Steam Engine

The Steam Engine is a early game (and pre-polymer) method of turning steam into energy similar to the steam turbine.

Usage

Steam Engine setup requiring a boiler, heating box with fuel, and steam condenser.

The Steam Engine requires two external sources to provide steam and reprocess the low-pressure steam produced respectively. Using a boiler connected to a Firebox/Heating Oven (or solar boiler) with water inputs will produce the steam required and connecting the Steam Engine to a steam condenser connected into the water loop will allow you to cycle the water indefinitely. The described process would look something like what is pictured here.
