For each level of a steam engine, you'll need to supply it with 10mb/t of water. When operating a steam engine, it's important to ensure that you have the correct amount of water flowing through it. This allows you to achieve different fluid transfer rates for different engine levels.

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. The water requirements for a steam engine depend on its level, with higher levels consuming more water. At higher power levels, more Steam Engines are required to extract rotational power from the boiler. Adding additional fluid tanks and water-input pipes can also generate more power. More power can be generated with the help of Blaze Burners, which produce varying amounts of heat depending on their state. Increasing the total power requires that one or more of the three characteristics (heat, size, water) of the boiler be increased.Īll passive heat sources generate the same amount of heat. Multiple Steam Engines can be attached to a single boiler however, this will not increase the total power generated by the boiler. 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.

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