g Steam temp output

a month ago

Is there a way to add config to change output steam temp. from turbine?
i`m using (Fluid Heat Dissipation) by "valertron" together with this mod to add realism into steam mechanics.
Сombination of these two mods feels like disaster although changing temp from 15° to 105°-115° will likely fix any problems.
(Cold stem condenses immediately after leaving turbine and blocks a flow) almost like "moist steam" in real turbines except erosion)
Thanks in advance

I managed to do it, but it'a a little hacky, also only for 2.1 for now. https://github.com/stefanklass1-commits/Condenser-Cycle/tree/experimental

Fusion generators always create output steam at the fluid’s default temperature (15 °C). There isn’t a prototype field that sets leftover steam to 110 °C.

The script forces the output to 280 °C so that, after it mixes with the fresh 15 °C steam the machine keeps producing, the pipe settles at about 110 °C. It just happens to land on that unless the pipe is empty - back to 15°

I haven’t seen bugs on my side, but I’m not publishing it as a proper mechanic. If you want to try it, grab the 1.0.4 zip from the link above and see if it works with the other mod.
