Steam dynamo's with strange behavior

[fleutius]

I finally got my Steam boilers up and running 2x 36LP liquid boilers run by fuel.

They are hooked up to 2x 9 steam dynamos from TE, screenshot below

The Dynamos seem to blink on and off all the time, not seeming to get steam enough from the boiler.

I realise that i might be completely wrong in thinking that a 36LP boiler can hold 9 dynamo's but that is how i remember things

That does seem odd. It looks like you have one connection per dynamo which should be more than enough. That's 40 steam/t per engine. RC industrial steam engines only use that much and I thought dynamos used the same. Now you have me wondering.....

I am thinking if the new´ish changes to boilers also makes them less productive before fully heated

Try it without any loops in your fluiduct lines. Saw it in a LP a few days ago that loops for some reason cause some weird issues.

I tried with covers to remove loops aswell as cutting out the fluiducts all together.

A single boiler only seem to be able to have 3 dynamo's running atm :S

Update:

The dynamos are now all functioning. It seems that the heat of the boiler was the culprit.

at least for now we shall know peace

else you could just have slapped the dynamos directly to the boiler "walls"

Yes. RC 8.3.0 completely overhauled the boiler heat-up. It no longer requires a massive up-front fuel cost, but it also no longer outputs 100% of the steam starting at 100C. The steam output scales linearly with the temperature.

Oh, yeah, and RC 8.3.0 nerfed solid fuels.

the nerfs doesnt seem that much considering... in the end one will be using mob farms and charcoal to make steam from blaze rods or charcoal...
