Okay so basically, I own a nuclear reactor from mekanism for polonium, but I don't really want to build a turbine, since I don't really need the‍ power. I just want to make the Mekanism armor basically. Is there a way that I can turn steam back into water so I can use it to cool my reactor down, or just store it? Right now I am voiding it with chemical tanks but it isn't fast enough. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Can railcraft steam function as Mekanism water vapor? Realistically, water vapor may be Reagent grade, given it's uses and steam may be power plant grade, but they are basically the same substance.

The way my base seems to be evolving, I may end up with a boiler next to my renewable acid works. I think it would be neat to be able to use them interchangeably. Also a boiler seems like a more sensible way to get steam than a "Rotary Condensentrator"

Question first: Is it currently possible to output water from the Mekanism Industrial Turbine?

Answer (thanks to u/rreeggkk): Connect the pipe to a Turbine Vent.

I'm playing with Mekanism v9.1.0.281 for Minecraft version 1.7.10. According to aidencbrady.com, this is the latest version for Mekanism on 1.7.10.

I'm under the impression that you can export water from the Turbine after steam has been processed in it. I was lead to believe this by the "Saturating Condenser" block, whose tool-tip states "A block that condenses steam by an Industrial Turbine into water. These can be placed in any arrangement above your rotational complex."

I've placed multiple Saturating Condensers above the rotational complex. The multi-block forms properly. The statistics tab of the Turbine GUI lists a positive number for max water output. When I try to extract water from the Turbine from any face or height, I'm not able to. I have tried connecting fluid export pipes from numerous mods to the Turbine Valve, but can't get water to export. Is this feature not yet implemented? Or am I possibly doing something wrong? For what it's worth, the GUI doesn't show an internal storage tank for water.

EDIT: Something I forgot to mention, is that I haven't been able to get the multi-block to form with any Saturating Condenser blocks on the exterior of the structure. So far, I've only been able to get it to form with the Saturating Condenser blocks on the interior of the structure, above the rotational complex. This means they are outside the reach of pipes. I've tried poking around to see if I can get the multi-block to form with any of them on the exterior, and I have failed to do so. I can't try connecting pipes to these blocks directly rather than a Turbine Valve. It just isn't possible.

All of the guides I can find based on water cooling suggest the steam be made into coolant water for the fission reactor. This seems to cause the problem of the turbines needing to work for reactor integrity. Is it possible to just use water from other sources? (modpack with good options for tons of water)

Pretty much what the title says. I tried putting it into the ae2 fluid storage and seems like both of the 'steam' that is produced is 2 different things. I understand that it's easy to make steam from modern industrialisation and everything but was just wondering if there's any conversion methods available.

As of now I have around 50 pumps getting full energy and pushing maximum water through elite pipes, and it's still not enough water to keep the minimum sized Fission Reactor from going kaboom. I don't have cooking for blockheads installed, so the sink method isn't an option.

Normal setup for a mekanism steam turbine is always a closed setup where the steam is supplied in to the turbine and the water from the turbine is supplied back in to your reactor or boiler. But you can run in to several problems like water being insufficient or your pipes not being able to supply water fast enough.

FIX: majority of the biggest modpacks like enigmatica have actual additions and cooking for block heads. With the help of instant transfer capability of fluid laser relays. Plus sink from the cooking for block heads mod helps you fill up max sized boiler in miliseconds and always keep it full. Also steam is transffered as liquid so you can also insta transfer steam into your turbines again by using fluid laser relays.

Just by usıng a sink a and couple of fluid laser relays. You can have a much compact system. Also with this method you're boiler or reactor will always produce max amount of steam possible.

I've been experimenting with Fusion Reactors and Industrial Turbines on a creative world before building one in my survival save, but I can't figure out how to supply the reactor with enough water to reach the 3.6M mB/t steam production it's capable of at an injection rate of 98. I'm currently pumping water using 4 Liquid Transfer Nodes with three stacks of World Interaction Upgrades and three stacks of Speed Upgrades each and it's nowhere near enough.

How the hell do I produce the massive amount of water required by these things? I'm playing Resonant Rise Mainline with all the optional mods enabled.

Also, another question: How do I transfer the 3.6 million mB/t of steam from the reactor to the turbines? I've tried using Thermal Dynamics' Super-Laminar Fluiducts that are supposed to transfer an infinite amount of liquid per tick (according to the description) but I can't get the turbines to use more than 600 mB/t. Problem solved, I was using a servo on the pipe itself instead of setting the reactor port to output, and the servo could only transfer 1200 mB/t. Still need help with the water supply though.

EDIT: Problem solved using Pressure Pipes! Thanks for the help!

I am playing Enigmatica 6 and I am going to make a fusion reactor. Should I water-cool the reactor to get steam or should I connect the reactor to a thermoelectric boiler to make steam with?
