Do we have to explicitly stick to things that only use steam to function? So maybe you could have the circuit board thing, and then you are blowing a gun of steam on it to "melt" connections into place, and you have to melt the right circuits to get the current to flow. It would be like soldering a printed circuit board, but with fantasy technology.
