Crude Steam

Crude steam is the steam used in many industrial sectors by Steam Cores to power auxilary machinery, such as lighting. It gains its name because it is made by compressing the exhaust of other machines.

Commonly described as smelling like oil, farts, or fish. It depends on what the steam was compressed from.

It's a bit tainty. Best to just dab some perfume on your kerchief and wear it over your face, if you haven't got an oxy mask to spare.
