Can it condense back into a liquid?

I just had an idea of making a steam-generator which condenses at the top of a shaft and then runs through a waterwheel to get to the bottom again.

The only issues are condensing the steam and making steam without obsidianizing the whole generator.

No, it doesn't. At least, not from what I've seen in Arena mode.

Otherwise, someone would have already weaponized it.

That would be awesome, but the previous quote remains.  Someone would have weaponized it if it were possible.

Would be cool if it did work, then we could have a steam-powered generator

Oh, that steam. I didn't even know steam existed in the game.

Or maybe there's a god who's just completely insane and sends you to Detroit, Michigan in a new body if you ever utter the name "Pat Sajak".
