Factorio steam turbine

In other languages:. The steam turbine consumes steam to create electric energy. It is usually used together with heat exchangers and a nuclear reactor. However, actual power production is based on the temperature of the steam, not the building itself. This means that using a steam turbine is no more fuel-efficient than using two steam engines. Unless saving space within a large build, it is not necessary to use the more costly turbines for boiler steam. From Official Factorio Wiki. Recipe 3. Production items.

In other languages:. Electricity has to be produced before it can be transferred to consumers over the electric system. There are multiple methods to produce electricity:. Each steam engine needs 0. One offshore pump can supply 20 boilers and 40 steam engines. The above ratio can be calculated from information available in-game: One boiler consumes 1. One steam engine consumes kW of energy stored in steam, so each boiler can supply 2 steam engines: 1. This produces the ratio. The optimal ratio is 0. This means that you need 1.

If you have unlocked nuclear power and therefore the steam turbine, would your boilers work better being connected to turbines or engines at that point or is it a wash?

It's way too easy to end up in a brownout despite everything telling you that you could still use way more, even worse than with solar power. It is a great way to make your coal boiler steam engine setup smaller.

Smoke View Profile View Posts. In terms of power produced, 1 boiler can supply 1 turbine or 2 steam engines at most, and the electricity generated is equal - as is the chemical fuel and water consumed in the process. When used with boilers, they just take twice as much steam as turbines so a full boiler worth instead of half and produce twice as much power so 1. Factorio Store Page. Change language.

In other languages:. Steam engines are the most basic electricity generator, available to the player at the start of the game.

Alternatively, you can generate Kw of electricity from degree steam with a simple steam engine by using very low amounts of steam. However, actual power production is based on the temperature of the steam, not the building itself. When used with boilers, they just take twice as much steam as turbines so a full boiler worth instead of half and produce twice as much power so 1. Re: Steam engine vs Steam Turbine Post by Nasabot » Sun May 28, am Looking into the game file, it does not matter wheter you use engines or turbines for normal boilers. Rocket silo Satellite. Stone furnace Steel furnace Electric furnace. So yes, Turbines can work with boiler steam, but they will never reach their maximum potential with it. Last edited by Smoke ; 26 Oct, pm. If you do that you should set it up so that it is separate from the main power grid and only powers miners. Skip to content. Post by Kelderek » Thu May 25, pm. Factorio Forums www.
