Turbine issues · Issue #7076 · mekanism/Mekanism
March 27, 2021 - My turbine is set up properly and while it accepts steam it doesn’t produce any power and wont spin. I have the water output to a fission reactor and a steam input from the reactor and a boiler. It just fills with steam while doing nothing.

r/feedthebeast on Reddit: [FTB:IE] Turbine Not Spinning
February 18, 2019 -

Hello, I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, but I honestly don't know where else to ask.

My turbine for my reactor does not take in steam, and does not spin. It started spinning once, but only got to 25 RPM before it stopped completely. I followed a tutorial on YouTube to get the idea on how to build it, but it does not work for some reason.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

December 3, 2022 - View in app ... your turbine is full, i don't know if that matters but try putting an energy trash can with a flux point (priority -1) ... Over-full energy tank was the issue. Thanks! ... Dumb all. Decrease the injection rate of the reactor. ... ...

r/Mekanism on Reddit: Turbines not spinning even with steam input (Dumping Excess on/off, nothing changes)
April 28, 2025 -

I'm running Mekanism 10.4 on Minecraft 1.20.1.

I have a fission reactor safely burning at 12 mB/t. I'm producing about 240,000 mB/t of steam.

I have two Industrial Turbines set up. They both receive steam correctly through Ultimate Pressurized Tubes.

Both turbines are set to "Dumping Excess," but neither of them spin at all.
Even if I disconnect one turbine and leave only the other connected (so it's receiving all the steam), it still just fills the internal steam tank but the rotor doesn't move.

Flow rate shows 0 mB/t, production is 0 FE, even though Steam Input shows ~240,000 mB/t entering.

Cooling setup:

  • I have 3 Creative Fluid Tanks each individually connected to different reactor coolant inputs.

  • I also have 4 more Creative Fluid Tanks connected together, plus about 20 electric pumps, all feeding into another separate coolant input.

  • That’s a total of 4 separate coolant inputs into the reactor.

Despite all of that, if I set the reactor above 12 mB/t burn rate, it still burns through all the water and starts overheating.

Also, when I connect both turbines at the same time, steam stops flowing to the big turbine almost completely and instead rushes into the small turbine first.
It’s like the small turbine is taking priority and stealing all the steam.

Any idea what could be wrong? Why isn't anything spinning even with dumping excess enabled and tons of steam being produced?

December 30, 2020 - Apparently, industrial turbines are no longer dumping excess steam. The only option that works is dump, as dumping excess does nothing. ...

r/allthemods on Reddit: My mekanism Turbine is not working and I cant figure out why
June 2, 2021 - From what I know, the turbine Blades should never touch the glass while spinning. The Top Layer looks like it could not spin freely. I dont know if thats actually the case, but It would be worth a try. My friend made another mekanism graph, this time for ore processing

r/Mekanism on Reddit: Why isnt my turbine forming?
February 18, 2024 - So (personally) I recommend a 5x5 square of coils in the middle, then saturating condensers around it. Instead of saturating condensers, you put turbine vents. That's why it's not forming

r/feedthebeast on Reddit: Mekanism Steam Turbine doesn't seem to be working. Help?
January 3, 2018 - Steam in bottom, water out top for mek turbine (though you do not have to pump it out at all) Second it seems like you might not have vents across the turbine top, or you didn't leave area above the vents to allow it to become water again.

Bug - Big Reactors: Turbine not starting. | Feed The Beast
January 1, 2017 - There were a couple problems. 1) I hadn't configured the tesseracts properly. My bad. That is now sorted. 2) I am now using an AE2/EC2 setup for main water supply to the reactor. - the pump/fluiduct setup was limited to 120mB/t steam throughput and that wasn't enough to start the turbine.

October 24, 2024 - It looks like you are using some kind of invisible light, if it's from something like a feral flare lantern then it's gonna stop the build from working, even if it's in the steam compartment.

Industrial Turbine not forming · Issue #7115 · mekanism/Mekanism
April 16, 2021 - I'm trying to build an industrial turbine but it's not forming. Photos below. I've built multiple different versions following YouTube tutorials, the FTB wiki, nothing is working. There have been no crashes associated with it, it's just not forming. Thanks for any help. https://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/mruba2/mekanism_turbine_not_forming_any_help_would_be/ Here is the Reddit post so attempted fixes can be seen.

r/feedthebeast on Reddit: Mekanism Turbine Reactor not outputting water into Fission Reactor
January 3, 2023 - Vents output automatically and mekanism pipes work with throughput of (total capacity of pipe mb/t) which is like 10x higher than pipe can push/pull by itself) Edit: 10x more with a single pipe block I mean, if you add more pipes in line you can multiply that by number of blocks ... I would also like to mention the rotors aren’t spinning at all in the industrial turbine, but I have max power as shown.
