SteamGenerator

# SteamGenerator

Turn wasted steam into usable electricity.

SteamGenerator automatically converts the steam produced by Water Purifiers into electrical energy by attaching a hidden Small Rechargeable Battery to every purifier. Every purification cycle generates power, allowing you to harvest electricity from an otherwise wasted resource.

Perfect for powering small circuits, lighting, sensors, and backup systems without requiring generators or solar panels.

Features

• ⚡ Generates electricity from Water Purifier steam.

• 🔋 Automatically attaches a hidden Small Rechargeable Battery.

• 💧 Charges the battery every purification cycle.

• 🔌 No wiring required to generate power.

• 🛠 Works with existing and newly placed Water Purifiers.

• ♻ Automatically cleans up batteries when purifiers are removed.

• 🚫 Prevents players from connecting wires directly to the internal battery.

• 🚀 Automatically scans and converts existing Water Purifiers after server startup.

How It Works

1. Place a Water Purifier.
2. The plugin automatically creates and attaches a hidden Small Rechargeable Battery.
3. Every time the purifier produces steam, the battery receives additional charge.
4. Power can then be used like any normal battery output.

No player interaction is required.

Automatic Management

SteamGenerator keeps itself synchronized with the world by automatically:

• Detecting newly placed Water Purifiers.

• Restoring existing generators after server restart.

• Removing internal batteries when purifiers are destroyed.

• Preventing duplicate batteries from being created.

• Blocking direct wiring into the internal battery to avoid exploits.

Admin Command

/killsg

Removes every Steam Generator battery from the server.

Useful after uninstalling the plugin or for maintenance.

Configuration

The plugin currently contains a single configurable value inside the source:

PowerPerSteamTick = 50;

This controls how much charge is added to the battery every Water Purifier cooking tick.

Why Use SteamGenerator?

Water Purifiers normally waste the steam they produce.

SteamGenerator transforms that wasted energy into a practical source of electricity, allowing every purifier to become a compact renewable power generator with zero extra effort from players.

Whether you're building an automated industrial complex or simply need reliable backup power, SteamGenerator provides an immersive and lore-friendly way to expand Rust's electrical system.
