creative Motor. It converts the pressure caused by
heating Water in a Fluid Tank into rotational motion, allowing large scale item
production and multiple contraptions.

Usage
Steam Engines use heated Water for power and are placed on Fluid Tanks used as a
boiler. At least 4 Fluid Tanks and 1 heat source block are required. A Shaft can be
used on the engine to make a kinetic output.

The amount of power generated is determined not by the Steam Engine but by the
boiler based on the type and number of heat sources, size of the boiler, and amount
of water flow. Multiple Steam Engines can be attached to a single boiler; however,
this will not increase the total power generated by the boiler. Increasing the total
power requires that one or more of the three characteristics (heat, size, water) of the
boiler be increased.

All passive heat sources generate the same amount of heat. More power can be
generated with the help of Blaze Burners, which produce varying amounts of heat
depending on their state. Adding additional fluid tanks and water-input pipes can also
generate more power. At higher power levels, more Steam Engines are required to
extract rotational power from the boiler.
The water requirements for a steam engine depend on its level, with higher levels
consuming more water. To control the flow of water, you can use a Fluid Pump and
a Rotation Speed Controller, or another method for adjusting the pump's speed. This
allows you to achieve different fluid transfer rates for different engine levels.

When operating a steam engine, it's important to ensure that you have the correct
amount of water flowing through it. For each level of a steam engine, you'll need to
supply it with 10mb/t of water. If the water source directly touches the fluid pumps,
you can use the fluid transfer rate to calculate the rpm:

 For a level 1 (passive) engine, a fluid pump running at 20rpm is

sufficient.
 For a level 9 (heated) engine, a fluid pump running at 180rpm is
required.
 For a level 18 (superheated) engine, you'll need two fluid pumps
running at 180rpm each.
Viewing Power Levels
Power levels can be inspected by viewing the boiler with the Engineer's Goggles or
by attaching a Display Link and a display block. The required water input rate will
also be highlighted in this display if insufficient. The levels are shown as a number
representing the number of Steam Engines that can be attached. The maximum
number of power levels is 18. Eighteen Steam Engines each producing their
maximum power of 16,384 SU gives a maximum boiler stress capacity of 294,912
SU.
Heat sources
 Passive (0 heating levels)
  Fire
  Campfire
  Lava
  Magma Block
  Empty Blaze Burner lit with Flint and Steel
   Blaze Burner (smouldering)
 Active (1 heating level per Blaze Burner)
  Blaze Burner (heated)
 Overclocked (2 heating levels per Blaze Burner)
  Blaze Burner (super-heated)
Trivia
 Steam Engines can overstress separately. This means that if
one overstresses, the rest will continue to generate stress units.
This makes it possible to make a steam engine that never binds
up.
 Unlike machines in various other mods, which may use only a
small amount of water and store excess for later, a Steam
Engine setup does not store water, despite being made of Fluid
Tanks. Water is, "evaporated" upon insertion whether it
surpasses the requirements of the engine or not, and any liquid
stored beforehand in the Fluid Tank is instantly voided.
History
 0.5.1: Boiler status now highlights information about water flow
when insufficient.
 0.5: Introduced, replacing the Furnace Engine as the premier
source of power.
