I dont understand fluid

I'm having a couple problems I can't figure out.

So I'm trying to get my 5k super plasma for my riftgate. I thought I needed plasma converters to get 75 super plasma each, but when I connected them to the gate, they were providing 300 and not 75. Also I accidentally built more than my fusion reactors should have been able to support, but they were all active and contributing 300 to my total.

Which leads me to my next question, how does additional storage work? Because I'm getting the additional storage value instead of the production value.

Once the riftgate turns on will it be draining 5k/s? Because then I'll need to quadruple my output once the stores run out to keep it going.

Am I over thinking this or underthinking this?

The listed objctive is storage not production
The 1 million energy, 5000 super charged plasma and 5000 supercoolant is consumed instantly when you activate it, after that it needs 10K energy per second, 50/s super charged plasma and 100/s water or 50/s supercoolant

Plasma converters only consume plasma when there's room to store the supercharged plasma or it's being consumed.

If your riftgate isn't active it's not consuming any so once your supercharged plasma storage gets full the converters go on idle. They all read as fully active since your plasma storage is also full so they could all run for a while.

They'll start blinking off and on once you consume your stores and they don't get enough from your fusion plants to supply them all.

So the liquid storage structure is only necessary for this one objective in the campaign?

This makes sense, I overlooked that. Thank you.
