H2 Combustor vs furnace liquid output
So, H2 combustor is supposed to put out excess heat and produce water - through burning H2 and oxyget/oxite.
Furnace does combust H2 and oxite/oxygen, has liquid output, but does not produce water?

So... what the hell?( unless furnace has to cool down below 100C?)

As previously replied, a Combuster "CONVERTS" two specific gasses into water.

A Furnace "Melts" any number of items.

Yes, both get warm but are designed to do very different things. Just because you can put oxygen and volatiles into the furnace does not mean it also has the necessary routing, condensing, and gas flow limiters required to make water.

Well, does not matter - Steam It Is ? Condensation/Limiters are secondary here - H2+O2 combustion == H20. Furnace might not have specific hardware to produce water, but steam is whole different thing. Steam could still condense if furnace went below 100C.

So in other words, having H2 Combustor, which would automatically cool down vapor into water vs furnace that needs to be cooled down does not invalidate each other. Rather compliment?

At some point most games are going to depart from textbooks and reality. You've found one of the ways this one does: no, it is not a chemistry-class substitute. The devs seem to behave as if they think trying to replicate chemistry exercises would make it less of a fun game to play, sort of like how fighting games don't really follow what physics class teaches about inertia.
