Steam Engines Full Guide (From the Depths 2021)

Had to take down the video momentarily to fix an error, I (wrongly) claimed that a large crank can only connect 1 large piston, however they can take up to 3!
Also my RPM/Friction graph is slightly off, since RPM to friction is linear, but the power output scales exponentially to RPM. The point I'm making remains the same, the graph is just slightly wrong.


Few more resources, that have been circling around on the discord for ages:
