Here are a bunch of ideas about steampunk looping. You could totally get away with using time travel in steampunk as an easy way to have cool loops that still seem vaguely possible given some science fiction technologies like those proposed by Einstein's theory of relativity. First off, one possibility is creating loops around certain moments that hold key information to figuring out mysteries in a steampunk story. Think like using clockwork gear-turning contraptions with a hidden journal written in invisible ink, where deciphering it would require rewinding the gears exactly right each time before making the journal visible. Next up could be having looping as a key tool for your characters trying to fix anomalies or disruptions caused by past interactions between time travelers. This involves tracking the distortions across timelines using various intricate charts that could somehow predict which steps you'd need to undo, and reapply correctly when they all match.
