指南

Steam is a fluid resource generated by processing Ignium-Enriched Water in a geothermal generator or boiler. Unlike solid items, steam cannot be picked up or stacked in inventory and must be transported through pipe networks.

Serving as both a power medium and a process input, steam is essential for operating turbines and for certain chemical processes. It plays a key role in advanced production lines, such as those involving Impure High Density Olumite and waste gas management.

Players often encounter friction when connecting steam production to its consumers. Proper pipe routing and machine connections are crucial to ensure reliable delivery and avoid interruptions in power or processing.

提示

• Double-check all pipe connections between boilers and turbines to prevent 'missing fuel' errors in your steam turbines. Even a small gap or misaligned pipe can halt power generation.
• Only steam produced by processing Ignium-Enriched Water in geothermal generators is usable for machines - raw steam from geothermal vents cannot be piped directly into turbines or processing equipment.
• Design your piping layout to keep runs as short and direct as possible, reducing the chance of bottlenecks or flow issues when delivering steam to multiple machines.
• Be mindful of pipe throughput limits when expanding your steam grid. As you add more turbines or processing machines, ensure your pipe network can handle the increased steam flow without starving downstream consumers.

常见问题

Is there a definitive boiler-to-turbine ratio for optimal steam usage?

The optimal ratio depends on your specific power demands and pipe throughput. Each geothermal generator produces a set amount of Steam per cycle, so ensure your turbines' combined consumption does not exceed your total steam output. Monitor your network for signs of turbine starvation and adjust boiler or turbine counts accordingly.

Does steam from geothermal vents require enrichment, or can it be used directly in turbines?

Steam from geothermal vents must be generated by processing Ignium-Enriched Water in a geothermal generator or boiler. Raw vent steam cannot be piped directly into turbines or used as a process input - only the processed steam is compatible.

What are the precise throughput limits for pipes delivering steam to turbines?

Piping throughput for Steam is limited by the line type and network layout. Long or complex runs can restrict flow, especially when supplying multiple machines. For best results, use the shortest and most direct routes possible, and consider splitting your network to avoid bottlenecks as demand increases.
