Reference mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Steamed
Only one entity with fluid power source tries to take all steam.
It's the same entity, it has the same producting spead, but when pipe is full, it takes almost all fluid from pipe.
Expected: more fluid consumption makes production faster. Result: same speed and void all of steam in the pipe by ridiculous speed.

Re: [Dominik][0.17.4][Mod] fluid type energy source takes too much fluid
Hi, I am not very proficient with the LUA stuff, but I think that your fluid energy source is badly configured. It has parameter fluid_usage_per_tick which is in your case 0 meaning consume all. And I see it also has bool scale_fluid_usage which does the other option you asked.
