For too long have we relied on cogs and gears to control our lives. Welcome to a new age, the age of steam! The simple valve, which controls the flow of steam based on the pressure on it's control ports, is the only component that is needed to revolutionise our control over machines. From simple switches, to adders, tabulators, and eventually entire computers.(Storyline via IGDB)
