Best boiler to Steam ratio now, is it still 15 is the best for multiple gnerators?This calculator is the result of a few years' worth of fooling around, off and on, with performing calculations using Factorio's recipe graph. You may find an essay on the subject, which outlines the techniques used in this calculator, here. Features of this calculator include: Proper handling of oil products.

Did you know?

I know that it's 1:14:10 for the vanilla ones, but how do we calculate that? And for Bob's, which adds mk2 boilers and engines, how do we calculate…All liquid values were increased by 10x, so this is double the production. So, the old ratio was 1 pump produced 60 water, which when heated fully contained (85 degrees * 1kJ * 60 water = 5100kJ) of energy. 5100kJ of power was consumed by exactly 10 Steam Engines (510kW * 10 engines = 5100kJ). And to heat this up, you needed 13-14 boilers ...To calculate how many steam engines worth of coal a fast belt can support, you may use the following formula: 8000 KW (Fuel value) * 0.5 (Boiler efficiency) * 26.67 items/s (Fast belt throughput) / 900 KW (Steam engine output) = ~118.53 engines.Mycroft4114. • 2 yr. ago. Yeah, the 5000 degree steam is for later generators. For now, you can set the electric boilers to produce 500 degree steam, and do what you planned. Store a bunch of steam in tanks connected to a big array of turbines to power the umbrella. This is how I defend against CMEs as well.Best boiler to Steam ratio now, is it still 15 is the best for multiple gnerators?Factorio Forums. www.factorio.com. Quick links.

Post by Forzberg » Mon Apr 24, 2017 9:19 pm. yeah.... like topic says, too many smart people here to "waste" my own time and headache haha. Top. Zeblote ...I heard 2.5 but from practical testing with boilers/steam engines, I consistently see that 1 off-shore pump fills 1 pipe despite not being at 100 water. ... Just match the pump to the boilers. The ratio is 1 pump to 20 boilers. And get rid of those pipe junctions. ... Factorio's logic is the way it is , infinite water from a 3x3 tile with a ...Dec 20, 2017 · Since the power output has not been changed, solar panels to steam engines ratio seems like it would still be 17:2, but I just wanted to make sure I have the steam engines to boilers right. The normal ratio is 2:1, which would need to be multiplied by 100:30 (as the boilers are always working and the steam engines only 30% of the …1.4 (most people just do 2) though the perfect ratio for steam engines is 1 offshore pump to 14 boilers to 10 engines, the pump makes 60 water/tick and each engine consumes 6/tick. 14 boilers heats the water up enough to provide 100% max power to each engine. The wiki says "The current optimal ratio is 1 offshore pump : 14 boilers : 10 steam ...A little confusing, but change is good. 1:20:40 pump to boiler to steam engine. Edit: so 1:2 boiler to steam engine ratio to answer your question more specifically. Keep this bookmarked, all kinds of useful info on ratios. I remember it was a really goofy setup before with long lines of steam engines but I haven't played since 0.14.x.Jul 31, 2021 · However the upsides: a single Burner Turbine generates more power (2MW) than a Boiler+2 Steam Engine setup (1.8MW) it is much cheaper than the Boiler setup you can push off the fluid handling tech branch until quite a lot later, and get electric labs and such first no need to mess around with pumping water, this thing can go anywhere much …Steam engines "work" with 500C, but the same amount of steam ran through a turbine will generate more power, thus the energy is lost. It's because engines can only process the first 165C of the steam, rather than the other 500C. I'm not sure if it's an even ratio (165/500), or a simple double energy storage.In this video I go over the initial start in Factorio, and one of the quickest ways to advance to Steam power and electricity. I also go over fairly quickly ...Feb 25, 2015 · And finally, an ongoing bug is causing the ratio of boilers/engines to be slightly lower than 1:2. As such, any 1:2 steam engine setup, including this one, will eventually run out of steam. After approximately 20 minutes, the steam buffers in the boilers and engines will deplete in this setup, causing average power production to drop by roughly ...The 1:2 boiler to engine ratio is no longer valid for K2SE games, the new ratio is 3:10 (33.33.. steam/second created per boiler, 10 steam/second consumed by the engines). Your electric boiler plan won't work for two reasons. The first is that steam engines waste any heat energy above 165c so boiling water up to 500c and then putting it into an ...DTTheProgrammer. •. Each boiler makes up to 60 steam per second, while each steam engine consumes up to 30 steam per second. You'll never be able to produce more than 60 steam per second worth of power with a single boiler, so any more than 2 steam engines is useless, in terms of average power. However, there are times where having more than ...0.15 Boiler Ratio. Hi all, has the boiler ratio changed at all in 0.15? :) 1 pump -> 20 boilers -> 40 steam engines. can anyone confirm if all boilers are 100% with this setup? or do the engines lack water/heat near the end of the line? do boilers and steam engines need to be intermixed in this version? or can you frontload boilers without a ...Put a pipe on the boiler steam output. You need it with small electric poles. The ratio for steam power is: 1 pump : 10 boilers: 40 steam engines - Connect all boilers like you have in the bottom left of the image, in a line, and then 2 steam engines per boiler. Feed the whole line with a belt of coal and pick with coal fed inserters in the ...I have two questions about boilers. First, if I build the standard 1-14-10 steam setup, but only have a few things in my factory that need power, am I correc…A MK2 steam engine consumes 0.625 units of water per tick, or 37.5 a second. This means 70/37.5 = 1.8666 steam engines per boiler. at MK2 boiler temperatures you'll also get 1815kW (1650kW from consumed water * 1.1 efficiency) from each MK2 steam engine too. Also for this maths, you can figure out that, if you had 10 …Each steam engine needs 0.5 boilers when running at full capacity. One offshore pumpcan supply 20 boilers and 40 steam engines. The above ratio can be calculated from … See more14 boilers, 10 steam engines, fully charge/decharge is 100 solarpanels , 84 accs. so a 0.84 ratio between them. #3. Squirting Elephant Mar 1, 2016 @ 2:22pm. Originally posted by wanyfer: boilers only produce pollution when they are on and a boiler wont turn on if the water is already at 100 temp.So I have a bunch of coal lined up on a transport belt, but the inserter won't grab them and put them in the boiler. How should I do this? Thanks in advance!

Steam engines are notoriously bad in the lategame, mainly because they don't scale well, steam engine power plants can usually grow in only one direction. For example, my biggest factory would need around 3000 steam engines, which would then need 300 pumps which is just impractical. The same logic also applies to way smaller factories, 30 pumps ...A belt can supply 26.67 coal/s. If 60 boilers and 120 steam engines need 27 coal/s then each steam engine needs 27/120 = 0.225 coal/s. So 119 steam engines need 119*0.225 = 26.775 coal/s. Ups And 118 engines need 118*0.225 = 26.55 coal/s. I was trying to show that with 119 engines you waste nearly a full engines worth of coal.The steam turbine consumes steam to create electric energy. It is usually used together with heat exchangers and a nuclear reactor.. While designed for the 500°C steam of a nuclear reactor, turbines can still be connected to boilers for use in conventional 165°C steam power. At this mode, the steam turbine acts equal to two separate steam engines, producing 1800 kW and consuming 60 steam/sec.Jul 24, 2023 · 1/20/40 = 1 Water Pump, 20 Boilers, 40 Steam Engines. Make sure you have an electrical pole covering each engine to make use of its power. If there are no consumer buildings (assemblers, inserters, etc.) …

And what's the new ratio of shore pump/boiler/steam engine? They have one output (the side) which outputs steam for engines. They have two input/outputs for water (the ends). One boiler will produce exactly enough steam for two engines. One offshore pump provides enough water for at least 20 boilers. So a quick calc makes 40 steam engines then.2 days ago · Tutorial:Nuclear power. Nuclear power requires higher level technology compared to either solar power or steam boiler power, but it offers very high power output in exchange. It's a great solution for middle- to end-game power generation and it works well in combination with other power generation techniques.Mycroft4114. • 2 yr. ago. Yeah, the 5000 degree steam is for later generators. For now, you can set the electric boilers to produce 500 degree steam, and do what you planned. Store a bunch of steam in tanks connected to a big array of turbines to power the umbrella. This is how I defend against CMEs as well.…

Reader Q&A - also see RECOMMENDED ARTICLES & FAQs. I keep reading that the optimal setup is 1 offshore. Possible cause: used to be 1 pump to 14 boilers to 10 steam engines. Now a pump supplies 1200 .

Steam power is a type of electricity requiring both water and fuel. Any type of burnable fuel can be used. Offshore Pump Boiler Steam Engine Any burnable fuel will work. e.g. coal Electric Poles Place the Offshore Pump into the water. Connect the boilers to the offshore pump. Attach the Steam Engine to the boilers. Place an Electric Pole within range of the steam engine. Finally, insert fuel ...With the standard 13:10 boiler:steam engine ratio, effectively ~100% of the fuel energy consumed by boilers is turned into electricity. Even if steam engines were implemented as a perfect Carnot cycle, then for hot temperature 100C~=373K and cold temperature 15C=~288K, their energy conversion efficiency would be around (1 - (288/373)) ~= 23%.Check the tempatures, they might need more Boilers. I use to use five steam engines for seven boiler, but I just started a new game and that ratio doesn't seem to work. The first boiler in the line had a temp of like 25, then the next was like 35, 45, etc. Hope this helps. Per the screenshot: Available performance is full. Performance is low.

There are a lot of posts on the optimal ratio of pumps:boilers:engines, but I coulnd't find any post discussing the amount of mines needed to keep these boil…Hi !! I try to find the ratio between the number of coal drill and the new boiler because i just start a new map this morning and i need to find a lot of coal

If enabled, the main changes are: new boilers It is a bit more space-efficient at the boiler side of things. Also it looks really neat. There is not loss in efficiency compared to the traditional 1:14:10 layout as far as I can tell, as long as you keep the number of pipes between boilers and steam engines small. Sorry about the rails, they had to go through somewhere ;) Thanks! Each boiler uses 780kW at 50% efficiency, sFeb 21, 2022 · Solar + steam storag The advanced boilers and steam engines are from Bob's mods, not Angel's mods. So this isn't the right subforum. Regardless, the equation for figuring out the correct ratio should be: (B*e)/P = N, where "B" is the boiler's power consumption (essentially the rate at which it receives energy from fuel), "e" is the efficiency of the boiler (converted to a decimal, e.g. 50% = 0.5), "P" is the power ... Factorio Steam Power Setup & Ratios Tutorial. In thi Draw steam engines with our step-by-step instructions. Release your inner artist as you learn to steam engines. Advertisement ­Choo-choo! Every kid loves a steam engine ­-- and lot... The steam turbine consumes steam to create electric eJul 10, 2017 · Greetings, first tA MK2 steam engine consumes 0.625 units of water Khan Boyzitbig of Mercia Nov 19, 2017 @ 3:08pm. Steam engines don't work the same in 0.15+ as they did in 0.14 and below. Make sure the water intake of the boilers is inline with the output of the offshore pump and that the engine or steam pipe to the engine is not connected to the water supply but to the steam output of the boilers.Now mouse over a steam engine. Notice how the "steam per second" bar is some number out of 30 steam per second - this means that a steam engine can consume 30 units of steam per second. This 60-to-30 ratio is why people say "two engines per boiler." There's no limit - you can put five hundred engines on a boiler if you want! Best boiler to Steam ratio now, is it still 15 is the For mk2 boilers and mk2 steam engines the ratio is 8:24. With the steam engines stacked by 3. Thats with 1 pump connected. Fluid mechanics in factorio is weird. Best to have it as 1:8:24 for mk2 and get full throughput. Yes. Steam turbines consume up to 60 water/sec and have a maxim[Originally posted by knighttemplar1960: You are getting into mStandard boiler power plant. This one uses burner inser 0.1.0 (3 years ago) Factorio version: 1.1. Downloaded by: 3.14K users. Adds advanced versions for boilers and steam engines which are more efficient and output more power.Dawnchaser0. • 8 yr. ago. The 1/14/10 ratio applies at full power draw, once your power consumption goes over ~48% you will start to notice your energy satisfaction and temperature of water dropping, it can consistently manage to produce only about 2.3 MW with 6 boilers vs the max for 10 steam engines which is 5.1 MW, with 13/14 boilers.
