Hello! Thanks for your quick response. I am using version 1.4.0 of your mod on Vintage Story 1.19.7.

The crash happens randomly. unsure what the trigger for the crash may be, from what I can tell removing the control panel stopped the crash from happening but makes the steam engine not useable. I will see if there is a specific source for the crash but at the moment it seems to be random.

Hi!
thx ffor feedback!

Which version of the mod are you using?
And can you describe the steps to repeat the bug?

Hello! Im having a critcal error with this mod any idea what the cause may be?

It looks like a nuclear reactor, comrade)

I don't plan to add high-tech content in the near future, but it may appear.

Hi!
thx ffor feedback!

I like the more immersive experience and therefore the boiler pressure over 1000 Bar looks like a mistake)

1. An automatic coal loader is in the near future plans for development.

2. Maybe, but not in the near future

3. At the moment it is too difficult to implement, perhaps over time new mechanics will appear that will allow this to be implemented)

Is there a possibility that we could use uranium as fuel

Hi, Atztek!

Could you tell me please, are you going to add some kind of automatic boiler heat regulation?
After your last update, boiler cools down after certain period of time, and steam turns back into water, and this it a big problem.

If previously I could have ~1000 bar of pressure in my boiler even when it is turned off and then use it whenever I want, then now I simply can't do this, and have to reignite it and wait until it heats up.
This makes boiler inconvenient and hard to use for small work amounts.

So, I would want to offer few ways how this could be fixed and ask you, are you going to do something like that in future?

1. Add automatic boiler fuel controller. Something for high-end game, when you can freely use Jonas parts. This thing would automatically maintain fuel under boiler and its ignition, and would always try to keep boiler on certain temperature and pressure. If you need more steam for your engines, it ignites more cells under boiler blocks and spends more coal. If not, it just keeps boiler from freezing.
2. Add another boiler type: direct-flow steam generator.
   This kind of steam generators doesn't store a lot of water inside heated part, so water can be heated and turned into steam faster and without need to heat up hundreds of liters, so this makes it quite flexible. This boiler would be more convenient than regular one, but could require steel instead of bronze, so it is not so easy to get.
    
3. At least, maybe add cetain mechanisms for energy saving? Like, gravitational mechanical batteries, or possibility to compress air using mechanical power, store it in high-pressure tanks, and then use in steam engines instead of steam?

 Just use a chiseled block in front to make it look however you like. Leave holes for access.

plz make the controller look like old styl guages rather than a modern day machine..

Can you make an image made with your own mod features as a front image to your mod?

thanx!

this mod is really cool!!

Thanks for the feedback! 
I will fix this in the next release.

When I right-click with empty hand on boiler water hatch, game crashes

Awesome mod! Keep up the great work! :)

Hi!
curently only burning coal pile may heat boiler.

Hi. Is it possible to heat the boiler from the fires that are lit under it?

Dis742

Thanks for the feedback! 

fixed in version 1.1.1

Can not change straight pipe after placing the pipe down so if you pick it up to make a curve,T or value it will not let you !

Thanks for the feedback! 
I will fix this in the next release.

Thanks for the feedback!
Can you attach the error log? I can't repeat the mistake. 
And try updating the mod to a new version.

When deleting working steam engine block, then game crashes

We're using this on a server in conjunction with the electricity mod and a great use case for this would be a low-power mode, just keeping the boiler heated to the minimum operating temperature (with reduced fuel / water cost / power output), with the ability to ramp it up when the wind dies.

Also, in testing we found that

1) the steam engine continues to run when it's out of water

2) it also continues to run when it runs out of fuel

Perpetual motion is great but really just having the expected behavior + some control mechanisms would be nice. Thanks for this!

When I remove steam engine parts, game crashes.

please make the control panel collision smaller

Hi! I am currently working on optimizing the server code, theoretically it should work on version 1.19.x, but there may be problems with CPU leaks.

work wel in 1.19.4 server ?

Maybe I didn't understand the question, you mean is it possible to connect a steam engine to a generator from electricity mod? if the generator is attached to the vanila wooden axel, then yes you can make a steam-powered generator.

Definitely an interesting approach beside electricity mod, is it possible to make steam engine to wind generators?

Looks interesting, but I have to admit after reading where you said "Tired of building windmills and waiting for the wind?" then in the video you had to advance the time 10 minutes to get steam. I busted out laughing. But at least with this, once the boiler is up to temp you control the power and are not at natures mercy.
