Do we have adaptive consumption of high-pressure steam by turbines? That is, for example, I installed an MK2 turbine that consumes 600 steam per second, but only connected 100 steam per second to it. Will this turbine adapt to a constant consumption of 100 steam per second with a corresponding constant decrease in output power, or will it simply operate at full power for a couple of seconds and then remain idle until a new portion of steam arrives? How do you like this idea? Adaptive adjustment of power to the incoming steam flow. So that it would be possible to install a deliberately more powerful turbine, but its full potential could be realized gradually, connecting new sources of steam power to it.

When I take a portable gasoline generator from the equipment slot, the canister that is currently being used up in it disappears, although logically it should fall into the inventory empty. Or should it?

Can you make the 3 large powerplants available as a standalone mod?
They look and work amazing and i would like to use them in other playthroughs.

No, aspects of pYmods will not be made available as standalone mods.Vulkandrache wrote: Sat Nov 15, 2025 4:51 pm Can you make the 3 large powerplants available as a standalone mod?

Hey, so is it me or is the Coal Power Plant wildly OP? I'm playing Py for the first time in a long time, and my buddies and I just unlocked Coal Power Plant with molten salt. If I'm doing my math right, it consumes something like 10MW worth of coal (or other burnables) and spits out around 100MW of molten salt? Am I missing something?

That math seems correct, energy generation 1 powerplants are indeed powerful.loganb wrote: Thu Jan 15, 2026 12:47 am Hey, so is it me or is the Coal Power Plant wildly OP?
