Steam Core is one of the Resources in Frostpunk. Certain buildings require a steam core to operate, usually required in buildings that must maintain temperature such as a Hothouse, or those that utilize heavy machinery such as Coal Mine, or Wall Drill. It is also the core component in the construction of Automatons.

Steam Core is the only item in the game that the player cannot create (nor destroy, luckily), but must be found from scouting. Typically they are found by exploring nodes, but if you set up an Outpost in Tesla City in A New Home, you can receive 1 Steam Core per day. Cores are refunded whenever their building is deconstructed.

Steam Cores are always usable for two important primary purposes: the creation of Automatons and the building of advanced structures, including certain resource methods and the Infirmary and Factory. In some scenarios, certain events will also give you the choice of sacrificing a Steam Core in exchange for a powerful positive outcome or may be required by the scenario to progress.

Out of the four main resource types, Coal, Wood, Steel, and Raw Food, Steel is the only one that does not have a Steam Core building and never requires Steam Cores. The rest all have one line - the Coal Mine, Wall Drill, and Hothouses. There are however infinite alternatives for Coal and Food in Coal Thumpers and Hunters' Huts, but they do require more workforce to achieve the same resource rates as results. This does give the Hothouse an advantage at the start of a game before Hunting research takes effect; and the Steam Coal Mine is also one of the most efficient ways to produce Coal with strong upgrades. However, with the availability of alternatives and enough workers, Steam Core buildings may therefore not always be required. Wood is the only resource that truly needs a dedicated Steam Core to continue infinite production, although dead trees for use in the much cheaper Sawmill are usually quite plentiful. As constructing upgraded buildings also consumes a Steam Core, bear in mind that upgrades primarily delivers worker and space/slot efficiency, rather than increased production per core. If the goal is simply to use all Steam Cores, the player can often simply place more buildings rather than upgrading them until available spaces have been used, and save the technology time. The exception is the Steam Coal Mine, which becomes significantly more efficient as a "Level 2" upgrade.

Out of the main medical buildings, the Infirmary has a significant advantage over Medical Posts in terms of patient capacity and heal/cure speed, and can also natively cure Gravely Ill patients, even without Radical Treatment. However, there are alternatives. With Faith laws, the House of Healing may be used to heal the Gravely Ill and also has a large capacity. And if there are enough Engineers and space available or few citizens are getting sick due to cold, it is quite acceptable to just place more Posts instead.

The Factory is a stepping stone to producing more Automatons. The Steam Core required for the factory is essentially a down payment before other Steam Cores can be used, and also the factory's steam core can be retrieved by deconstruction, after as many Automatons have been produced as necessary. Producing automatons can be a tradeoff in steam cores against constructing or upgrading the other buildings - while more automatons will generally be more flexible, multiple automatons cannot take advantage of a limited amount of building slots. Additionally, automatons are less useful if the generator is shut down which can favor the use of other uses/buildings. Like other Steam Cores, automatons can be deconstructed as necessary for other uses as required, although the production time at the factory and a few normal resources are "wasted".

According to in-game Lore, the Steam Core were invented by Professor Hawkins before the Great Frost. The invention of Steam Cores became a massive boon for the British Empire and the technology was adopted by other countries, such as the United States.

However, all knowledge regarding the manufacture of Steam Cores was lost during the Great Frost and in the ensuing chaos of civilizations' collapse. Most tragically was the loss of Professor Hawkins, who attempted to cross the Channel with his belongs, including all the blueprints and other documentation about Steam Cores, onboard an experimental Steam Core powered aeroplane. Only a Model of the Steam Core Prototype inside a waterproof chest was found afloat by a corvette searching for Professor Hawkins.

For more massive stars, the smaller observational signal often impedes precise planetary mass determination. In that case, a clear picture of density does not emerge with present-day data, and the different theoretical models cannot easily be falsified18 unless the planetary masses are constrained using theoretical arguments, such as the output of a planet formation model15,19,20.

This prior work excluded that the super-Earths contain substantial amounts of water and favoured water-poor sub-Neptune compositions because planets containing solid ice were located in the radius gap. Later, a combined formation and evolution model with the correct water phases demonstrated the emergence of the radius valley as a separator between dry and wet planets formed within, respectively beyond, the ice line15. In that work, the main driver of the dichotomy is varying pebble accretion efficiency based on pebble composition, which produces smaller rocky and larger icy cores. Recently, another study20 reached the same conclusion using a similar model, incorporating also N-body interactions between planets.

The light blue line shows the observed distribution without correction for the observational bias2 and the grey line the synthetic one using the updated, nominal evolution model with the bias of the Kepler survey applied. Opaque lines show 500 random realizations of the synthetic planets with 5% error in radii. We restrict the sample to planets with certain orbital periods (P), as indicated in the top-left corner of each panel. Histogram bin counts are normalized by the total number of planets in the different samples.

We further varied model assumptions to understand how robust the results are. First, we found them to be insensitive to any bloating mechanism (Methods). Second, under the assumption that water is buried below the H/He envelope and is forced to remain in condensed form, we do not reproduce the radius valley (Fig. 2b). Instead, water-rich cores populate the radius range where the observed valley is located. This is in agreement with previous works19,22 and shows that the cause of recovering a radius valley with water-rich planets can be attributed to the (correct) phase of water and its distribution within the envelope.

As a third variation, Fig. 2c shows the case excluding atmospheric mass loss while keeping the water mixed into the H/He envelope. There, we get a distribution that is not in agreement with the presence of a radius valley. Instead, we obtain many (low-mass) large planets with a rocky core and a H/He envelope and also a distribution of water-rich planets that smoothly extend to low radii. In reality, both of these kinds of planets would be unable to retain most of their volatile envelopes. For the same reason, too few rocky planets exist. This highlights the need for atmospheric escape shaping the distribution of planetary radii even for water-rich compositions. It is necessary to populate the super-Earth peak with rocky planets by stripping their H/He envelopes. We conclude that the valley is a hybrid consequence of both formation (migration leading to the sub-Neptune peak) and evolution (evaporation leading to the super-Earth peak).

The planets with water but without H/He (blue) fill the parameter space at radii greater than the rocky planets above the valley and at larger distances. Planets with H/He (orange) populate the even larger radii and are also more common at lower radii further from the star.

As revealed by the selected formation tracks in Extended Data Fig. 2, this pattern is shaped by migration and collisions during the formation stage as well as photoevaporation. Rocky planets generally form at short distances inside the water snowline. They grow first by planetesimal accretion and then (and most importantly) by giant impacts with other rocky protoplanets. However, their growth is limited by the number of building blocks inside the ice line. Due to their small mass, little orbital migration occurs inside the ice line.

During the evolution stage, planets cool and are subject to photoevaporation, which reduces their size. The most frequent evolutionary pathway is the loss of a (pure) H/He atmosphere from a rocky core. A mixed or water-dominated envelope can also be lost completely, resulting in a bare, rocky core. This happened for 17% of the (eventually) rocky super-Earths in the biased, synthetic population, which had at least 10% water by mass after the formation stage. This outcome occurs for the lightest migrating planets.

Although there is an overlap in mass between volatile-rich and rocky planets (Extended Data Fig. 3), the overall formation pathway occurs along the following lines: rocky cores are lower-mass planets that formed almost in situ by a giant impact stage, while volatile-rich planets are more massive and for that reason migrated substantially to their present-day location. Low-mass, volatile-rich planets at large distances, in contrast, do not migrate towards the host star (which would fill the valley), because type I migration is slower for lower planet mass34.
