Steam Age: Difference between revisions

There are multiple Boilers available in Gregtech. All boilers need both water and fuel to produce steam, except the simple solar boiler, which needs access to bethe picked upsky and placed backresetting every once in a while rather thanfew fuelledhours. They produce steam in different rates and use more fuel the more advanced they are. In most GT boilers 1L of water equals 150L of steam. However, this is not true for theThe Lava Boiler as it creates 300L of steam from 1L of water.

Boiler sides can be used for both auto input and output, causing steam to get into your water pipes. A steady water supply, such as a [[Water Tank]], must be provided to boilers to avoid explosions. If a boiler is allowed to heat up dry or runs out of water while heated, and water is then added to the hot boiler it will explode, potentially taking out other nearby machines.
