"Burns fuel for electricity."

The Steam Generator is a crafting surface that is used to generate electricity for other crafting surfaces to use.

Where Found

A steam generator is created at a workbench (of level 3) for 1 steel block, 1 steam engine and 1 electric motor.

Use

There is no crafting possible with just a steam generator. Instead, it efficiently converts fuel into electricity. Tapping on a steam generator will bring up a menu with options to remove it or access it.

Accessing a steam generator will display a refueling menu.

When connected electrically to a crafting surface that requires electricity and is in use, a steam generator will begin burning fuel and supplying electricity until either the demand ends or its fuel runs out. As a flywheel that isn't at capacity will always draw power, it may drain a connected steam generator.
