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.
- Boilers or reactors
- Steam turbines
- Pumps or Extractors and Melters
How to set up steam generation
Getting water
To make steam, you first need Water. To get Water you can do either of two things:
- Use Pumps to pump Water from an ocean
- Use Extractors to mine Ice from an ice or rock node and 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 Boilers to make Water and Coal into Steam. Steam turbines require 2 Boilers to run at full capacity
- Use Reactors to make Water and Uranium into Steam. Reactors can make enough steam for two Steam turbines. For more information visit Reactor
- If you dont have access to Coal or Uranium, you can also use zapwires 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 Steam turbine. Make sure to also have a Container storing the Steam
