Fueled by Petroleum. Rate of consumption appears to depend on the level of tuning; fuel is consumed faster (and goods are produced faster) with higher tuning. More fuel can be added while the Steam Shovel is running. Maximum fuel capacity is 350. For an untuned Steam Shovel, this will last just over one realtime day.

Based on current data, the formula appears to be (240 / (16 - Tuning)) Petroleum consumed per Teppy-hour.

Please use the talk page to provide tentative data
on stone output rates until a decent formula can be estimated.

Items may not be removed from the Steam Shovel while it is running.

May be tuned with the Mechanics skill, and accepts a Springbox.
