Boil Water

[Magoobleheimer]

How big is the water container?
I'm about to hit 96,000 revolutions and have yet to get the boil 1L achievement
10L seems extreme

[DCI Murdoc]

I only just got the 1L achievement at around 230,000 revolutions.
Yeah, gonna take dozens of hours

I may be wrong but in my head I'm thinking higher temp boils the water faster?

I think the less water you have in the boiler, the hotter it gets, the faster it turns into steam. But you'd have to baby sit your boiler all the time to keep the water just low enough.

Which I made a guide

There are gauges and/or info on just about everything else, except for the amount of water that is in the container.

This is strange to me.

I have 9.5L at 31.4 hours.

New update, more gauges and indicators... still no gauge or level on the water container!!

Check out my latest guide, containing the newest update:

My new personal record so far is a permanent 3782.2 RPMs with these instructions.

At this rate, you can boil approximately 0.2 L of water every 30 minutes.

I am at 9.8L of boiled water with 29h of playtime.
My PC runs throught this weekend.
In the next minutes i have the last achievement!
Edit: All achievement with 29,4h of playtime.

I dunno if it s the faster way to boil water; but if you first boil all the water and wait for the temperature gauge to max out, then set throttle to 1% , then open the water inlet, and then slowly raise the throttle to about 49%, if you will be boiling water as fast as it comes in. Oh, and don t forget to disable the safety valve.

If you raise the throttle too fast or go past 49% seems you likely eventually cross a threshold and the water coming in will cool the boiler faster than it can stay above the boiling point and you ll have to start over. You might also need ot be careful with how fast ou open the inlet I think.

edit:Oh, the guide above seems to be able to reach a higher throttle, so maybe my approach is not the best, will have to test

Check this link out for a little more in depth to how water and pressure works. https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/water-vapor-saturation-pressure-d_599.html
Also look up a triple point graph for water. It explains the relation ship between when water becomes changes state from liquid gas or solid depending on what pressure or temp it is at. So in a radiator like your car. the radiator cap is usual rated around 15 psi. this will keep the coolant from turning into a gas at a higher temp. but if your over the boiling point of water at o psi and then you remove the rad cap. all of the water tries to become steam at once and is all most an explosion. 1 litre of liquid water is about 1600 L of steam. 1000 litres of water is 1 cubic meter. so if your radiator holds say 10L that's 16 cubic meters of steam trying to come out of a 1.5" hole. steam is amazing.
