Description
This microcontroller manages steam boiler pressure and temperature. Managing boilers is all about temperature and steam production. The more turbines you have the higher temperatures you need to produce enough steam to power them. You can adjust the temperature for different pressure ranges to slow steam production down as you get closer to your target stable pressure. You should try honing in the Stable Increase Temperature and Stable Decrease Temperature to prevent as much pressure fluctuation as possible to have a stable turbine rps.

Stage 1 Temperature - Warm up goal temp. You want this to be the highest but not too high depending on how fast your boiler cools down.

Stage 1 Pressure Max - Max pressure for Stage 1 temp goal.

Stage 2 Temperature - In between Stage 1 and the Stable Increase Temperature.

Stage 2 Pressure Max - Max pressure for Stage 2 temp goal.

Stable Increase Temperature - Temperature that will increase steam production to increase pressure when the pressure drops below the Stable Pressure.
(Want hot enough to produce enough steam to increase pressure but not too much that you drastically overshoot your Stable Pressure.)

Stable Decrease Temperature - Temperature that will decrease steam production to decrease pressure when the pressure rises above the Stable Pressure.
(Want cool enough to produce enough steam to decrease pressure but not too much that you drastically undershoot your Stable Pressure.)

Stable Pressure - Pressure the boiler will stabilize around.

Max Pressure - Max pressure that the Boiler Coolant Pumps will be active.
