Acid neutralisation converts sulfuric acid and calcite into steam. This recipe can only be used on Vulcanus, and it is the native means of producing water (via steam condensation). The steam is created at a temperature of 500 °C, perfect for steam turbines, making it a very space-efficient source of power.
Because acid neutralization produces so much steam in one production cycle, a combination of modules, quality, and beacons makes it possible to reach the limits of the fluid system. Specifically, each separate input into a fluid segment (one set of connected pipes and tanks) is limited to move 6000 fluid per second. If only one of the steam connections of the production building is used, then gaining an effective crafting speed of 3 or greater will cause the building to be unable to produce steam at its maximum theoretical potential. Using two fluid outputs allows the machine to reach crafting speed 6 before encountering a this limitation. Using all three fluid outputs of the cyrogenic plant allows an effective crafting speed of 9.
