Changes in the turbine building!

 New Steam Turbine

Patch notes: V 1.2.19.153

Until the previous version, the steam turbines were connected behind the generator, and the core power increased the total torque. Now, a change has been made to the steam turbine model and its operation.

The new turbines stand alone and are directly connected to a generator. Now you can control each steam turbine/generator pair individually. Therefore, the entire plant now consists of 3 steam turbines and 3 generators.

This allows maintenance to be performed on a turbine/generator without the need to stop energy production. A new floor was also added to the main building, with elevator access. And a staircase in the corner of the turbine building that allows you to go up to the top floor, where the steam turbines and generators are now housed.

How are the generators synchronized with the electrical grid?

The process is similar to before, but now there are 3 synchroscopes in the control room. Before connecting the generator to the electrical grid, you must synchronize them individually.

And what will happen with previously saved progress?

While they are compatible, when loading a saved progress, depending on your plant's configuration, the generators may not be correctly synchronized or stable. The recommendation is to perform an emergency stop immediately after loading the saved progress.

Does the plant produce three times more energy than before?

No, only the turbines were upgraded and separated into loops, but the core power was not upgraded. That upgrade will come in the next update.
