Turbine structure

Building the shell

• Use Turbine Casing for solid walls and Turbine Glass where you want to see inside.

• Build a closed box. Default maximum size is 65×65×65 (same idea as large reactors; your pack may allow less).

• Inside you need space for rods and blades, a coil section, ports on the walls, and one Turbine Controller on an outer side wall (north, south, east, or west—not the top or bottom of the box).

Rod controller

You need exactly one Turbine Rod Controller on the top layer of the rotor section. It sets which way the shaft runs (you can orient it in six directions, like a heating coil).

• On an odd × odd rod footprint, it sits on the center cell.

• If one side length is even, two center cells work; if both are even, four center cells work. Any of those is fine by hand; the Turbine Builder picks one center for you and highlights it in the preview.

• Rod columns are laid out by your pattern in the volume below the coil section—they do not have to sit directly under this block.

• Rods must line up with the controller’s axis. Wrong-facing rods are fixed when the turbine checks the build, when possible.

• This is not the Turbine Controller on the outside wall—that one opens the main turbine screen.

Turbine rods

• Turbine Rods form the shaft. They follow the rod controller’s direction (up/down or along a wall).

• Right-click floor or ceiling for a vertical shaft; right-click a wall for a horizontal shaft along that wall.

• Attach blades with the blade item—see Rods and blades. Breaking a rod drops all its blades on that spot.

What goes where (overview)

Area	Where	What you put there
Rotor	Main interior, below the coils	Rods, blades
Coils	Top layers inside	Metal storage blocks (gold, copper, …)
Ports	Casing faces	Steam in, RF out, redstone

How many coil layers to use (default 3) is set in the Turbine Builder. For RF and steam numbers see Steam, RF, and coils.
