Obtaining Fuel: Boilers require fuel to run, the two most common being charcoal and creosote oil. These fuels can be obtained from 3 main sources- Railcraft coke ovens, which are cheap and obtainable early but very slow, producing creosote and charcoal, advanced coke ovens which are much faster but more expensive and do not make creosote, and pyrolyse ovens, which are the most expensive but produce charcoal very fast, as well as yielding more useful byproducts instead of creosote. Coal ore can be processed in a sifter to get large amounts of coal for use in steam production also.
In later tiers, large quantities of steam can be produced by the use a [[Large Heat Exchanger]] fed by lava, which is able be produced infinitely. This allows for an essentially infinite power generation system when coupled with Large Steam Turbines.
