Boiler (Electric)

Produces high pressure steam by boiling water. Basically a giant kettle. But not recommended for tea preparation.

Construction	60 + 40
Workers	5
Electricity	1.1 MW
Maintenance	2.0 / 60
Footprint	5x4
Required Research	Electric Boiler
Designation	Water Extraction & Processing
Variants	Boiler (Coal) Boiler (Gas)

The Boiler (Electric) is a machine which creates Steam from Water using a large amount of Electricity. This machine is locked behind the Nuclear Reactor research and typically only useful when used when ample nuclear power is available. It is not useful for power generation with steam equipment as it obeys the laws of thermodynamics and generates less power via Steam (High) than it consumes.
