 Tuning does not affect the efficiency (Stones per Petroleum) of the Steam Shovel, but adding a [[requires::Springbox]] does. This means that a well-tuned Steam Shovel will go through fuel more quickly than an un-Tuned Steam Shovel - the difficulty with Steam Shovels often being keeping them fed often enough to get to the higher efficiency tiers, as it takes days of uninterrupted run-time.

	The shovel becomes more efficient the longer it runs. After 6 days, it goes to 2x and increases another level every 3 days. After 21 days, it maxes out at 7x per petroleum consumed. Notably, this is directly a factor of run-time, and not simply from the steam shovel having produced a given amount of stones (or consumed a given amount of fuel) in a single run.

 There is a short (<1 hour) period of low production (but regular fuel consumption) right after starting the Steam Shovel, after which it settles into its normal rate. On average, a basic Steam Shovel will produce 1 [[Dirt]], 1/2 [[Cuttable Stone]], and 1/7 [[Medium Stones]] per Petroleum consumed.
