{{:Infobox:Steam engine}}<br />
<br />
'''Steam engines''' are the most basic [[Electric system|electricity]] generator, available to the player at the start of the game. They produce electricity by consuming [[steam]], using [[water]] pumped from an [[offshore pump]] that was heated to 165°C steam with [[Boiler|boilers]] or to 500°C steam with [[heat exchanger]]s. Steam that has a higher temperature than the maximum temperature of the steam engine (165°C) is consumed at the normal rate (30 units/s), and does not yield more electricity. This means the energy that was put into the steam to heat it to a higher temperature is wasted.<br />
<br />
Steam engines will automatically adjust their power production and steam usage based on the current demands of the electricity network. Hovering the mouse over a steam engine will display their current power production ('''Performance''') and their possible power production ('''Available Performance'''), in a display on the right.<br />
<br />
Steam engines have two ports, allowing excess steam to flow through. This allows steam engines to be chained together. The current optimal ratio is 1 [[offshore pump]] to 20 [[boiler]]s to 40 steam engines.<br />
<br />
Using steam engines for power does not produce [[pollution]], however using [[Boiler|boilers]] to heat up the water does.<br />
<br />
When producing power, the steam engine will display a working animation:<br />

[[Fuel]] can be inserted into [[burner devices]] and burned to power them. Different types of Fuel provide different amounts of energy, measured in megajoules (MJ). A megajoule (MJ) is equivalent to one megawatt second (MWs), so dividing the megajoule (MJ) value by the power consumption in megawatts (MW) gives the time the fuel will last.<br />

<br />
The '''nuclear reactor''' generates heat by burning [[uranium fuel cell]]s. The heat can be used in a [[heat exchanger]] to produce steam which can be used to generate power.<br />
<br />
Instead of completely consuming the fuel, burning fuel in a nuclear reactor results in [[used up uranium fuel cell]]s. These used up cells can be [[nuclear fuel reprocessing|reprocessed]] in a [[centrifuge]] to get back some of the uranium used to create the fuel cells.<br />
