* Minimal structure is a 5x5 base with 6 blocks high.
* Maximum in the 5x5 base is 8 high due to blades.
* Orientation can only be vertical (Unlike BR's turbine)
* Orientation can only be vertical (Unlike BR's turbine)
* Compatible with oredict steam from other mods such as TE/TF/RC/MFR/Big Reactors
* Length and Width (x,z) must be equal.
* Interior may ONLY be steam dispersers, coils, shaft, blades, rotational complex, or air.
* Maximum shaft height = min(2xLENGTH-5,14) [so blades don't touch sides]
* Larger turbines produce more power with the same amount of steam.
* Maximum total height = min(2xLENGTH-1,18)
* Coils appear to be limited by the number of blade sets. 4:1 ratio recommended. 4 blade sets per coil block.
* Tank volume = LENGTH^2xROTOR_HEIGHTx64,000mB
* Vents limit the max flow of steam through the turbine. The marking of "Limiting" on the vents stat simply means that it is not "optimal ratio". You can have fewer down to your desired steam flow rate.
* Flow rate is determined by tank volume (exact formula inside notes) and vents - whichever is less. Each vent adds 16,000mB/t of flow rate.
* If multiblock does not sparkle red on final block placement, check your assembly
* Energy production = FLOWxROTOR_HEIGHTx50RF/7
* Each vent adds 16,000mB/t of flow rate (The equivalent of 16 buckets every 1/20th of a second)
* Because a taller rotor leaves less room for vents, sometimes heightening the rotor could reduce flow and, therefore, energy.
* Current maximum turbine size as of v9.2 is 11x11x18, 28 turbine blades maximum
* 1 coil will support 4 blades. You'll never need more than 7 coils.
* Interior may ONLY be dispersers, coils, shaft, blades, rotational complex, or air.
* Multiblock will sparkle red on final block placement, otherwise check your assembly.
* Minimal turbine size is 5x5 base with 5 blocks high.
* Maximum turbine size is 17x17 base with 18 blocks high.


==Operation Notes==
==Construction steps==
* Turbine shuts down if internal battery fills with energy. Make sure the power is always being used.
# Build the base out of turbine casings and optional structural glass. (must be square) [the perimeter must be casings not glass]
* New change to the industrial turbine is that it allows you to vent excess steam to prevent it from shutting down (Option not shown).
# Place rotor shafts in the center, from the base to desired height.
# Add turbine blades to the rotor. (two for each rotor shaft)
# Place a rotational complex on top of the rotor.
# Completely fill the interior layer around the rotational complex with pressure dispersers.
# Place electromagnetic coils above the dispersers. They must touch the rotational complex and each other.
# Build the frame (the perimeters of the walls) out of turbine casings. (you may have more empty layers above the coils to make room for more vents)
# Fill the walls, up to the height of the rotor, with turbine casings and/or structural glass and at least 2 turbine valves.
# Fill the remaining walls and ceiling with turbine casings and/or turbine vents.

  • Maximum turbine size is 17x17 base with 18 blocks high.

Construction steps

  2. Place rotor shafts in the center, from the base to desired height.
  3. Add turbine blades to the rotor. (two for each rotor shaft)
  4. Place a rotational complex on top of the rotor.
  5. Completely fill the interior layer around the rotational complex with pressure dispersers.
  6. Place electromagnetic coils above the dispersers. They must touch the rotational complex and each other.
  7. Build the frame (the perimeters of the walls) out of turbine casings. (you may have more empty layers above the coils to make room for more vents)
  8. Fill the walls, up to the height of the rotor, with turbine casings and/or structural glass and at least 2 turbine valves.
  9. Fill the remaining walls and ceiling with turbine casings and/or turbine vents.
