Everthing exept for the steam engine T1 is removed and the steam engine T1 is changed to have the same stats as the one in PY.

Original Description

Adds additional ranks of boilers, steam engines, steam turbines, power poles, substations and even nuclear reactors!

Adds a "Primary Load" version of all steam engines and turbines. Primary load engines/turbines take precedence over vanilla engines/turbines (all renamed "Secondary" with this mod). This allows one to build a nuclear reactor, using primary load turbines, and any boiler-powered steam that uses secondary engines will automatically idle if demand is satisfied by primary load engines/turbines.

Examples: 1GW nuclear reactor with primary turbines + 1GW of coal boiler steam with secondary, 800MW load = 800MW satisfied by nuclear and 0MW of production from boiler steam.

1GW nuclear reactor with primary turbines + 1GW of coal boiler steam with secondary, 1200MW load = extra 200MW beyond what the primary load turbines on the nuclear plant can provide will be satisfied by the secondary load engines on the boiler steam plant.

With primary vs secondary engines/turbines, no fancy circuitry is needed to completely idle boiler-based steam after the addition of nuclear for base load power supply, and it will automatically step in to cover any demands beyond what primary sources (primary engines/tubines, or vanilla solar panels) can provide.
