How do I generate power with a Steam Turbine?
Follow the Water-to-Steam-to-Turbine route and the connection to a Power Brick.

Sandustry Steam Power Planner: Measure Turbine Output
Planning a Steam Turbine setup in Sandustry? Measure the energy before and after a test, enter the elapsed time and compare the measured output with your factory's demand. The planner helps you estimate turbine requirements using results from your own setup.
Steam goal
Measure power
Plan turbines
Generate energy with a Steam Turbine
Water→Flamethrower→Steam→Steam Turbine→Power Brick
- Make Steam from Water.
- Place the turbine in the Steam path.
- Connect the turbine to a Power Brick.
- Check the energy stored after Steam passes through.
Measured energy
100.00Net energy / minute
100.00Change during test
Turbine estimate
Measure a positive output from one turbine first.
Measure a turbine before scaling up
Record the energy stored before and after Steam passes through a turbine. Enter the elapsed seconds to calculate the net energy change over your test interval.
Estimate the number of turbines
Enter factory demand, measured output from one turbine and the Steam used by one turbine. Use the result to estimate how many turbines your measured setup may require.
Frequently asked questions
How many Steam Turbines do I need?
Measure one turbine first, then enter its output and your factory demand.
Does this use a fixed turbine output?
No. The planner asks for measured output from your own setup.
