Unintended. The config option is still checked actually, it just isn't being written due to me moving when recipes are loaded. Will be fixed in the next release.
Not sure on the exact numbers myself but I'm using 18 of them on my 36HP with no issues.
You should be able to double that. I remember someone saying they're on par with commercial steam engines.
Well that sounds more like it because I have 20 attached so far and I have lots of steam. So the Steam Dynamo must use 20/t.
Yea the half full steam is the sure fire way to know you're using all the steam produced.Yeah, you're right. Sorry about that.
Add anymore and they start flickering on/off.
Of course, unlike a 'vanilla' BC/Forestry/RC environment, you have energy storage devices to help normalize peak times and require overall lower consistent power output to maintain maximum speed on all machines.
In other words, 36 steam engines, putting out 1,440 RF/t is way more than you are ever likely to need, unless you are powering all of your BC/Forestry/ExtraBees/RC machines with it as well. Even then, you're probably good for quite some time. Also, double-check your throughput on the conduits attached to your engines, you might be hitting an inadvertent choke point in your conduit.

Considering what they do, however, it isn't a big surprise. It's basically some massive shortcuts to effectively arbitrary supply of resources.
To power the MFR's Laser Drill your really not going to use the Steam Dynamo just use the railcraft ones because it's not like your going to turn off the Drill so you don't need to store the power.
Steam Dynamo's are far more fps and server friendly. Besides I'd rather blow some copper on dynamos than wait around for RC steel to cook.
However, you need a full stack of Steam Dynamos to saturate one boiler. It's pretty insane. I'd really appreciate if we got some kind of upgraded dynamo that didn't blow off several hundred copper for a single boiler. Actually, in general high energy production dynamos would be very nice (only one atm that's balanced in terms of cost-production is Compressions IMO since it's only 20 RF/t behind its main competitor, the Combustion Engine, and uses silver which is fairly unused otherwise).
