Steam
Steam is recorded by the official wiki as Gas with density 0. Heating Water or Snow with Fire creates Steam, a current-density-25 gas that rises and spreads below ceilings.
Confirmed Acquisition
The confirmed sources for Steam are Heating Water or Snow. This establishes the acquisition route, but it does not establish an unstated ratio, cycle time, per-second yield or automated layout.
Production-Chain Role
Steam has Heating Water or Snow upstream, Reaching the sky as processing, and Water downstream. These links define the documented chain, not an unstated quantity or optimal layout.
Entity-Specific Behavior
Heating Water or Snow with Fire creates Steam, a current-density-25 gas that rises and spreads below ceilings. At sky altitude it condenses into rain; Steam Dryer and Steam Turbine use it in production and energy chains.
Evidence Limits
The infobox names Condenser and Sky as processors, while other official pages also use Steam Dryer and Turbine. Heat ratio, rise speed, condensation altitude, dryer use and turbine ratio are not quantified.
