Better to equip Atmo Suits before entering Steam atmosphere or working with risky water-cooled equipment. Steam is an environmental danger and quickly scalds the Duplicants.Steam can be an alternative for Hydrogen as heat transfer agent in environments above 100 ☌ since it has better conductivity and heat capacity.For this reason, the Steam generated by Cool Steam Vent can not be used without additional heating. Steam Turbine can generate Power from Steam hotter than 125☌.Steam of any temperature is used in Sauna for recreational purposes.

Steam of any temperature is used as fuel of Steam Engine for space missions.Steam naturally cools down to Water, one of the important Resources in the game.However, Polluted Water produces Dirt when evaporated and Salt Water and brine produce Salt when evaporated.Steam can be created by boiling Water, Salt Water, Brine or Polluted Water in hot environment such as Volcanic Biome and Space Biome.Steam Vent erupts with the large amounts of superheated steam, and is harder to deal with, but can be used directly to power Steam Turbine.At least two uncovered Cool Steam Vents are guaranteed to spawn on each map. Cool Steam Vents slowly pours lukewarm steam at various rates.Steam naturally comes out of the two types of Geysers, as either 110 ☌ or 500 ☌.Steam is denser than Oxygen or Natural Gas, but lighter than Sour Gas and Chlorine. It can be created by heating Water to 102.35 ☌ (vaporization point + 3 ☌) or Polluted Water to 122.35 ☌ (vaporization point + 3 ☌).
