Having low performance isn't bad by itself, it means your load isn't high enough to require more output. I also have dozens of old fashioned steam engines running, maybe 80 steam engines. All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries. These fuel cells are then burned in a nuclear reactor to create heat. I totally overlooked that having 2 radars and 6 pumps instead of 1 and 3 increases the consumption from 390 to 780. If so what does it say? by Skellitor301 » Thu Mar 26, 2015 5:54 am, Post Note your steam engines will only produce as much juice as they need. Press J to jump to the feed. by Patric20878 » Fri Feb 27, 2015 8:49 pm, Post So steam at 165 degrees has a power of 30kj per unit. please help. by Patric20878 » Sun Mar 01, 2015 11:45 pm, Post Post My other steam engine rows don't have this problem. Post Fewer steam engines will power your plant normally, the excess energy stored in the accumilators with comine with steam engine power to push though the waves of bugs. Reduces all Generators output by 1/3, and reduces steam usage. A steam engine's power production compared to steam consumption gives you a ratio to use. any help will be much apprecaited. Replacing these pipes solved the problem. In designs where everything is connected to each other you can easily run into situations where some turbines aren't running when they should. A steam engine can produce 900kW of energy from the stored steam (3 times faster discharge rate), and a turbine can produce 5800kW (6.4 times faster discharge rate). They're all like this. There is no need for space between rows, it tiles upward as far as you want, and I guess you could go up to something like 31 adjacent rows with blue belt (310 engines! Just make sure the temperature is always at 100 degrees. Great to see that idea put into play really well, Yep, updated the original post with it. I don't know why they aren't producing steam and power now. © Valve Corporation. You showed the first pic with description of "here's 2 versions of the same builds" when you only shown one build in the pic, and the 2 builds aren't the same lol. Hey Patric, mind if I add this to the TDT thread as an updated version of the optimized steam engine layout? by Skellitor301 » Mon Mar 23, 2015 7:18 am, Post Ah, I see what you mean. The steam turbines did work though as far as I can remember. Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts.

This is my compact one, low tech (only small power poles, yellow belts and splitters), only two pipe gaps in each row of engines, and I think a single yellow belt should be able to support 10 rows (100 engines), so no need to use red belts. by Serenity » Tue Sep 10, 2019 11:59 pm, Post If you give fluids a choice of where to go things get messy. "Performance" is the current output, which translates to the current power requirements. Each steam engine needs 0.5 boilers when running at full capacity. Power Plants, Energy Storage and Reliable Energy Supply. If you update to 0.15, the recommended version, you have a electricity grid in map view and can easily spot a disconnect. A "close enough" ratio is 20:24:1 accumulators to solar panels to megawatts required (for example, a factory requiring 10 MW can be approximately entirely powered, day and night, by 200 accumulators and 240 solar panels - this approximation differs from optimal only in that it calls for 20 extra solar panels, which is negligible but remember that the difference between the "close enough" ratio and the optimal ratio increases as you add more solar panels). Steam engines will only produce the amount of power you are actually using. If other areas of your base are lacking power that means you have multiple electrical networks that aren't connected to each other. Don't know how to use a machine? Do your pipes have water? To even reach the maximum available performance for steam turbines, you need to use nuclear power and heat exchangers. Zaflis. And your setup itself is a Bottleneck, you should lay it out better. I literally ended up just making about 60 accumulators and kept the amount of steam engines at that level. One offshore pump can supply 20 boilers and 40 steam engines.The above ratio can be calculated from information available in-game: One boiler consumes 1.8MW of fuel and produces energy stored in steam at 100% efficiency. By using our Services or clicking I agree, you agree to our use of cookies. In other words, a number of turbines or steam engines with steam storage can cope with much higher bursts than the same number of … See also the applied power math tutorial to answer the question how much coal do I need? A green wire connects the output of E and the input of H. When there is full power, the green and red network sum will be 1 for yellow. This page was last edited on 27 October 2020, at 13:19. Steam is also used in coal liquefaction in oil refineries. And actually, it powered at even less than 65% because I intentionally set only one boiler for the steam engine, and the whole reason for that is because 80% production was just about enough power for 1 and 3 at roughly 400ish or so KW. #6. Since steam is a fluid, it can be stored in a storage tank. Side thought. Español - Latinoamérica (Spanish - Latin America). Subreddit for the game Factorio made by Wube Software. Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts. I like to pair that with 20 or 21 turbines. by Patric20878 » Fri Mar 20, 2015 11:18 pm, Post This means a single unit of 500°C steam has 5.82MW / (60/s) = 0.097 MJ of energy.

Are you hovering mouse over an electricity pole to get your electricity consumption/production report? by Skellitor301 » Sun May 01, 2016 3:11 pm, Users browsing this forum: No registered users, Powered by phpBB® Forum Software © phpBB Limited. This is taken from Accumulator / Solar Panel Ratio (which calculates this in an impressive mathematical way!) No wonder adding more pumps increased boiler usage by 2-3 each, because adding more pumps redistributed more power to them from the radars, not increased water throughput! by Mauslag PIngman » Thu Sep 12, 2019 4:12 am, Powered by phpBB® Forum Software © phpBB Limited. Reduces all Generators output by 1/3, and reduces steam usage. If the temperature of the steam is lower than the steam engine or turbine can handle, then the power output will be lower than optimal, but no energy will be wasted. They're all set up the same way (Boilers everywhere possible with auto load) with the same water output but this one's working at 1/8 power.

But your setup has some very big Bottlenecks. by Cerbsen » Fri Feb 27, 2015 2:30 am, Post With the old steam engines I noticed if I put more than two in a line only the first 2 would run so I put in lots of boilers with 2 steam engines on each and that was okay. I then just walked up to the enemy like "♥♥♥♥ you" and just leap frogged them to death. When working, it is actually always empty. At 100% only 14 Boilers can be supported by 1 Pipe. Those would allow to prioritize specific parts of power production/consumption over others. Cookies help us deliver our Services. This is a good thing. They're all like this. Sure, that'd be great. The boiler consumes water to produce steam. All rights reserved. by Patric20878 » Wed Mar 25, 2015 9:29 pm, Post One steam engine consumes 30 steam per second, and one offshore pump produces 1200 water per second, so each offshore pump produces enough water to supply 40 steam engines: 1200 unit/s ÷ 30 units/s = 40. 1 Pump cannot Support so many Boilers. Try this checklist before you completely revamp your power source. They will only use steam to produce the amount of energy required to run your base. by Aru » Sun May 01, 2016 3:53 am, Post The optimal ratio is 0.84 (21:25) accumulators per solar panel, and 23.8 solar panels per megawatt required by your factory (this ratio accounts for solar panels needed to charge the accumulators). not how it used to work. by Ranger_Aurelien » Wed Sep 11, 2019 8:38 pm, Post One offshore pump can supply 12 heat exchangers. Perfectly optimal solar network (Factorio forums), 1 solar panel produces 42KW after factoring in the night (Factorio forums), https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Power_production&oldid=182968. by Cerbsen » Thu Feb 26, 2015 10:28 am, Post Steam engines are the most basic electricity generator, available to the player at the start of the game. They are working at about 10-15% capacity. © Valve Corporation. Reliable and self-repairing energy. by ssilk » Fri Feb 27, 2015 6:11 pm, Post They don't produce the maximum amoutn of power possible. Right now they're positioned for an additional row. You may also use this to rectify brownouts/blackouts. If the in and output are in the same grid it would display an error, similar to an unconnected steam engine. by Mauslag PIngman » Tue Sep 10, 2019 9:27 pm, Post Seemed weird though. The steam production rate can also be calculated using the energy consumption: 1 Heat exchanger consumes 10MW, so it's putting 10,000,000 joule of energy into heating water/steam per second. which, given the default time lengths of: day = 12500/60 s; dawn or dusk = 5000/60 s; night = 2500/60 s, and the default: Solar_power = 60 kW; Accumulator_energy = 5 MJ = 5000 kJ, gives the optimal ratio of 0.84 accumulators per solar panel. If the player uses mods which change the power generation of solar panels, or the energy storage of accumulators, but not the length of days, a simplified version of this equation can be used. Yeah, it's definitely necessary for priority control, and it doesn't actually store any energy. You are simply not using all the energy that these engines can produce, so they are not working as hard to produce it. I think the 3 small pumps can only power 15 steam engines at 100% capacity (29 @ ~50%), because a small pump has only half the water throughput of an offshore pump. It is technically the same build, just yours is more space and resource efficient. You can plop down some radars to increase power demand, which will cause the steam engines to produce more power (and thus push up the power demand / maximum power ratio). Check if structures have enough electricity - if they do there isn't a problem with your power. Check if structures have enough electricity - if they do there isn't a problem with your power.
