Steam: water phase change, heat pressure, and power context

steam is a standalone material entry in the AwayTeam knowledge structure. Its role is 水受热后的气态形态，连接温控、压力和后期热能利用. The useful part of the page is not merely naming the object, but explaining where it belongs in base planning, what can go wrong, and which systems it touches.

Basic role

Read steam through the correct system. Materials belong to construction, refining, thermal control, gas flow, or liquid loops. Equipment belongs to exploration, protection, lighting, or tool uptime.

Use cases

Use steam once the base has enough order to support it. Early use can solve immediate problems, but mid-game planning should define sourcing, storage, hauling, and substitutes. Late-game planning should connect it to automation and accident isolation.

Planning advice

Separate storage and clear labels make the entry easier to manage. Materials should be grouped by state, metal value, heat behavior, and pipeline impact. Equipment should be grouped by body slot, exploration purpose, and required supply.

Common risk

蒸汽进入生活区会带来烫伤、压力和水循环中断. This kind of failure usually comes from missing support systems: insulation, filtration, charging, fallback paths, or shipping.

Related systems

Read steam together with temperature, power, pipes, refining, exploration routes, tool priorities, oxygen supply, and emergency exits. Context turns an isolated name into an actionable planning unit.
