v.12 pipe question
Posted: Tue Sep 15, 2015 9:12 pm
All the factorio docs I have read are old and I am having an odd issue that I am not sure if it's because of v.12 or not.
I have noticed that my steam factories have a poor performance status but 100% water levels, 9.2 water / s, 100 Degrees Temp, and 100% available performance. At first I thought my steam engines scaled back due to the power consumption of my factories but then I looked at my power report and now I'm more confused.
My power report says:
Consuming: 10 MW
Producing: 10 MW (But the green bar is about 30% full)
So I thought I needed more steam engines but I'm not seeing any improvement in my performance. What's happening???
Also, I read an article regarding storing steam in tanks for use later. Is this still a valid way to save power or are solar / accumulator farms the best??
Any newer guides out there?
Thanks!
