Overview
The Steam Works is an infrastructure building of the Industrial Age that holds the city together: it provides the services, storage, defence, or power that let everything around it run.
As a Infrastructure structure, the Steam Works belongs to the infrastructure side of the city. Introduced in the Industrial Age, the age of steam and steel.
Gameplay
Build cost. Raising the Steam Works costs 420 Stone and 360 Gold. Plan the spend against your current stockpiles before you commit the plot.
Footprint. It occupies a 2x2 plot, so leave room on the map before you place it.
Height. The Steam Works is a single-floor building, which keeps its layout simple but makes the surrounding road and service network carry more of the planning weight.
Output. Once built it produces 34 Energy each turn, feeding Energy into your economy.
Upkeep. It draws 3 Gold in upkeep every turn whether or not it is producing, so weigh the running cost against the benefit.
