Steam drain for LP and HP machines were wrong, also times and total steam costs of operations.

(Steam drain for LP and HP machines were wrong, also times and total steam costs of operations.)

=== Energy and Steam Machine Usages ===
Steam Machines only works with recipes that requires 16EU32EU/t or less. The steam/t which Steam Machines drain can beis calculatedexact by multiplyingas EU/t costfor bylow 2pressure steam machines. The crafting time is also doubled withso Steamtotal Machinessteam usage in L is twice as high as EU usage in LV recipe.
 
=== Alloy Smelter ===
Line 61:
 
=== Compressor ===
The Compressor is used to compress items; for example ingots into blocks, nuggets into ingots. It uses 4L2L/t of steam and is compressing a single item for 4030 seconds, resulting in a total steam cost of 32001200L of steam, with exception for compressed fireclay: 4L/t, 8 seconds and 640L of steam.
 
=== Extractor ===
The Extractor uses 4L2L/t of steam and extracts a single item in 4030 seconds, resulting in a total steam cost of 32001200L of steam. It’swith requiredexception for yoursugar firstbeet rubberextraction: 8L/t, 16 seconds, 2560L of steam.
It’s required for your first rubber.
 
=== Forge Hammer ===
The Forge Hammer can be used to crush ores. It can also be used instead of the Hammer (GT Tool) to create plates and other items. It is more efficient than using the hand hammer, creating 2 plates with 3 ingots. Most recipes actually process quite fast.
It will use up to 32L30L/t of steam, depending on the recipe.
 
=== Furnace ===
The Furnace can be used like a vanilla Furnace, using steam instead of Coal to power it. It is using 8L4L/t of steam and smelts one item every 12.8 seconds, resulting in a total steam cost of 20481024L steam, so overall is more fuel efficient than a normal furnace. Also smelting iron nuggets yields wrought iron nuggets which has 1.5x more durability than normal iron.
 
=== Macerator ===
The Macerator is used to double the yield of ores. It is using 4Lfor most of recipes 2L/t of steam and macerates one item every 4030 seconds, resulting in a total steam cost of 31,200L per operation.
 
=== High Pressure Steam Machines ===
These machines are upgraded versions of the other Steam Machines. They will drain steam 3x2x as fast as Steam Machines, but work at double speed. This means that the Steamsteam consumption isremains doubledthe comparedsame but you will probably need better pipes to Steamkeep Machinesup with steam drain of those.
They are more efficient than LV machines if you consider efficiency of steam turbines, but they require more infrastructure to be automated.
