Steam Turbine Upgrades


Adds two bigger steam turbines (MK2 and MK3). Same steam consumption per MW as the vanilla turbine, so upgrade savings are purely about space. Power output is configurable in mod settings.

Version: 1.0.1
Date: 01. 11. 2026
  Changes:
    - MK3 default output 180 MW (setting ceiling raised to 300 MW).
    - MK3 steam buffer increased to 6000.
Version: 1.0.0
Date: 01. 11. 2026
  Features:
    - Added MK2 steam turbine: 60 MW by default, 5x7 tiles (200 kg per unit - a full stack fits into one rocket).
    - Added MK3 steam turbine: 140 MW by default, 7x10 tiles (1 ton per unit - one unit per rocket).
    - Both turbines consume steam in proportion to their power output (~10.3 steam/s per MW), like a row of vanilla turbines; steam hotter than 500°C gives no bonus.
    - Power output of both turbines is configurable in mod settings (MK2: 10-100 MW, MK3: 16-250 MW; steam consumption scales with it).
    - MK2 technology requires heating tower with Space Age, nuclear power otherwise. MK3 requires MK2.
    - Separated recipe ingredient sets for Space Age (with tungsten plates) and vanilla chains; the MK3 recipe costs exactly 3x the MK2 recipe.
