Two simple suggestions to further improve steam turbine


Recommended Posts

First of all, the development build version of the steam turbine is awesome! Many thanks for listening to the community.

Suggestions:
1. Increase minimum steam pressure to 3-5 kg - it's more realistic in game pressure units, and will not ruin anything. Just one gram looks ridiculous, sorry. It’s 1000 times less than normal air pressure; it just can't turn turbine blades (and can’t push steam engine pistons too).
2. Increase maximum input temperature to 400-500 C and power output to around 2-3 kW. The target equality (to put the aquatuner out of the power generation game) is: 1'181'600 DTU/s heat input ≤ 1'200 W power output; or 125+141.4 C temp. input ≤ 1'200 W power output; or 125+141.4+141.4 C temp. input ≤ 2'400 W power output; etc. For example, [125...400 C = 0...2'000 W] would be nice. Each turbine requires pretty complex infrastructure, so again it won't ruin anything, just will make steam turbine more usable for generating power (at the moment its main usable purpose is cooling - I bet you didn't plan it).
