I love that engine/boiler layout.
Hope you can keep those bad boys fueled!
I'm also a fan of the 'brutalist' architecture. So far it's quite well done IMO - just the right amount of basic detail.
Instead of using more Powered furnaces, try using steam ovens. They'll do 9 items at a time, and don't require power conversion, just a steam input.
What's running up into the bottoms of the boilers?
1. What is your method of mining?
2.What type of plants are those?
3.That could power a lot of things when it is done![]()
I'm not sure the exact amount of steam needed, but I believe one boiler can power more than one steam oven. I'm not sure how it compares to powered furnaces, but it's supposed to take 12.5 seconds to cook 9 items.

Did the math recently; it's 8000 mb per cycle, just over 30 mb/tick if you're running full time. So basically you're looking at replacing one industrial engine with a hobbyist's engine (or just leaving an engine out and ignoring the loss) for each steam oven a boiler is running, or replacing 3 engines with 4 ovens. They're slightly less energy efficient; a powered furnace could smelt 10 items with the amount of steam used for one cycle in an engine. The ovens are more compact and "cooler", though.
nice, like them? and possibly transposers into an me network via me interface that auto feeds as well? It's a complex build you have to have a seperate me network for each area but it would work. I do something with my beeframes, I possibly could take out those bees with AE.
