Steam Machines only works with recipes that requires 32EU/t or less. The steam/t which Steam Machines drain is exact as EU/t for low pressure steam machines. The crafting time is doubled so total steam usage in L is twice as high as EU usage in LV recipe. |

The Compressor is used to compress items; for example ingots into blocks, nuggets into ingots. It uses 2L/t of steam and is compressing a single item for 30 seconds, resulting in a total steam cost of 1200L of steam, with exception for compressed fireclay: 4L/t, 8 seconds and 640L of steam. |

The Extractor uses 2L/t of steam and extracts a single item in 30 seconds, resulting in a total steam cost of 1200L of steam with exception for sugar beet extraction: 8L/t, 16 seconds, 2560L of steam. |

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. |

The Furnace can be used like a vanilla Furnace, using steam instead of Coal to power it. It is using 4L/t of steam and smelts one item every 12.8 seconds, resulting in a total steam cost of 1024L 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. |

The Macerator is used to double the yield of ores. It is using for most of recipes 2L/t of steam and macerates one item every 30 seconds, resulting in a total steam cost of 1,200L per operation. |

These machines are upgraded versions of the other Steam Machines. They will drain steam 2x as fast as Steam Machines, but work at double speed. This means the steam consumption remains the same but you will probably need better pipes to keep up 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. |
