How to build

  1. High Pressure Steam Forge Hammer (bronze hammer + steel plate + tin alloy pipes + wrought iron plates). It runs the 16 EU/t hammer recipes on steam at 2 mB per EU: 32 mB/t while working, 0.5 s per block. — gtceu:hp_steam_forge_hammer
  2. High Pressure Solid Boilers make 300 mB of steam per second (15 mB/t) when hot. Two keep one hammer running nonstop; feed them charcoal and water. — gtceu:hp_steam_solid_boiler, minecraft:charcoal
  3. A Stone Barrel auto-outputs cobble into the hammer (80 per minute; the hammer can do 120). Vent side clear: steam machines stop if their exhaust is blocked. — gtceu:stone_barrel
  4. Versus crushing wheels: no windmill or SU at all, one block instead of two wheels, and it also makes sand and dust. — create:crushing_wheel

Tips

  • Steam machines run any recipe up to LV: the same cobble → gravel → sand → dust and blackstone → crushed blackstone as the LV hammer.
  • High pressure: 0.5 s per block. Low pressure: 1 s. Both cost 320 mB of steam per block.
