This block serves to supply steam together with boiler tanks when a user has charge but no steam.

The texture is already in the repository.

Beware the Xtreme Reactors multiblock steam turbine ;)

Will let camo work on this.

Only one comment, be wary of possible infinite power loops.

camo is in charge of the numbers, i believe.

Well, IRL making steam from electricity would be 100% efficient in a perfectly heat-sealed system, however generating electricity from steam only has about 50 efficiency at the most, depending on the setup and whether superheated steam is used.

So needing about twice the electricity per steam, than what you would generate per steam, makes sense.
