Pressure and steam are both dependent on the size of the network, and the amount of steam being fed in/out of it. Machines all require a certain amount of steam and pressure in order to operate. The network's pressure also increases with this new steam.
FLAXBEARDS STEAM POWER MOD
The steam in the mod represents a gas, so it expands throughout the network immediately. Likewise, it decreases when devices are removed from the network.
The steam capacity increases each time a new storage device is added to the network, such as a new Steam Tank or Pipe. These can be prevented by using the wimp mode configuration option, or taking proper precautions such as using Steam Whistles, Rupture Discs, Steam Gauges, and redstone contraptions. The steam and pressure capacities can, if exceeded, result in catastrophic system meltdowns– explosions. As such, they will attempt to join an existing steam network through their adjacent blocks, or, if that is impossible, create a new one.Įach Steam Network has a unique identifier, which is never relevant to the user, a set steam capacity, and a set pressure capacity. Most blocks in the mod require a steam network in order to function. In Flaxbeard's Steam Power, a Steam Network, also referred to as the SteamNet, is a combination of pressure, steam amounts, and various functionality relating to the way steam works in the mod. I could use a valve to release some steam, or, if I have thought ahead, attach rupture discs which will fail before my more fragile components, particularly my boilers. I know that if the needle is to the far right and dancing wildly, I am approaching dangerous levels. Using gauges, I can measure the pressure in the system. If I am not diligent, I may create more pressure than the system can handle, resulting in catastrophic failure, destroying components and damaging my surroundings. The materials at my disposal, while quite durable, can only withstand a finite amount of strain.

No proper process of invention or industry is free of risk, however. If the system is too small, I do not have a sufficient buffer of steam to power my machines for long. If the system is too large, the pressure increases too slowly to provide adequate steam to my machines. It is for this reason that I must balance the size of a given steam system with the rate at which steam can be generated. Therefore, as system volume increases, the pressure added by inserting a given amount of steam decreases. Due to its natural tendency to expand as much as possible, steam quickly flows throughout my entire network of pipes, tanks and other machines when introduced. I had to first realize that steam is not a liquid, but a gas.
However, the journey toward the invention of these components forced me to revise the way I thought of steam. Using an assortment of pipes, tanks, and various machines, I can create a system to store, measure and regulate this steam pressure in order to harness its potential energy to useful and profitable ends. Furthermore, when this process takes place in a contained system, the pressure increases. In my investigation into the inner-workings of this world, I have happened upon a wondrous discovery! When heated, water becomes gaseous, producing white plumes of steam. This page is about the Steam Networks in Flaxbeard's Steam Power.
