Reactor - steam output issues

    Basically, trying something new in my SSP world. EU production using the turbine from railcraft.


    Now, the problem I have is that I don't feel it worth to create everything already when I now that with standard config settings your average eu is a lot lower than using nuclear eu - with a significantly higher cost I might add.


    So, I wondered; does the nuclear reactor in steam mode output more steam if I change my config setting to, for example, 20?

    the point of steam reactors is to ADD complexity and make it MORE difficult, but to answer your question the steam production is 1eu/t = 3.2mB/t, whatever you set the generation multiplier at the steam production will follow I REALLY suggest using a direct connection via placement on a valve block of a railcraft steam tank or multiple connections of liquiducts (1 duct per 320mb of steam/tick produced) or you wont be able to transport the steam causing a bottleneck


    you even get a direct output buff if you use industrial steam engines + MJ>EU transformer (at the default 2.5) instead of a turbine that effectively converts at 1.5625


    ( a 100eu/t reactor produces enough steam to run 1 turbine at 100eu/t, but in steam engines this amount of steam produces 64MJ, which then converts at the transformer ratio to 160eu/t, a 60% increase) that is unless you balance the transformers mod to railcrafts standards at 1.5625 ( a ratio of 16:25) or make it easier for a little loss at 2:3 (1.5)
