Okay, so I recently switched my base over to run on steam. I have a tank full of it, with 4 liquiducts inputting, 6 outputting. The tank should be running out of steam, but it is always full. My Steam Turbine is only at 5% to 6%, and I have 10 commercial steam engines connected. They never turn green.
Lots of Liquiducts Connected - Barely Any Steam?

I have 5 connected already, how many do you suggest?[DOUBLEPOST=1376082720][/DOUBLEPOST]I'm tanking it so if there is a problem with my fuel, I have time to fix it.[DOUBLEPOST=1376082752][/DOUBLEPOST]And by fuel, I mean the charcoal for the boiler.
just add more till you find out how many is required i would think you would at need 7-8I have 5 connected already, how many do you suggest?
i was under the impression valves have a limit of 100mb/t a 36HP boiler makes 720mb/t of steamBut shouldn't five be enough to at least empty the tank faster than I can fill it?
Oh, you're right!
I completely forgot about that. I feel like an idiot!
One minute while I redo the valves.

you can extract for anywere on the tank aslong as the liquid is above the valve or atlest thats how i remember itI was under the impression that you could only extract from RC tanks from the bottom 2 blocks. Looks like the majority of your connections are above that.

That's a xycraft tank.
Why the heck would you store steam?
Sauna?

I am not completely sure, but iron tanks may not be able to output steam out from anything but the 2nd lowest block + bottom. This is the case for all other liquids, iirc.
Also, I will be storing steam as I will most likely be producing an excess. This way I know when I can send the excess steam to my turbines and have that EU be gobbled up by my matter fabricator. This is also because I produce a stupid amount of biofuel and would like to maintain 100% production rates. Every time I look at my AE system and see a surplus of all this stuff that could be elsewhere, I become bothered; i.e. using up space in my AE system.
