There are many ways to generate power, but this is perhaps one of the most adaptive ways to generate power. As long as there is ice or water, you can generate power. This method converts ice into steam, in which that steam is used by the steam turbine to generate power.

== Steam related parts ==

* [[Boiler|Boilers]]

* [[Reactor|reactors]]

* [[SteamTurbine|Steam turbines]]

* [[Pump|Pumps]]

* [[Extractor|Extractors]]

* [[Melter|Melters]]

== Setting up steam generation ==

=== Getting water ===

To make steam, you first need [[Water]]. To get [[Water]] you can do either of two things:

* Use [[Pump|Pumps]] to pump [[Water]] from an ocean

* Use [[Extractor|Extractors]] to mine [[Ice]] from an ice or rock node and [[Melter|Melters]] to melt the [[Ice]] into [[Water]]

=== Making steam ===

now that you have [[Water]] you can make it into [[Steam]]. You can use either of two methods:

* Use [[Boiler|Boilers]] to make [[Water]] and [[Coal]] into [[Steam]]. [[SteamTurbine|Steam turbines]] require 2 [[Boiler|Boilers]] to run at full capacity

* Use [[Reactor|Reactors]] to make [[Water]] and [[Uranium]] into [[Steam]]. [[Reactor|Reactors]] can make enough steam for two [[SteamTurbine|Steam turbines]]. For more information visit [[Reactor]]

* If you dont have access to [[Coal]] or [[Uranium]], you can also use [[ZapWire|zapwires]] or [[Igniter|Igniters]] to make steam.

* Also, make sure to use a [[Container]] to store the [[Water]], or else it wont work

=== Making power ===

Now comes the easiest part, making the [[Steam]] into power by:

* Connect the supply of [[Steam]] to the [[SteamTurbine|Steam turbine]]. Make sure to also have a [[Container]] storing the [[Steam]]
