Research Data
The Steam Turbine is a Tier 5 energy building unlocked for 3,000 Gold. It provides automated power generation by consuming Steam and producing Depleted Steam as the exhaust gas.
The official Research page is marked work in progress. These facts reflect the captured August 20, 2026 version and may change with game updates.
Steam Turbine: Confirmed Function
The Research tree confirms automated power generation. The official Depleted Steam page supplies the missing material relationship: processing Steam in a Steam Turbine generates Depleted Steam, which rises and can be condensed back into Water.
Setup and Production Role
Feed Steam into the turbine and plan an overhead route or chamber for the rising Depleted Steam. Place a Condenser where that gas can enter it to recover Water, forming a documented recovery path rather than venting the gas to the Sky.
Limits and Verification
The sources do not publish Steam consumption, Energy output, efficiency, startup time, capacity, dimensions or whether output needs a Connector. They verify the Steam-to-Depleted-Steam flow and Water recovery, not a self-sustaining or lossless power loop.
