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:
- Biomass (5MJ)
- Ignium Ore Rubble (10MJ)
- Portable Fuel (15MJ)
- Ignium Fuel Rod (100MJ)
- Coked Ignium (4MJ)

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 |
