MythN7 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 got a gas pump and filter above the turbine to push the steam back under it, and have wolf mesh and air tiles to help heat up the water spitting out so it turns to steam and not drips down. Dont know why it wont fire up. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/88722-why-cant-i-get-this-steam-turbine-to-fire-up/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neotuck Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 What's the steam temperature? needs to be at lest 252C Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/88722-why-cant-i-get-this-steam-turbine-to-fire-up/#findComment-1015596 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can a geyser even supply a turbine on its own then? If it cant, shouldent it be called a water geyser not a steam? this is my 3rd attempt over the weeks to try and make steam power, and i can say ive wasted at least 20 hours of time just building setups. Cant find a tutorial vid on a basic setup, cause all the vids out there are of people in debug mode spawning heat and steam and insta building the stuff, so they are doing stupid elaborate setups just to show off or what not.

We get HOT steam fumaroles that should run a turbine but only when they are active. Also get volcanoes for free magma so once the update goes live I'm sure there will be plenty of videos being made on turbines Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/88722-why-cant-i-get-this-steam-turbine-to-fire-up/#findComment-1015603 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel bad for your wasted time but I wish you checked with the forums first, it's well known here that turbines was a useless addition to the occupational update.
