MODERATORS
Their engine is called source.
The collection of libraries valve release to use steam (the piping, if you will), is called steamworks.
Would have been cooler if they named their engine Vapor instead
Also Steam Boxes should have been called Boilers. Maybe then they would have succeeded.
The code name of the first Steam Box, before it was released, was Piston, which fits the theme pretty well. e.g. https://www.polygon.com/2013/1/7/3849284/piston-valve-steam-box-xi3
