Flash Boiler

The Flash Boiler is a multi-block structure from the Flaxbeard's Steam Power mod. It is an upgraded version of the Boiler. It creates steam when given solid fuel, such as coal or wood, and water. Steam can be piped out of the top 4 blocks on any side, including the top. Water can be input into it by using a bucket of water on the multi-block, or by pumping it in with an Archimedes Screw, or other means of fluid transport. Water can be pumped into it from all sides.

It uses the same GUI as the Boiler, with the two input slots on the left for fuel, the left tank for water, and the right tank for steam. It can store 80 buckets of water, and 80 measurements of steam, which are both 10x as much as the Boiler. As well as the storage capacity, the Flash Boiler will consume water and fuel 10x as fast as the Boiler, and its output will also be tenfold.

It requires time to heat up, and will not produce steam quickly or efficiently until it is warmed up.

Using water buckets directly on the device is slightly glitchy, in that the bucket will appear to have disappeared. This can be solved by either using the use key with the slot that the bucket would be in, or by selecting the slot that the bucket would be in in-inventory.

The Flash Boiler is at risk of exploding if it has too much pressure. This can be protected against by using a Steam Whistle or a Rupture Disc.

Construction
The Flash Boiler multi-block requires 8 Flash Boiler Component blocks. In total, it will require 8 Bronze Ingots or Plates, 8 Pipes, 12 Nether Bricks, 4 Boilers, and 4 Steam Tanks. It is a 2x2x2 multi-block structure.
