Proper ratio of pump > boiler > steam engine?

[Blaank]

With the changes has the ratio of 1 pump, 14 boilers, and 10 steam engines changed?

EDIT: The new ratio is 1 pump, 20 boilers, 40 steam engines.

[Hexafish]

Yes, it has changed.

[Blaank]

What is the new ratio?

[Tarradax]

1 Pump : 20 Boilers : 40 Engines.

1 pump = 1200 fluid/s, engines consume 30/s. We already know that the boiler:engine ratio is 1:2 because the devs said so.

Do steam engines still consume 30/s or was it changed?

Does steam behave in the exact same way as fluids?

Can heat be transported via steam at full pipe capacity?

[Tarradax]

Yes, Yes, Yes.

The game also gives you tooltips with all the values, so you can actually do the math yourself. All the values are right there.

Curious. 40 engines on a single pump. That means even a puddle can supply your main factory now well into late game :D

Haven't noticed that yet. Thanks.

is it me, or do the boilers use a mad amount of fuel?

Steam Engine blueprint minus the pump. Yellow belt and yellow inserters, Close to minimum poles. Edit: I did a dumb and forgot the pipes.

Yeah, The energy consumption is much higher now.

EDIT: Actually, it was using an insane amount of coal when I first setup, but it went back down after more boilers were fueled.

[Warlord]

I am sure they said it was 1 boiler per steam engine just a day or so ago....
Well anyway, I set up 20 boilers to 20 engines, and at max load, a boiler burns through a coal in, like 3 seconds. It is insane how fast it goes through it. I don't think that is right.

[Blaank]

Steam engines output 2x as much power and take in 2x as much steam now. So it may be correct. Also the ratio of boilers to steam engines went from 7:5 to 7:14. Each boiler is eating coal way faster.

[ultramanj]

Boilers to steam engines is now 1 to 2.
