Please note that all ratios are approximate.Ī red steam engine pumps faster than any other engine in any state.

The table below shows various speeds as compared to a blue steam engine and a blue combustion engine. Steam engines, like Redstone and Combustion Engines, pump faster as they get hotter. There also seems to be a rare bug in SMP, that when removing any amount of coal from a steam engine, it doesn't come out. It is debatable whether or not water surrounding it slows down heat building up. Using this on a Pump will pump out liquids much more efficiently than the redstone engine can. Like a Redstone Engine, the hotter it gets, the more it will pump. If used to take items from an Energy Condenser, however, it will only pump a single item at a time. It also pumps out 16 items per pump if used to take out items from a chest (Note: It sometimes pulls 52 per pump). Steam Engines can be used to run a Quarry, but it's recommended to use 3 or more to run it.

One diamond's worth of EMC (8,192) in Equivalent Exchange will make 20 steam engines with 352 EMC left over. One Steam Engine costs about 392 EMC in materials. Blue means it's cool, Green means it's warm, Green - Orange toggle means it's beginning to get hot, Orange means that it is hot, and when its an orange -red toggle then it means it's near or in danger of imminent explosion, but its also where the engine runs most effectively (see "using EU as fuel" below) The temperature is represented by the color of the central pylon. You can leave one running, for example, and it will never explode unless it is receiving power. Steam Engines will never explode unless the engine itself receives too much power. You can supply this with Redstone or with Red Alloy Wire from RedPower - it may be more effective. Note that they still require a Redstone signal to run, as do Combustion Engines. They can use Vanilla Minecraft fuels to operate or EU with an Energy Link. BuildCraft Steam Engines are the second tier of engines in BuildCraft, above Redstone Engines and below Combustion Engines.
