=== Upgrades ===
1st upgrade, up to 3000 items:
*{{Require | 600 | Concrete|verified=true}}
*{{Require | 10 | Treated Metal|Copper Sheeting: Stainless Insulative for the boiler|verified=true}}
*{{Require | 500 | Raeli Tiles|White Raeli Tiles|verified=true}}
*{{Require | 100 | Octec's Alloy Wire|verified=true}}

2nd upgrade:
*{{Require | 100 | Bolt|verified=true}}
*{{Require | 100 | Washer|verified=true}}
*{{Require | 2000 | Raeli Tiles|Black Raeli Tiles|verified=true}}
*{{Require | 200 | Wood Treatment Tank|Treated Boards that are Hard, Rigid, yet Fireproof|verified=true}}
*{{Require | 20 | Treated Metal|Copper Sheeting: Stainless Insulative for the boiler|verified=true}}
*{{Require | 25 | Iron Bars|verified=true}}

== Details ==

At tuning level 3 the Steam Distaff processes 6 lint or tow per duck minute. This is not 1 per 10 seconds, as it jumps in groups of six per minute, not adjusting 1 per 10 seconds. I did not test speed before tuning or at Level 1 or 2. - TimberNZ, Tale 8

== Use ==
* Spin [[Lint]] into [[produces::Thread]]
* Spin [[Tow]] into [[produces::Twine]]
* Spin [[Twine]] into [[produces::Rope]]
* Spin [[Wool]] into [[produces::Yarn]]
* Spin [[Thread]] into [[produces::Linen Cord]]
* Spin [[Steel Wire]] into [[produces::Cable]] (Does this require a pinch roller upgrade?)

== Further Upgrades ==

The Steam Distaff may be tuned using the [[Mechanics]] skill to increase operating speed - though not efficiency - or upgraded with [[requires::Springbox]] to improve both speed and efficiency. Data is needed on the exact improvements a given springbox may be expected to make.
