Turbine Controller
Right-click the controller when the turbine is built correctly to open the main screen.
New to multiblocks? Start with Getting started.
Operation
-
Start and stop the turbine and watch RF output, steam use, and efficiency on screen.
-
The turbine is checked again from time to time while it runs; if something breaks, it stops and tells you why (action bar and GUI message).
-
Normally you may only have one turbine controller per multiblock.
-
Place it on a side wall of the shell (north, south, east, or west in the world—not the top or bottom). That is separate from which way the rod shaft runs inside.
Fluids and power
-
Steam is piped in through Turbine Resource Ports.
-
RF leaves through Turbine Power Ports.
-
Spent steam often becomes water (or another fluid your pack defines)—see Steam, RF, and coils.
Stopping without breaking blocks
A Turbine Redstone Port can shut the turbine down from outside redstone while leaving the structure intact—same role as a Reactor Redstone Port.
What you see on the controller depends on your blade layout and coil blocks; adjust those inside the turbine, not only on this screen.
