I know that the chance of this getting added is small but why not give it a shot. So this is what I had in mind. For the boiler section in the jbeam there would be these variables. boilersize: how much water the boiler can hold. maxwaterlevel: how high the water can get before overflowing/damage the boiler. minwaterlevel: the minimum height of water before the boiler is damaged. blowoffPSI: how much PSI in the boiler till the safety valve blows off its steam, this also includes a 2nd number that tells to what psi it should blowoff. superheated: true or false, if the steam is getting superheated. boilerefficiency: how efficient the boiler can produce steam, this also affects the time it takes to get to full steam. Next up the burner. burnerefficiency: how much fuel the burner uses. maxburnerheat: the maximum temperature the burner can reach. Then the steam engine. This will be kind of the same as an electric engine, instant torque etc. steamengineefficiency: how much steam is lost in the engine this will be disabled if a condenser is detected. Next thing is the condenser, the condenser takes the exhaust steam and turns it back into water. condenserefficiency: how much steam is lost in the condenser. I probably forgot some variables. Also all these things like regulating the fire and pumping water/ regulating boiler pressure don't necessarily have to be user controlled, the doble steam car did that fully automatic in 1920 and it took only 2 min to get to operating pressure. Skoda made in the early 2000's a steam car that was more efficient than a internal combustion engine and only took less than half a minute to get to operating pressure.
