Minefactory Reloaded Steam Turbine

[Millan]

Is there any way in the B-Team modpack to use the steam turbine? I can't find a way to produce steam to pump into it.

Im pretty sure you need either factorization or railcraft installed to produce steam.

Either of which be a great addition to the modpack!!!

Factorization I could see, but railcraft doesn't really fit the 'theme' of the mod, evil mad scientist, very well. Sure it's steampunky and the lamps are totally appropos, but it interferes with SO much stuff.

You don't feed it steam. You feed it water. I have found that 4 Aqueous accumulators keep it full while operating. Still learning what I can do with it max load wise. Hope that helped!

 you only need 2 aqueous accumulators to power 1 steam turbine

This is an old thread, soon you'll need steam, and in some situations you'll indeed need 4 - most of the time 2 is fine but on occasion especially if you travel away a lot you'll find it runs out with only 2 per turbine, it's probably a rounding error.  2 per machine and an additional 2 to offset that seems to work fine going through pipes, but I found just 2 each wasn't quite enough to avoid whatever that running out of water thing was.  It's possible that this was just a bug that's been fixed in the last month+ though.

So, as soon as the water approach does not work anymore and you actually need steam, those turbines are useless.
This is what I get from the thread so far....

That is indeed correct. You will need to rely on any of the dynamos, solar panels, or other means to generate power. Steam Dynamos are a great alternative for power however as using it with a tree farm can create an infinite power system but the output will be low to begin with until it is expanded upon.

a reactant dynamo setup with a large slime autospawner grinding into the smaller slimes would be a great alternative as well. Along with a blaze autospawner, and you will be rolling in both mob essence and power, not to mention a lifetime supply of slimeballs and blaze powder/blaze rods. go the idea from a guy named JSIT on youtube.

[Kalbintion]

I believe generikb actually used JSIT's set-up with a slight modification in his latest "I GOT THE POWAH" video.

Anybody know why steam turbine not working

[Loader]

It's kinda hinted at by what's said in here and this topics age, but bonus points for searching at least

 

The steam turbine now takes steam, and there's no source of steam in B-Team at present (1.0.10b at the time of this post).  It won't work with just water.  The steam dynamo performs essentially the same task only it generates and uses its steam internally rather than needing it to be fed in like the turbine does.

It doesn't work. Simple as that. Maybe in the future, MFR developers will underp this derp and make a machine that turns water into steam. Until then, have fun with your 500 useless turbines.
