The Boiler uses water and a fuel to create steam. This steam is then used in a [[Steam Turbine]] to produce power.


The usable fuel types are:

==Fuel Use==
Each [[Steam Turbine]] requires 360 Litres per second (L/s) of steam to operate at its maximum output power of 3.6MW. A Boiler is capable of supplying 360L/s of steam, so for every [[Steam Turbine]], you only need one Boiler.
The Boiler requires 3.6MJ/s to achieve this and the below table outlines the different fuels and their burn rates to maintain 360L/s of steam.

Fuel Use

Each Steam Turbine requires 360 Litres per second (L/s) of steam to operate at its maximum output power of 3.6MW. A Boiler is capable of supplying 360L/s of steam, so for every Steam Turbine, you only need one Boiler.

The Boiler requires 3.6MJ/s to achieve this and the below table outlines the different fuels and their burn rates to maintain 360L/s of steam.

Fuel Burn Time Items Per Minute
Biomass (5MJ) 1.39s 43.2
Ignium Ore Rubble (10MJ) 2.78s 21.6
Portable Fuel (15MJ) 4.17s 14.4
Ignium Fuel Rod (100MJ) 27.78s 2.16
Coked Ignium (4MJ) 1.11s 54
