Objective: Build Your First Steam Power Plant

Construct your first Steam Power plant in Factorio with offshore pumps, boilers, and steam engines for reliable electricity.

Construct a Steam Power plant using Offshore Pumps, Boilers, and Steam Engines. A common early-game setup is 1 Offshore Pump feeding 14 Boilers, which in turn power 10 Steam Engines. Ensure your Boilers are continuously supplied with Coal.

Connect your power plant to your factory using Small Electric Poles. Expand this as your power demands increase, always keeping an eye on your energy consumption.
