https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine The stirling engine design is a closed loop system, meaning that the fluids used to convert the heat to electric energy are not lost (i.e. not vented.)

But shouldn't it be more efficient then? ^^

Are you running factorio 0.12.11, but have not updated this mod? That might cause things to malfunction.

I'm still on 12.10, since some of the mods I'm using are not updated to be compatible with 12.11 yet.

I'll update to 12.11 as soon as possible and try again.

/c  
local p = game.local_player.position
local X = p.x
local Y = p.y
local power = {}		
		panels =	game.players[1].surface.find_entities_filtered{area = {{X -2, Y - 2 }, {X + 2  , Y +2 }}, name= "burner-generator-power"}
		if panels[1] ~= nil then
		panels[1].destroy()	end

So just stand near the ghost and paste that into the console

let me know if it works

I changed the balance of electricity production, add new research and change entity graphics (I used recolored rafinery) but I let your script untouched (I mean the part which makes whole thing functional). I'd like to create some "General Improvements plugin" and this was the first thing I did. (right now I have sorta new tier of solar panel)
Credits in a mod-thread is sure thing!
