crusher to create carbon which then goes to the vacuum boiler for steam
There is no recipe in the vacuum boiler that uses carbon.
Sorry this was the old method, the actual process is as follows
Mine oxide meteorite chunks.
Initially, use their hand-crushing recipe if your Steam Crusher has no steam yet.
Produce ice using Oxide asteroid crushing.
Use Ice melting to turn the ice into water.
Combine water, iron ore and calcite to produce thruster oxidizer.
Use Thruster oxidizer separation to produce oxygen.
Hand-crush or process carbonic meteorite chunks to obtain carbon for fuel.
Place a Vacuum Boiler.
Select Advanced water boiling.
Supply:
Water through one input
Oxygen through the other input
Carbon or another compatible fuel in its fuel slot
Remove steam and carbon dioxide through separate output pipes.
