Boilers and Steam Lines

Boilers and steam lines

Steam is a fluid supplied by Power Advantage Revived. The machines consume it in millibuckets; do not compare these amounts directly with the pressure or energy bars of the old mod.

Boiler	What to supply
Coal	Water and a solid furnace fuel.
Electric	Water and Forge Energy. An active tick costs 16 FE and 1 mB water and yields 50 mB steam.
Geothermal	Water and neighboring lava or magma. Heat rises by four per hot face, minus one per tick, and boiling begins at 100. Heat can build even when water is unavailable.
Oil	Water and a tagged liquid boiler fuel. Fuel is taken in 100 mB portions.

Coal, geothermal and oil boilers produce 100 mB steam per active tick from 1 mB water. Boilers push into neighboring fluid handlers, including connected pipes. The steam tank holds 1,000,000 mB and its comparator follows fill. It is reserve storage, not a pump or a pressure booster. To pull from a passive tank into another pipe line, use a Power Advantage extraction terminal. Do not confuse this block with the shaft generated under a steam pump.

The directional steam switch buffers steam between pipe sections and stops output under redstone. Stored steam downstream is not erased. Use separate pipe runs for water, oil and steam: these pipes use Power Advantage's general fluid transport, but steam-only machine tanks will refuse other fluids.
