Can someone explain this? Steam turbine can’t consume steam, because it’s blocked by this.

    Is the ladder acting like a heat sink and it just hasn’t heated up enough yet? How hot is the steam/ladder?

      Steam has 109°C, same as ladder and conveyor rail

        I see there is a solid in the bottom left fluid block. That might also be acting like a heat sink too. Whats the mass/temperature/material of that solid? Also the big coal chunks? I’m guessing they’re still in the process of getting heated up.

        Also, I think the minimum temperature for steam turbine inputs is 125? I think for maximum efficiency you also need at least 200C w/ all 5 vents open.

        My point is that you probably want your system quite a bit hotter anyways.

          Alright, after some cycles water started to slowly heat up. I guess I’ll just wait. Anyway, thanks!
