== Bronze age ==

In this era, you’ll need mostly bronze. Bronze is made with tin and copper. To make bronze dust you’ll need to use the Mortar on tin and copper ingots to turn them into dust. The dusts can then be combined into Bronze Dust which can then be smelted inside a furnace. Once you have crafted your Alloy Smelter, you can craft 4 bronze ingots from 1 tin and 3 copper.

Steam is hot. You’ll need decent pipes to avoid accidents with steam leaks. Wooden pipes can be used for transporting water to the boilers; using wooden pipes for steam might harm you.

Also note that GregTech uses a different method of measuring fluids.<br>1mB = 1Liter = 1L<br>1bucket = 1000Liter = 1 cubic meter = 1 block worth of fluid

⚫

There are 20 ticks (/t) in a second (/s), so when 6mB/t or 6L/t is mentioned, it equates to 120Liters/s or 120L/s

Note:

Gregtech has included another method of measuring liquids. 1mB= 1liter = 1L,

1bucket = 1000liter = 1 cubic meter = 1 block worth of liquid.

== Boilers ==

Line 21:

To avoid problems with automation of these boilers, it is recommended to input water from below and output steam from the top since the sides can be used for both auto input and output, causing steam to get into your water pipes.

Note;

In most GT boilers 1L of water equals 150L of steam. However, this is not true for the Lava Boiler as it creates 300L of steam from 1L of water.

=== Explosion ~~risk;~~ ===

=== Explosion Risk ===

Adding water to a dry but heated Boiler will cause an explosion.

Line 32:

This Boiler does not need coal to produce steam. It needs to be in sunlight to produce steam.

It will produce 6L/t of steam while heated

This Boiler will be producing less steam over time after being used for more than 3.5 hours (~~irl~~ time)

This Boiler will be producing less steam over time after being used for more than 3.5 hours (in real life time)

the simple solar boiler needs to be wrenched every once in a while rather than fueled

Also unlike other boilers, The Simple solar boiler will only extract steam through its output square side; default side for this is the back side.

=== High Pressure Lava Boiler (Steel) ===

This is the most efficient single block Boiler. It uses lava as fuel and produces 30L/t while heated.

1 bucket of lava equals to 300 000L of steam while it is heated.

1 bucket of lava equals to 300,000L of steam while it is heated.

=== Configuration ~~of Steam Machines~~ ===

=== Configuration ===

All Steam Machines will have an exhaust side; default side for this is the back side. (The square you see on the machines in the picture above is the exhaust) The Machine will exhaust steam every time it has completed an operation. If the Exhaust is blocked the machine will not be able to complete its operation. You can change the side of this exhaust with a GT Wrench.

Standing near this exhaust may harm you.

=== Energy ~~usages~~ and ~~uses~~ ~~of different Steam~~ ~~Machines~~ ===

=== Energy and Steam Machine Usages ===

Steam Machines only works with recipes that requires 16EU/t or less. The steam/t which Steam Machines drain can be calculated by multiplying EU/t cost by 2 The crafting time is also doubled with Steam Machines.

=== Macerator ===

The Macerator is used to double the yield of ores. It is using 4L/t of steam and macerates one item every 40 seconds, resulting in a total steam cost of ~~3200~~ per operation.
