Overview

Steam is a new type of energy introduced in RC. He can be directly used (steam furnace), or various steam engines to generate BC energy (MJ) or direct power generation (steam turbine).Mainly produced by steam engines.The steam engine is a large -scale "mechanical".It consists of two parts: combustion room and boiler room.

Build a steam engine

There are two types of burning rooms on the bottom layer, with two types, one is a liquid burning room, and the other is a solid burning room.There are three types of size, 1*1,2*2,3*3, that is, a square with a length of less than 4m.Subsequently, you can place a boiler room above the burning room, there are also two: low pressure and high pressure.The size in the horizontal direction should be the same as the combustion chamber, and the height changes with the size of the burning room. The details are as follows:

Burning room size Boiler height 1*112*21-23*31-4

The more boiler rooms, the greater the steam output, and the longer the time to reach the maximum temperature.But if possible (that is, you can withstand huge construction costs and operating costs), make a larger steam engine as much as possible!This is both my suggestion, but also a suggestion for many editors of the official wiki.

Preheating steam engine

So now, you already know how to build a steam engine and his legal fuel.But there is another point to note: please inject fuel and water from the combustion room.Inject the water into the boiler room, you're done!It will eventually explode and leave you a big pit.

Now we assume that you have read the above content, then the boiler is burned. You can put the fuel and water into the burning room, and see that the material of the combustion room has changed. Open the GUI to see, WTF!, There is no steam output!Please calm down & patiently, the steam engine is preheating, the temperature has not reached 100 ° C, how can the water be opened (although the boiling point of the high pressure down water is higher than 100 ° C)?

After waiting for a long wait, the water finally opened, and the steam engine began to output!Preheat!But this is just the beginning ...

Use steam

So your steam engine is output, how can we use steam?We have mentioned earlier that the use of steam is indirect and direct. Indirect use of steam generally refers to using steam drive generators/engines to obtain other types of energy, and then drives machines.The method of using steam (in the original RC) is very single, that is, driving the steam furnace. Of course, you can also try to inject the steam into the locomotive, but this is not good, which can not save fuel (assuming that your boiler has burned burningAt the highest temperature).If you install a version of 3.0+ GT, then you can accept the steam input by installing a plug -in to the GT machine.

Indirect use is a relatively common method of use. It can be converted into MJ through steam engines at all levels, or transfers to steam turbines.

When using steam, there are two points to pay attention to:

1. The steam engine does not require wooden pipes to extract steam when outputs steam.

2. Machines using steam can be placed directly next to the steam engine, and it will automatically extract steam on demand.

calculate

Steaming output = k * Number of boilers * temperature/maximum temperature. K is determined by the type of boiler, the low -pressure boiler room is 10, and the high -pressure boiler room is 20

The maximum temperature of the low -pressure boiler room is 500, and the maximum temperature of the high -pressure boiler room is 1000

10 RF = 5 STEAM

160 MB of steam per 1 mB of water

Each tick fuel consumption = ((8- (number of boilers * 0.1) + (0.8 * temperature/maximum temperature) + (4 * maximum temperature/1000) * number of boilers)/time of each cycle

Low pressure per cycle 16tick, high pressure per cycle 8tick

PS: If you don't want to calculate yourself, then please use this, here you will not provide the tutorial and explanation of this!<-This is left by the previous tutorial, not sure if it is still valid

Steam production of steam engines

The steam production is only related to two factors: the number of boiler rooms and the type of boiler room.Each low -voltage boiler chamber produces 10MB/T, and 20MB/T is produced in each high -pressure boiler room.

Heating speed

It has nothing to do with fuel, the constant value is 0.2heat/t = 4heat/s.This also means that when there is always fuel, 20S can enable the steam engine to complete the heating process from 20 ° C to 100 ° C.
