Ratio of boilers to offshore pumps

[Somtuk]

Ok, I haven't played the game in years (since the 1.0 release really) and I'm getting back into it now. I know some things have changed, but the ratio between Offshore Pumps and Boilers is very odd to me.

Previously (and I re-checked the wiki to be sure), it was 1 Offshore Pump was good enough for 20 Boilers, which then can feed 40 Steam Engines.

Now, looking at tooltips, the Offshore Pump produces 1200 water/second, however the Boiler only consumes 6 water/second. Unless I'm having a serious brain meltdown, that now means 1 Offshore Pump is good for 200 Boilers (10x more), which then can feed 400 Steam Engines (10x more).

Am I reading this right? Is the official wiki out of date?

Yes, I can test this myself, but I'm not far enough into my game to be able to produce on that scale. I was hoping for clarification before I plan out that far ahead.

*sigh* I am having a brain fart today.

Going to read the patch notes to see if that clears things up.

That good changes for me, water shouldn't be a pain. I guess the dev played satisfactory and get so angry about water in satisfactory they did this change in factory in hope satisfactory dev will also reduce the water need for electricity in satisfactory. At least that what I think for now haha.

More realistically, it's probably because since 2.0 change the fluid, having one pump was enough instead of spawning 50 pump for nuclear power, or maybe later in the DLC we need a lot lot lot of water.

1 Water will now produce 10 Steam in boilers/heat exchangers.
Boilers will respect conservation of energy by considering heat capacity of input and output fluids.

Or maybe they just wanted respect physic ?
