	'''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.
