New query:

1. Both wiki's say that a steam boiler only requires one aqueous accumulator running at full speed, regardless of size. An AA running at full speed is rated at about 1 bucket every two seconds, quoted by at least one of the wiki's. 1000mB/40t = 25mB/t. This is what the number say as to the water throughput requirements to run a steam boiler.

2. A liquiduct is rated at 160 mB/t per input/output. This means that from one Xycraft tank powered by x number of Xycraft water; one liquiduct input coming from this tank can support up to 6 steam boilers water requirement. Though I will probably have a safety factor of about a billion for these dangerous machines, does this sound about right? (If we go with the limit, the xycraft water blocks would be required to produce at least 150 mB/t of water)

i.e. One valve from the water tank, using liquiducts, can support 6 steam boilers given that the water is produced fast enough.
Click to expand...
In the default configuration, one AA produces 25 mB/t, correct. A 36HP boiler needs ~5 mB/t. Since it is easier to just slap an AA (with two water source blocks beside) below each boiler, (almost) noone fed several boilers per AA, thus the "one AA per boiler" equation. Also this way chunk loading problems which could cut off the water production won't happen (if your boilers don't cross chunk borders). If I were you, I'd scrap the whole XY-idea and just go with AAs.

But for the sake of symmetry =(.

I understand your points though. I will take that into consideration.

Alright. I think I'll be going with 10-16 36 HP boilers. That'll give me a good 1440 - 2340 MJ/t which will convert roughly into 6k EU/t. I'll have to build another matter fabricator.

Steam Turbines:

1. Can you automate the replacement of the parts that deteriorate? If so, what mods will I need to do so? This means I will have to accept an iron running cost if I am to use them to generate EU.

2. If there is no place for the EU to go, will the turbines continue to consume steam?

3. Can steam turbines be turned on and off constantly (i.e. Let's say I had a system that detected when all essential, MJ-on-demand systems (non-continuous) had full steam in their steam "storage", and when all of those were full a condition is passed to the turbines to allow for the consumption of steam to generate EU).

4. 20 turbines is going to require a lot of iron.
