Steam Turbine
A multiblock that produces energy from steam
Overview
The Steam Turbine is a complex multiblock generator that consumes steam to spin a rotor, generating energy (E) and producing water as a byproduct.
Construction
Materials
- Steam Turbine Casing
- Pipe Casing
- Steam Turbine Vent
- Steam Turbine Controller
Ports
- Fluid Input Hatch: For steam.
- Fluid Output Hatch: For water (byproduct).
- Energy Output Hatch: For generated power.
Attention
Ports block must be in the same layer with the Steam Turbine controller.
Building

Steam Turbine can do wallsharing
Using a Multiblock Projector will help you building the Steam Turbine easily.
Operation
Mechanics
- The turbine consumes steam in the fluid input hatch to spin up the rotor.
- Rotor Speed increases based on steam consumption and the Accelerator Factor.
- The rotor naturally slows down over time due to friction (Drag Coefficient).
Output
- Energy generated based on the current Rotor Speed multiplied by the Energy Multiplier.
- Condensed steam is output as water. It produces water constantly while spinning, even if not currently consuming steam (dependent on rotor speed > 0).
