Steam Turbine Deprecated Temperature

[franelasd]

The old Steam Turbine was built to endure extreme heat, operating in Steam environments.

Currently, Steam Turbines stop functioning at 100°C, yet they still overheat at temperatures exceeding 1000°C. This seems inconsistent.

I suggest adjusting the overheat temperature to 75°C (167°F), in line with other machinery, with the usual material-based bonuses.

This change would only improve consistency and is not game changing.

that would break a ton of designs for no reason

I don't agree, since almost every single design is just the steam tubine being cooled by the aquatuner or wheezeworts. But, if it makes everyone happy the overheat temperature could be 100°C since the turbine can't even run at that temperature already. 

The main consistency problem is it being overheated at 1000°C when Its worthless at 100°C.. I mean the Turbine itself has a lot of problems around temps and my feedback/suggestion is not even touching the fact that it can be at -256°C on top and 9725.85°C on the botton without it just melting instantly.

The alpha desing of the turbine was more consistent but also super painful to use and the overheat 1000°C was made for that design and not the new one, the devs just left the overheat number because it just worked I suppose.

So for those who has built ST with Lead they should change the material of all STs to Copper or Steel or something like that. Inconvenient.

You would have to change from aluminum and cobalt for a SCST because they don’t have the +50 overheat temperature. It would be a bad change for sure
