Line 6:
[[Steam Age|Steam]] is the first power source you have access to, and is the fuel for the first Bronze and Steel machines. Upon reaching LV, it is also the starter fuel for generating EU, but it falls off in the next two tiers due to how difficult it becomes to transport a lot of Steam around to match the EU/t demands of your upgraded machines, especially your Electric Blast Furnace.
 
Production: Steam is produced in boilers, of various types. All boilers require 1L of water per 150L160L of steam produced. If a boiler runs out of water, and is then fed more water while it is still hot, it will [[explode]], so make sure you've got enough water production for your boilers! 2L of steam makes 1 EU, multiplied by the efficiency loss of the steam turbine.
 
The first set of boilers available are the Small Boilers. All of these are available in the Bronze age, and are the backbone of your first machines. Included in this lineup are the [[Small Coal Boiler]], the [[High Pressure Coal Boiler]], the [[Simple Solar Boiler]], [[High Pressure Solar Boiler]] and the [[High Pressure Lava Boiler]].
